Dialing it in from heaven
To the poster above, I hope you're joking with that "person +1" garbage. Idon'tthinkso.
Also, it seems that in Richmond, no one was in line until approximately 5 pm!!! My friend tells me it worked out WONDERFULLY that way, with no pushing, shoving, or jiving. Or queue-jumping!
Why was the Richmond show such an anomaly? It seems it would be extraordinary if it could be that way for every show.

Disappointed
With Everything
Yes, I think that that would probably be the preferred method of action: no one lines up at all until an hour before the doors open. That way, the whole issue of bathroom breaks, food breaks, personal hygiene breaks, etc. would be eliminated entirely. Everyone would be able to arrive at the show with a full stomach, an empty bladder, and will have bathed and slept. No aching feet. It would translate to a more enjoyable concert experience for everyone. It would level the playing field.
Of course, not everyone wants a level playing field. Some people want to prove their devotion to Morrissey by suffering like a medieval penitent. All that they're missing are the hair shirts and the cat-o-nine-tails.
I must say that I HUGELY enjoyed the dates that I saw on the last tour. I saw Morrissey twice on the last tour, both at seated venues. In neither instance did I get front-row seats (not even close, in fact), but it didn't matter, partly because I was entirely stress-free.

Oh there was queueing, but it was in a restaurant. They had a thing where if you ate at the restauant next door you got in early. There most definitely was queueing, all day, in said restaurant.

No One You Know
Why would I be joking? It's happened many times before... when young men look into Mozzer's eyes I've scored. (Some of the girls pull, too — they get all excited from weeks of frinking. Many of my heterosexual male counterparts owe some very "good times" to Morrissey.)
Don't hate.

Boning and queuing, or not queuing in this case, have nothing to do with each other. The aforementioned reasoning on this subject is really pushing it.
Edit: The only reason why I am wasting my time commenting on such things is because it's really not fair to assume that because you do what you want to do, it's not unfair to everyone else. Just because someone wants to do their own thing, put a +1 on the list, leave the line for 5 hours, or let their friends in front of them (all 20 of them) 30 minutes before doors; does not mean that the rest of the people in the line are going to be A-Ok with it and pat you on the back for a job well done.
For all of those who remain silent on the issue, you're welcome.

You're mistaken. We were there at 8:30 AM and we were right there at the door all day long. We didn't have an official list, but we knew who had been there and who hadn't been. The only reason it worked out so well is because Arturo came onto the scene and told us we were to go in first since we'd been there all day.

This is why I'm enjoying the queue today in Dallas. This is how queueing should always be:

seeing pictures of a morrissey venue day-of-show when I'm not there (and have no other shows currently planned) makes me a sad panda.
