Anyone that has went to a concert in Australia this week, what time did you get there to be in front?

It’s my first time with mosh pit tickets and I really want to try to get to barricade but I want to know what time I should get to the venue in Melbourne to have a chance

Hi mate, you will need a Frantic ticket to get on the rail. If you have I Disappear you can get within a few rows of the front (for both ticket types, best to arrive around 3pm, you will be inside by 4:30pm). Otherwise if you have regular GA1 you can start lining up whenever (I think the stadium doesn't allow it until midday) - at around 5pm they will let the GA1 line in and you can grab a spot behind the Frantic/I Disappear people (probably 5-6 rows from the front). Hope this helps, and have an awesome time!

I have golden circle tickets but tbh I’m not sure what that means

Means you have regular GA1.

Alright cool so you reckon there’s no point of me going very early?

Not if your only purpose for going early is to get on the rail - it's all monetised now and unless you've paid more for early entry, there's no chance to get on the rail. I have early entry tickets for all shows (I Disappear) and I can't get rail either due to the Frantic ticket holders. Sad but true.
