Comedic trope, often found in geekish media, wherein a character, driven by the desire to make sure he sees a movie or band, or purchase a product on its release date, camps out at the location selling them. Often subverted by the character doing so ridiculously early, doing it specifically for the publicity, or for something that he would likely have no problem whatsoever purchasing. Very much Truth in Television, though with the advent of online pre-purchasing, it is slowly becoming a Dead Horse Trope, at least in the sense of buying tickets. After all, most entertainment companies prefer to lock in whatever revenue they can as soon as possible (especially before possibly negative reviews come in). Product releases and Black Friday sales are another matter, especially when it comes to game consoles. Subtrope to Right on Queue. |

In the Gilmore Girls revival "A Year in the Life," Rory volunteers to do a piece on lines and the people who stand in them as a means of getting her foot in the door at a magazine (they chose the topic, but didn't have the budget to justify doing it). She spends a day wandering New York with Lorelei talking to people waiting in various lines. At one point, she comes across a group of people who admit they don't know what the line is for, they just joined it to find out. When she gets to the front of the line, it turns out it's just some people eating lunch and they have no idea why a line has formed behind them. Despite this being the perfect group of people to interview, Rory and Lorelei just laugh at them and walk away. | |

An episode of Bones has the lab guys camping out in line for the movie Avatar, one of the most unrealistic Ticket Line Campouts ever portrayed. In fact, they already had the tickets. They were lining up to get the "best seats." | |

One episode of King of the Hill is about Lucky, Luanne, and Bobby waiting in line for several days to get the first tickets to see Brownsville Station (of "Smokin in the Boy's Room" fame.) When the box office opens, not a single person has gotten in line behind them and Lucky buys the worst seats they have claiming that they make the guitar solo better. Then Lucky starts waiting at the door. | |

In the Victorious episode "Wanko's Warehouse", Tori and the gang spot a large line of customers camping outside Wanko's for its big sale, suspicious as the sale doesn't start until 7:00. When she asks Sinjin if they could cut in line with them, that's when Sinjin reveals the sale starts in the morning — 7:00 AM, which explains why the line is like this. | |

He asks Grace to sub for him so he can run to the bathroom and Grace then asks Karen to take over so Grace can go yell at her mother. Karen ends up becoming a Manilow fan while talking to a woman in line. | |

The Drew Carey Show: Drew Carey and friends camped out to get tickets to the first new Cleveland Browns game; the guy in front of them at the window only wanted one ticket and Drew convinced him he should get some for his friends as well. So he got four. Turned out those were the last four tickets. Which is probably best, because otherwise Drew and his friends would have had to decide which one of them was going to be left out. Better none of them go than one left out. | |

Dragon Quest games are always released on a weekend in Japan, specifically to prevent people from skipping work or school in order to camp out to get the new game on a weekday. For some time, there was a bill in the Japanese Diet to make this a legal requirement (though almost certainly this was a publicity stunt). | |

In one episode of The Goldbergs, Adam blackmails Erica into standing in line with him for tickets to the new Star Wars movie. When he runs to use the washroom, Erica's friends show up. Rather than admit she's waiting in the line, she asks the man ahead of them to hold their spot and joins her friends. Adam returns and finds their spot gone. Erica makes up for it by flirting with a theater employee and getting them in for free. | |
