How early should I be to a Mccain Rally? (Vanity)
10/06/08 | Me

I am planning on going to a Mccain Rally in Ohio on Thursday. The doors open at 4pm. What time should I get there if I wanna get a good seat? Should I get there several hours in advance? I have never been to a rally and thought fellow freepers could give me some insight.

McCain or Palin? LOL makes a difference.

I went two hours early to a Palin event and barely made it to SRO status.

just go as early as you can.

Correction: I met to say “go to” not “be to”. Thanks to anyone for their advice in advance.

A report after the rally would be great.. Go early and get a good slot. A couple of hours at least.

Washington Pa, two hours early, bring a pillow, bottles of water, time will go by quickly, talking to all the enthusiastic well mannered people you will meet.

Depends on whether Sarah will be there.

If so, get there 3 - 4 hours early.

I went to the event in Carson, CA Saturday. It was a blast.

Got to see Sarah from about 20 feet away. She is the real deal

I saw John and Sarah in Colo Spgs right after the convention. I went 2 hours early and barely got in...It was a total blast though.

Go early as you can! Take lots of pics and let us know how you make out!

Go Mavericks!

Find out what time the gates open for the event... and be there at least 30-45 minutes before then and stand in line.

I went to the Palin Rally in Carson, CA on Saturday... gates opened at 11:30... which is when I got there... the line was already snaked 1/2 around the soccer stadium.

If it’s just McCain, don’t worry. They’re will be plenty of good seats. If it’s Palin, bring a sleeping bag and get there mucho early.
