Going to a gig at the end of this month for the first time and I have a few questions. Is buying merch anything like vicar street where they sell you merch first before waiting for the concert doors, or do you all just pour in at the same time while others wait for the gig to start whilst others are buying merch? If so where do they sell the merch? To add I have VIP and plan on getting barricade I just wouldn’t wanna lose my spot paying as I’m going on my own.
