I'm going to Raw next week, and to be honest, I'm not expecting a great show. It's mainly dedicated to the million dollar contest, and nothing to do with wrestling. Also Orton is out, so it's a big disappointment not to see him.
My seat is Section G. Row 3, Seat 2. Next to the stage. Has anyone sat in that area before? How was it?
I'm thinking about bringing some signs. Anyone have any ideas? So far I have "HEAL ORTON... HEEL TRIPLE H"
Which camera is best to take pictures inside the arena during the show? Least blurriness, and least lighting problems.
I really want to get autographs and pictures before the show. I don't know where to go at all. Where do wrestlers usually go before the show? The day before? When do the wrestlers usually get to the arena? Are they staying at the hotel next to the airport? When do they usually show up?
Any other tips for the show?

Go there expecting a good time, and you'll have one. It doesn't matter how bad the show is on TV, a WWE event is always fun.

Some stars like to go sign autographs for fans who are waiting outside the building? I'm not expecting any big stars.
The event is televised. It's the Raw show next week.

Personally....
Unless it's your first show and you want a picture by the ring or something, I'd leave my camera at home. Whenever I take one, I always end up trying to be a WWE photographer and take the perfect pictures, which makes me enjoy the show less. So now I just focus on watching and having a good time, and leave the picture taking to the professionals there to capture the event.
Autographs... get there early, around Noon, and look for the giant crowd of people by the back parking lot where the wrestlers usually come in. Some will sign and take pictures, others won't.
Signs... sorry, I have no ideas. Again, I wouldn't take any. It's annoying to the people in the back of you who are trying to see what's going on, but it's really up to you. You paid money to sit there, so you can do whatever you want.
I don't the entire show is going to be based around the million dollars. They've got Triple H/Cena to build for, so maybe you'll get a main event tag team match with them teaming. Jericho also said that he's going to be defending the title every week, so you'll probably get an Intercontinental title match, a good opener, maybe a Highlight Reel, a tag team match involving the champions, Holly & Rhodes, vs. another team, or Santino/Carlito again. Something to do with the Women's championship, as well...
The million dollar giveaway will take up a 20 min. segment most likely on live TV, and a quick backstage segment.
Have a good time!!

The point he was making was don't persecute them or expect them to bend over backwards to get an autograph for you. Personally, unless it was a signing, or i seen the guy standing around bored out of his head, i wouldnt ask for an autograph or a picture. But everyones different. I'm sure you'll have fun at the RAW show. Camera-wise, I'd just bring the one with the most settings and try to figure out which setting works best. As Get A Rhythm said, bringing a camera has the potential to lessen the fun o the night. However, for me, i love bringing cameras to the events and enjoy looking at them afterwards. I wouldn't bother with a sign though. I used to bring replica belts to the event, and although it seems like a great idea when you're going, its just hassle and a pain in the bollocks once you are actually at the show. A belt wasnt too bad though, cos you can just throw it around your waist, but i think a sign might cause some problems  Either way, i wouldnt look into it all too much. Just do us all a favour and scream like a bitch whenever anyones theme music comes on. Im sick of silent crowds  |

You will have fun no matter what..
Seat 2 in that sections is actually opposite the stage so you will be sitting further away from the stage. The seats run left to right when facing the ring. I was in the same situation once back in 2005 and I hated the seats but I am picky and spoiled when it comes to getting front row.
Best bet on getting some pics and autographs are to go outside of the arena before the show. I would go around 1 or 2pm and that is central time. Too many people show up after the show to try and meet them and usually they are ready to leave so going before is best. Some arenas have underground parking so it is more difficult to meet anyone.. not sure about Oakland. If you find out what hotel most of them stay at then you can go out there after the show.
As for signs I have never bothered bringing sings. I would just hate hauling around signs and having people behind me get angry.

Just hope for ONE thing while you're there. HOPE that you don't sit anywhere near people that think they know everything about wrestling. When I was there a few times "Oh man, he sold that poorly, what was he thinking? I could do better than that!" among all the other stupid random bullcrap that you hear..UGH! If you want to have fun, you hopefully be sitting next to kids. Not for sick reasons, but they enjoy the show for what it is and show the most energy for what they're seeing. You can't beat that, because you know you want to be into the show as much as they are. Some people just take it to seriously and forget how to enjoy something. Like half this board  |

Signs suck.
Find a Mariott or something after the show, or the airport the next morning. They have always been great to us in those situations.

You can go to the back parking lot to meet the wrestlers.

Most of the major arenas WWE runs now have back entrances that aren't accessible to the public, so you can't even get autographs anymore.

Personally, unless it was a signing, or i seen the guy standing around bored out of his head, i wouldnt ask for an autograph or a picture. But everyones different. True that. I don't approach unless there is loads of people getting pics with them or if they're standing around doing nothing, if you're at the hotels, sometimes they approach you though... |

I'll be at this show too...I got seats right behind Jim Ross and The King. Anyone know from experience what time of day the wrestlers get in to the airports? Night before/Morning/Afternoon? I've always been curious about that..

I've always been curious about that.. Most of them will not be flying into Oakland because they have a house show the night before about an hour away. |
