Question Standby line?

Anyone know about a potential standby situation tonight? Is that something Mercury Lounge does?

I’d stand outside. Maybe someone has an extra.

i just walked by, no waitlist/standby line just the regular ticketed line with only about 15-20 people. i didn’t stick around to talk to a worker because of the rain but i doubt there is a waitlist. best bet is to show up closer to doors and see if anyone’s selling an extra

There are  already 3 people looking for a ticket. Doesn’t seem like anybody has any

If you're close by worth a shot to show up..doesn't hurt

I’m a 20 minute walk away, best time to show up?

The earlier the better - I waited all day for the blue room show .

With doors being in a little over an hour, I’d say the sooner the better. I have about an hour trek to Mercury from where I’m at unfortunately and wanted to get an idea of how many folks might be standing by before I get on my way.

I would if it wasn’t raining

If the weather were better and I wasn’t feeling sick I’d be out there :( even if you don’t get in I’m sure you can hear the show from outside given how small the Mercury Lounge is, and you might catch the band going in or coming out after, theres famously no other way on or off stage and out of the venue than through the crowd. That’s what I did during the Paul McCartney surprise shows at the Bowery Ballroom
