Getting in line early???

Is anyone going early to get a place in line so you are up front for the general admission area? Doors open at 7:00pm. I really don't want to fight my way to the front - and i'm only 5'2" and don't want to get stuck in the back and unable to see! But not sure if sitting at the door is the way to go.
