That's awesome! How big is the stage? Can a fair number of people get right up to it? *hopeful*

Yeah, how big is the stage...? I'm Googling Sonar now, and it says the capacity is 1,000+, so I mean, I don't think it's that small of a place really. :xD: But seems like it'll be a good place. :)

I'm sure close to 20 people will be able to surround the stage. The stage somewhat comes out to the crowd like a semi-circle.

The place can most likely hold that many people, hahah but the main room I doubt can hold little more than 600 people. It's going to be pretty packed if the turnout goes well. :xD:

the photos i saw on their site/MySpace looked fairly crowded. but it also looked pretty casual. the stage didn't look like very much of one, not very elevated or anything. VAMPS may find us all right up in their faces! haha, it's a good thing we'll all be friends! ^^

If you're pretty sure you're coming, then post here so we can get an idea of who will be here.

Has anyone been to this venue before? Are they nice? Do they let you line up early?

I saw HYDE at Slim's before and the staff were...less than perfect. (very confusing, and a bit rude). Hopefully Sonar will be better.

I already picked up 3 tickets for this show. :)

What/where's Slim's?

Slim is a club in San Francisco I think? That's where hyde had a concert years ago ^^.

The website says the main room can hold 1,400 - which I believe is where VAMPS will be.

I'm looking at the production specs and it says:

26'W x 24'D

4’ Steel concert style, removable as per artist request
Stage Left Wing:

now we can all wish that they will request to remove the barricade lol

Haha yeah no barricade ^^

They had the barricades up when I went and big bouncer size guys standing between the barricade and the stage. (I saw wu-tang clan) Method Man stepped over the bouncer onto the barricade and right above me and right into the crowd. But yeah the stage isn't very elevated probably about 4' aswell (same as barricade). I didn't notice barricades in the VAMPS performances I've watched online, so maybe we'll be lucky. Then again they may know how insane the American fans are!
