WWE Elimination Chamber 2012: 5 Tips to Attending a WWE Live Event

Tomorrow night, WWE will present its final PPV offering before WrestleMania XXVIII. The show is called Elimination Chamber, but it is so much more than that. It is two major title matches, an Ambulance match, and a very interesting Divas battle.

As most know, I will be attending the show. Hailing for the great state of Wisconsin, WWE has decided to return with a PPV event. The last was Taboo Tuesday in 2004, in which I also attended.

However, there are certain steps you have to follow before going to a WWE live event. It is not as simple as driving to the arena and watching the show. As a fan who has gone to well over 20 wrestling events, here are five tips to make the experience as wonderful as possible!

5. Follow the Product

How many fans know that Randy Orton is out of the Elimination Chamber?

How many fans know that Santino Marella is going for the World Title this Sunday?

Who is going to cheering for Undertaker and Triple H all night?

That is what I mean. If you follow the product, you should know where storylines are right now. The Game and The Deadman will be nowhere near a ring Sunday night in Milwaukee.

Same with Orton.

The examples are endless, but the end result is the same. If you follow WWE regularly, you should be able to keep up with the show. If not, I hope the "group" you went with are very patient in explaining all the little details.

4. Leave Your House Early

Watch the first few seconds of the video I posted!

That is the perfect description of a WWE live event.

Upon the doors to the arena opening, it is just pure chaos. I hope you are ready for thousands of fans all running to their seats. It may seem like I am exaggerating here, but I am not.

I have been to a lot of WWE shows, and all but two I have been early and on time. The few that I was running late were not very fun to deal with.

Add scanning tickets, getting a drink, using the restroom, getting food (I usually don't), and you have a lot more on your hands.

That is not even considering the huge crowd around the merchandise stands! Trust me. The newest (or best) shirts always sell out before the show even begins. It sounds redundant, but leave your house early and avoid all of this rush!

3. Sign Ideas

Who doesn't love "Sign Guy?"

When going to a WWE show, make sure you have some creative ideas for signs. A poster can not only add some fun to the show, but it can land you on TV!

In this case, it will be on PPV. That is a very cool thing to think about. In front of millions of people, you could be replayed in video packages and in WWE Magazine photos for years to come.

Of all the events I have gone to, only a few times have I gone without a poster. More often that not, I make up a few nice "quotes" a few hours before the show and write them on a big poster.

For Elimination Chamber, I am leaving it in the hands of all of you! Give me a few ideas, and I will put pen to paper. There is only one day left, folks! Let me know below...

2. Pick Your Poison

That 17-second clip says it better than I ever could...

When going to a WWE event, make sure you know what you are getting yourself into. The last thing you want to do is be sitting next to a "Negative Ned" for three hours.

That can't be fun.

Every move creates a negative comment under his breath. Every rest hold brings out a loud "boring" chant. Every finish warrants a "cynical, insulting" response.

How do people ever enjoy WWE?

I often wonder. In my case, I have a lot of positivity surrounding me. Thus, I have no doubts the WWE show is going to be a great time!

1. Bring Your Tickets

I have season tickets to the Green Bay Packers.

I go to many Milwaukee Brewers games.

I go to watch the Milwaukee Bucks play.

Every time I go to see a sporting, musical or any other entertainment event, there is only one concern. Just one to worry about!

"Do you have tickets?"

In this case, I have six tickets. I bought two back in December and won four from the PWR Show two weeks ago. I am all set!

You can get into a show without a poster. You can get into a show if you are late. You can get into a show if you are alone. You can get into a show if you do not follow the product.

However, you need a proof of purchase. It may sound like the most obvious choice, but it is also the most important.

No ticket, no entry!
