About Innuendo: it’s an instrumental intro coming from a tape, not the whole song. It looks and sounds impressive though. Brian and Roger had recorded it with a whole orchestra before the North American Tour this year.

Yes I know, but it’s just such an amazing opener and it indeed sounds so impressive. But Now I’m Here is also an amazing opener so :)

By the way, does anyone know if you can go to the bathroom and then go back in line and just get your own spot back? I heard something about writing a number on your hand and something with someone in front or behind you. Also, I’m to the concert with my sister. I’m going to be there at 10:00 am, but she’s going to be there a few hours later. Is it possible for here to just stand with me or does she have to stand in the back? And is 10:00 am a good time if I want to stand as close to the stage as possible? Sorry for the many questions, but this is my first concert and I really want to be prepared for this cause I’ve been waiting for such a long time.

You should be able to a bathroom. When you’re waiting in line, you get to know the people around you. And we all have the same needs. ;) Inside the venue, I wouldn’t leave my spot. You will most probably not get it back.

10 am should be fine.

The numbers thing is a thing of the glamberts I think. They are usually the first at the venue and some like to write a number on the back of your hand, so that the order at the time of entrance is secured. Thing is, this doesn’t work at most venues, because those open many doors at once. That system also relies on the acceptance of the other fans, because the venues don’t care about any numbers. If you’re at the door, they let you in.
If your sister comes later, it shouldn’t be a problem, that she waits with you. But of course that depends on the other fans around you. But usually that’s ok. My friends had waited since early morning last time and I only joined them in the afternoon after work.

The numbers thing is a common practice for many GA venues. I go often to O2 London for different bands and it's often the case when fans start queueing up early!
Come for 10am only if you're after the spot by the barriers, about 3 - 4 pm for the second row.
It's going to be tough as the interest to see Queen + AL is all time high at present.
I'd advise you to join Queen/AL fan clubs on Facebook and twitter for more uptodate information.

Okay, thank you for your advice AngelR and anadamfan. Only one question: what kind of number do you have to write on your hand?
A
I didn’t write it on my hand. The glamberts, who had been there first wrote numbers on our hands. The number shows the order of arrival at the venue. After some time, they stopped (number 100?).

At a concert with a different artist the venue itself gave out numbers on paper. If that happens, you can be sure, that they will make sure to let fans in order of those numbers.

But it doesn’t happen everywhere. At my Queen concerts the numbers didn’t matter.

They are doing what Black Sabbath did for years and years basically are playing the same twelve songs all of the time. Sigh.

I take that back. That's not true. Why can I not delete or edit a post?!

You know, you can look that up on the respective ticket sites, right? You can find the links on Queen Online and look for yourself.
