I am contemplating buying a ticket for the Saturday show in DC, and I am wondering if anyone has an idea of how early the soundchecks actually start?

I wouldn't be able to get to the Warner until about 6:30pm that evening. Is that too late? How long after 5:00 pm does the will call stay open for NPGMC laminates?

Thanks,
BB

Hi Brian,

There's no set time or guarantee on the sound-checks.

Based on my experience, if soundcheck accessibility does occur without a hitch, by 6:30 it will be long underway. Showing up that late may be "pushing it" in terms of them letting you in.

However, don't take my word for it. I had a similar question when I went to the concert I attended. I wrote the NPGMC, and they wrote me back very quickly and in a friendly manner. My circumstances were different than yours however. I would write them and see what they tell you.

If you don't want to write them, then I highly advise you do whatever you can to get there between 5 and 5:30 at the very latest. If you can't, then just go to the concert and enjoy yourself!

There is no info. about that exact thing. It just says that will-call tickets will be available at 5pm, and you can ONLY get your laminate if you have a ticket and you MUSt buy a presale ticket to get your laminate.

I think 6:30 may be pushing it a bit. The soundchecks are usually between 1 hour - 1-1/2 hours before the show right?

Anyone - help us out here - when were the soundchecks for the other shows?
