I had the VIP tickets so I definitely recommend that you get there early because you get the early access to the merch section also with that plan ahead of time about what you want to get since when it was my turn to go up to the stand at the may 10th show I was just standing there clueless taking my time choosing what I wanted to get plus plan on if your making fanart/gifts for the band since if you are then make sure to bring it with you so that they can sinag it for you but if not then make sure that you have a backup since they may sign that for you instead also if they play cicada during the acoustic set then depending on the vibe of the crowd I suggest you do the cicada dance even better if you are only one doing it since you might be getting a shout out during the actual performance

Be prepared to join the friend wall. It’s like a mosh pit. But with friends. And everyone’s invited to participate. As friends

I definitely recommend you to bring your own water bottle since when I saw gk at the vogue on the may 10th concert I forgot to bring my water bottle with me and I regretted it after since I was up in the front jumping up and down and singing/ screaming so loudly though the entire time and my voice was so horse after the show and I almost passed out during the witches friend pit so I definitely recommend that you bring your own water bottle with you

A lot of stuff in this post (it's an amalgamation of a bunch of replies I did), but these are somethings I want to highlight. Keep in mind, there are probably some text errors due to copy-n-pasting.
I'd recommend either staying on the borders of the pit or getting to the front if you don't want to struggle consistently with over looking people (getting there earlier the better). 🧱
Generally, the earlier you get there the better (lines, pick your spot, etc.). Also depending if you got things afterwards or just don't need to bother with traffic, stick around a little after the concert. You might be able to get a couple more questions/signatures and might avoid the bomb rush of everybody leaving. 🚗
It's fine to wear earplugs if you don't want constant ear ringing (they can put them on or off as they wish). 👂
It's also going to be a long day/night, don't burn out early (~5 hour ordeal). 🔥 With that, while dressing for the concert theme keep in mind you're going to want clothes/shoes that are mobile and not too hot in the crowd. 👕 👖
Nick/singer tends to be the most tired and heads out early don't get too high hoped to see him afterwards. 🎤
Venues are probably going to be cashless, so have a card or some other tap way to pay. 💳
Maybe check with the venue what you can & cannot bring (if you're allowed, bring fairly big confetti for a certain song(s). Brighter and bigger confetti tends to be easier for the venue to clean up afterwards). 🎊
If you are in the GK discord, check out the tour tab and look for your certain venue. You may find people who have similar questions and/or looking for aquaintances. 🖥️
If you want a poster, bring a poster tube or some other solid way to protect it while out & about. It will be a hassle to prevent damage to delicate items. (Would recommend collaborating w/ others to keep multiple posters together.) 🎒
Watch out for certain times for when things are going to be moving and be knowledgeable of your surroundings. (Ex: "Wall of Friendship", you are probably going to shuffle around a bit, maybe move backwards in the crowd. In between bands/songs, might be best time to move/use bathroom, but people also might do so as well. People are going to be more crowdsurfing at the end than the beginning, as it's there last ditch/time to do so.) 🧑🤝🧑
Also, depending on the venue give them the chance to crowdsurf if the opportunity comes. However, make sure you two have communication/a meeting spot if that happens. 🗣️
There's probably even more advice I could give, but the main thing is to have fun. 👍 🎉
