It's worth bearing in mind this story from yoonyoon about attending the last MSL:
"I went to the previous MSL at Yonsei, and they had tickets for the fanclubs for each player that let you enter earlier. You need to join their daum fan cafes for that though, and they only accept the requests on a certain day(probably already passed). You don't really want to sit among teenage fangirls anyway, even if you get to sit closer to the front.
The normal people stand in line the day of, an hour or two (don't remember) earlier, in front of the auditorium. There were two lines, one for each player. I didn't really want to pick a player last time, but there wasn't a 'neutral' area so I just stood in the shorter Hydra line."

And this from tomatriedes:
When I went to the Flash-Effort OSL final all the seats were gone by one hour before the event so, since Flash is playing this time I wouldn't take the risk- just get there at least two hours early and bring something to entertain yourself, especially since you're flying all the way to Korea! Note once the seats inside are full they usually won't let any more people in so you'd be stuck watching it on a screen outside. That happened to me for the first game of the Nada-Savior final. Luckily by the second game some people inside left, so we were able to be inside for the rest of the games.
Based on that I want to get to the venue at least 2 hours before the scheduled starting time of 5pm. I figure it's better to pass a little time talking/reading something/listening to an ipod than having to stress about getting in and getting a seat.
ggggbabybabybaby has a good suggestion of a meeting place:
Anyone interested in meeting up at 성북역 (Seongbuk station) on line 1 beforehand and walking over? Maybe get some food/beers before/after?
My hotel is in the same region as the finals so I'm down for meeting him and others there if you want to go along around that timeframe. If people want we can meet up a few hours before that and go get some Korean BBQ to eat and then meet anyone who doesn't want food/can't come that early but still wants to go at that bus stop.
Here's what you do:
* Tell me if you want to meet at ggggbabybabybaby's suggested spot
* Tell me what time you want to/can meet
* Tell me if you have somewhere else you'd rather meet, this might be where people who are all in downtown Seoul find somewhere separate to meet up.
I'll keep track of the thead and edit this post to show who is meeting where and when so by the day of the Final comes everyone knows where to meet. Also then you'll know who to PM with your cell phone numbers etc. if you want to make the plan doubly sound
P.S. Apparently KT plays SKT on Sunday 12th at the MBC venue so I am gonna attend that too, so if someone wants to go there then drop me a PM separately for that or say in this thread.
