Line 18:
* [[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''.
* ''[[Mock the Week]]'' has the panel speculating on how nice it would have been to be camping right at the front of the line for ''[[Harry Potter]] and the Deathly Hallows'', dressed as Darth Maul, and then at the point of sale say, "''[[The Da Vinci Code]]'', please."
* ''[[That '70s Show]]'' has Eric camping out to get tickets to Styx. The next day, he is the only person in line.
* An episode of ''[[The Cosby Show]]'' has the kids trying to persuade the parents to let them camp out for Michael Jackson concert tickets.
* ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'' has Lily and Robin camping outside a wedding boutique so Lily can get a dress when their sale starts in the morning. Unfortunately, just as they're setting up camp, a nearby car alarm goes off. For twelve hours they sit in their folding chairs, unable to sleep, unable to think as the car keeps blaring incessantly. When the car's owner finally shows up in the morning to turn it off, every woman in the line attacks him.

* One ''[[Luann]]'' strip is a collection of "Things that are very hard to move". One is "The first person in line for ''[[Twilight (novel)|New Moon]]'', represented by a man seeing a tent in front of a cinema, with a sign saying "LINE STARTS BEHIND ME!" taped to the tent, and another saying "LINE STARTS HERE V" taped to the wall behind it.

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