k12 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I am deciding between a pit ticket, and a Ticket in the 5th row in section C, I have been in the pit before and it is good, but I am thinking of maybe getting a good floor seat, though I am afraid I am going to regret it Start new topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tourettes2400 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I like pit. I am having the same problem for the Nashville show. General onsale is tomorrow and I am getting nervous. I had every presale code and card and never saw a pit ticket all week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcon Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 By myself I prefer pit and get there early to make a break for the inner elbow rail position of catwalk/stage. If with buddies I think I actually prefer seats and a more leisurely arrival / evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Nova Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I was on the floor Vegas night 1 and Orlando show last year....and then in the pit Vegas night 2. Sooooo much closer in the pit....and you're going to be standing the entire time anyway....even if you want space, you would actually have more space around you just standing in the back of the pit AND you would still be closer than anywhere on the floor. Pit all the way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pit all the way. I was in Chicago last year and it wasn't that case as they packed everyone in like a sardine and there was very little room to move even in the back (unless you went off to the side), that is why I am leaning towards the seat mainly because of the room especially since this is an aisle seat, though I know the experience in the pit is probably better being surrounded by GNR die hards, ehh decisions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ak1nney Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I know this isn't really the thread for it, but for the better of clogging up the board more... Will they have the big screens at these 20,000 seat indoor shows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes...they did in Vegas. you are right, I know you get spoiled, I have just had bad experiences in the pit as well, mainly because I am standing behind someone who is 5 inches taller than me and you are stuck in the pit and can't move and you do not want to give up your spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigpoop Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Best place to be is on side, slightly above the floor. On this chart I'd go as low as I could get in V2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostOfPride Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 It seems like the pits will be much smaller for the upcoming Arena shows. if that's the case, floor seats in the first few rows should be great as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

life_247 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I always prefer standing and the sound is usually better too - it can echo horribly in stadiums around the stands. Although how tall are you? I'm about 6 foot and I could not see anything at the london gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracii Guns Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Love being in the pit for smaller gigs, but the combination of either having to pick your spot and stay there all night, or risk losing it should you want a drink/to urinate is annoying. I'm too old for that nonsense. A good night with a seat of your own is far better than a bad night in the pit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I'm pitting it on Sunday. Hanging in back/side so I have elbow room and can make a beer run easier etc... As far as reserved seats, I only go aisle, can't stand being in the middle of some section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as reserved seats, I only go aisle, can't stand being in the middle of some section. and this as well, it is aisle or bust for me on a reserve seat especially if it is a band I am really into, to many bad experiences being crammed into a small spot with someone 6 inches taller than me in front of me and 100 pounds heavier to the sides of me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
