My experience lining up for merch

hey everyone i was at the glendale show today (april 28th) and i know some people stress out over merch and getting things they want so i wanna tell yall about my experience. I arrived at around 10:30 when the merch booth opened at 2 and the line was already decently long so if you are really set on getting a light stick id say show up a little earlier than i did depending on when the merch booth opens for your specific show (people at the front said they arrived at 8/9 am). The line did end up moving which caused me to push ahead so there was only like 30 people ahead of me. I was able to get a lightstick + the crewneck and was out of the line by 2:10. I didn’t get a good look but from what i saw when i left the line, everyone was getting a lightstick. So if you really really want a lightstick, get there super early. The crew was really amazing and pretty organized (besides the line being moved) so my tip is to ASK THE STAFF QUESTIONS! The worst thing that’ll happen is they have no info but thankfully i asked someone in the merch booth where the merch line technically started and he said he was told to the right of the merch booth (when everyone was lining up to the left) and since i was already at the booth i just stayed there till everyone realized and started running over. pls remember to take water since i felt pretty close to passing out lmao and be respectful to everyone there and all staff that are there, they are here to help and are there to answer questions :) if you have specific questions about merch i’ll try and answer the best i can. <3
