As far as I know in most venues they have a GA pit right in front which is standing only and seem to go for absolutely ridiculous prices. Interestingly for this tour the GA pit tix are the same price as the floor reserved seats are....but yes we do do some silly things here in the states. GA has been a hot topic here for as long as I can remember ever since Some fans got killed at a who show in Cincinnati back in 1979 during a stampede that occurred while trying to enter.

Yes, in this series of concerts, the field has physical seats along with some premium general admission (standing/pit). The seats are usually attached together (often zip ties) so thing stay organized. Thanks, appreciate the help. So from what I understand it won't be a crazy pit like scenario (even though I don't think anyone will actually sit while they're playing) and you have at least some degree of your "own, limited, space". Plus I'm not the tallest guy so I should be ok to see properly? So... with that in mind I just managed to get a Live And Let Die VIP for Chicago SEC A3! Pretty excited!! Hope it turns out to be a good one... Thanks all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

challenger70rt Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I think it's kind of funny that the VIP tickets are soooo expensive (believe me I know I foolishly bought one for vegas) when you can literally get the exact same ticket for a fraction of the price. I got GA PIT 1 for pgh at $221. The exact same ticket only w free booze and a book and a little swag was billed as the welcome to the jungle VIP PIT experience for $1750.. Good God. If anyone has that package for pgh, I'm offering $40 for you to grab me beers as you go with your free drinking pass lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You come out ahead and it helps them make back some of the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here in Detroit. That's why I ended just getting lower bowl like I wanted to in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
challenger70rt Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 $221 was face. With taxes and fees it was $251 n some change. You have to figure though it would vary a little bit from area to area. Different taxing structures, entertainment fees etc, probably make up the bulk of the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evan442 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Is it possible to get a refund? I have a 12th row ticket for San Diego. I was going to go myself, but a ticket with a group of friends opened up. I'm trying to sell it on eBay and Stub Hub for face value (261.75 with fees). but no one is biting, Ugh!

Yeah, just call them.. I returned a bunch of tickets yesterday because no one wanted them. I would do it sooner than later though. It may depend on the venue but there is usually a 24 hour grace period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandy123 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 wow, this thread got intense, lol, I'm sort of glad I missed the 10am sat mad rush or I'd have ended up breathing into a paper bag in the fetal position. My original plan was wait til the 7th, for the facebook presale, but when I started watching twitter when nightrain tix went on sale, people were saying whole stadiums were selling out and how they couldn't get tickets. So spur of the moment at 11pm Sat night, I bought a nightrain membership so I could try for Kansas City. I was only looking to spend about $100 a ticket since my husband is more or less tagging along so I don't get murdered, but also didn't want to be in the nosebleed section. Got Club seating, veering off toward Duff's side (which anywhere on Duff's side is what I wanted). I'm ok with them, I'm breathing the same air as them at least, which i thought would never happen, ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
