Were they not in LA first before they moved to St Louis though? (they were) 

They were...  but the irony of the whole thing is that the guy who moved them (Owner Stan Kroenke), was instrumental in bringing them from LA in the first place.  He was a 40% owner, and when Georgia Frontiere died (majority owner), he bought the rest of the team (I believe in 2010), and promised to keep them in St. Louis, because he's a Missouri guy.  They misled fans (and season ticket holders like myself) into saying they were staying, but had plans in the works as early as 2012/2013 to move them.  So he's kind of a dick. :)

I don't know why GNR does it. U2 and Metallica don't use chairs in the states. 

To squeeze more $ out of the people. And for security reasons. Americans are fat. They can't stand that long. ;-) And they are sue happy. So unless a band doesn't insist on it being general admission and leaves it up to the promoter it usually is seated.

Think we' ll see same set as in europe. No suprises. I also don't think Axl will mention the riot in any way.

Who knows. Maybe we will see some deep cuts from CD or a tribute to Chester Benington.

Plus they actuallly sell these as 'seats'...  with section, row and seat #'s..  otherwise it would just be GA.

Yes. That's the "squeeze more $ out" part of my post. Obviosuly you can charge more for seats and the small pit is so exclusive that they even get away with charging outragous prices for standing..

"...So when I looked this guy was trying to film us. I don't care, you can be a journalist, reporter, you can be a fucking bootlegger, man, that shit ain't right. So I jumped on him, went home, and started a riot. That was one of my first experiences knowing where I was. Do you know where you are? Do you know where you are? All I know was when I was here, in the crowd I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A FUCKING JUNGLE BABY! I WAS ABOUT TO DIE!"
