I walked past the Manchester Academy today at 1.30pm and there were already about 40 people queued up to see Cradle of Filth, which can't have started any earlier than 7.30. I've seen this happen loads of times, but why? You can get to the front of the crowd easily whatever time you turn up.



(Plus, it's Cradle of Filth! There isn't any point in turning up at all!)
