1 Get there early. Usually about five hours early (or more) before you're allowed to go in (no exaggeration) will guarantee you a spot at the front, especially at smaller shows, if it's general admission. Some may believe that an hour or maybe even two will get you right to the fence, but more than likely not, unless it's an extremely small turn-out. A decent sized venue with even semi-popular bands playing will fill quickly. If the concert starts at 6:00 p.m., get there about noon to be in the front of the line.
2 Keep your place in line. Normally, doors will open about an hour or so before a show begins, depending on the venue's rules. Even if you're in the beginning of the line, if you leave to go to the restroom or get something to eat, you can lose your place. The best way to prevent this is to go with a group of friends. That way, if one of you needs to leave, you can always return right back to your spot. Take turns and watch out for each other so that someone won't take your place in line. If standing, keep your feet spread shoulder's width apart to show that you're holding a space for someone. If sitting, put a bag in between you and the person behind you to hold a place.
3 Once inside, stay where you are. You've waited hours for a good spot, so don't risk letting go of it now. Keep your feet planted firmly on the ground and if you're right in front at the fence or the stage, don't let anyone move in front of you, no matter how much they try to push through. It's basic concert etiquette to try to be as polite as possible, but if you've worked for your front row space, don't let anyone have it who has arrived later.
4 Keep your friends close. One of the best tricks to keeping a front row spot is having friends around. Not only will you be able to make a sort of barrier between yourself and other people, but if you must leave the floor, they can save your spot. If needed, link arms. You'll have a much better chance at not getting shoved back or injured.
5 Stand your ground. This is assuming that you're already in the front or close. Keeping your feet a shoulder's width apart and flat on the ground (also wearing good shoes with tread) will ensure that you won't be butted out of a good place. Even though you may believe that your spot is secure, there are very rude and uncaring concert goers who believe that even if they arrive late, they deserve to be right at the stage. Don't let anyone in front of your for any reason whatsoever, even if you're a nice person, don't.
