While waiting in line? Was planning on bringing chairs and showing up about 5 hours before doors open. It's not an official Trump rally but SD GOP Rally he's attending this Friday. Tickets were sold out and they decided to sell 6k more after that. So there's defiantly going to be a crowd. Would love to get a good spot so I'm guessing 5 hours won't be enough time, but that's all I can do.

yes^ you will have so much fun! & we're making plans as I type; trying to decide where to sleep. and to be safe, I would be there as early as possible just in case. been trying to figure out a schedule, but not a lot of info out there, but from previous experience, we get there between 6:30 & 7:00. and are usually in the first couple rows in the 'corral' so we alway have seats up close.
if you don't make it into that part of the line, you won't be in the best seats, but I also think we're guaranteed since we paid. also, cheap chairs, a blanket or towel if you like to sit on ground. a clear plastic carrying bag helps a lot & you really don't need much because you spend most of the time talking.
Making plans for this friday's event? Are you from Rapid City? I'm traveling a couple states to go there !
no, my best friend is & I'm to the east, but we can get there in an afternoon. & you will love it, Presidents & Q hints Everywhere! if you go to Mount Rushmore, make sure to pay attention on the presidential trail; George Washington is in spot 17 instead of 1;) it's like a real life treasure hunt.
It will be at the "Monument" not mount Rushmore. If I am mistaken on your message, yes I will go to Mt. Rushmore after :)
yes, that's what I meant:) I think we'll go to Mt. R. Saturday morning before we go home; it's real pretty that time of day.
What do you mean by "and to be safe" ?
it's pretty relaxed real early in the morning & people come in slowly, but then there seems to be a rush & the 'corral' will fill up quickly around 10, so you want to get there before the rush to 'be safe' and have good seats up front.
But then again, this seems like a different type of event, since we had to pay. would say the earlier the closer to the stage you would be. but we should have guaranteed seating regardless. non-paying rallies people have to wait outside the gate if they're not early enough.
