Ashlar Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 i was at the 12th and it wasn't very rough and i was front row. keep your floor tickets and just stand behind her. all the pushing was from behind. im a fairly tall guy and they weren't able to move me much so you should be good.

JennaSide Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 (edited) I guess it depends on where you were on Friday. I'm not a big girl, either and honestly, I thought I was going to break some ribs... it was INSANE for the first couple songs where I was standing. If you want to see the show in peace, yeah - trade. If you want to miss the first couple songs fighting for your life, stay on the floor! I mean, I made it and everything... this was certainly not the first concert I've been to - I knew what I was getting myself into by being so close and I can hold my own in a pit, but I was still surprised how violent it got at the beginning. I have massive bruises on my back... worth it, but yeah... you've been warned Edited May 14, 2006 by JennaSide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicklet Posted May 14, 2006 Author Share Posted May 14, 2006 were you in the front-center? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashlar Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 whoops, thought you said you would have a guy with ya. i would trade off just to be safe. even where i was got pretty shovey. there were 2 disabled people up front of where i was so that helped tame it.

Negleyjj Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I was 2 people back, center stage, and durring the first 3 songs, and even into Better it was really rough. After that it calmed down and it was all good, but those first 3 songs I was really surprised how violent it was. However my mom stayed in the middle-back of the floor and had no problems. You could probably sneak up to the front after it calms a few songs, but really the Mezz looked like fine seats to me... And you don't have to stand outside for hours and then get inside to stand for another 6 hours... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboSupra Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 It is my understanding that a mezz ticket will still give you access to the floor, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F*ck Fear Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 If I was a petite girl I would still be front row. It's the best spot in the house really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kannon21 Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Some guy standing next to me 1-2 meters from the stage had his ticket for Mezz2 Kannon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnr-dave Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 No but Mezz is better than the floor. The floor sucks, trust me, you would have a better time in the mezz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downzy Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 No but Mezz is better than the floor. The floor sucks, trust me, you would have a better time in the mezz.I've got a quesiton about Mezz (particularly, Mezz 2)...I've got Mezz 2 tickets for the 17th. I'm curious as to whether you need to be in the first two rows to see anything. I'm driving in from Toronto with someone who's never been to New York, and we were hoping to look around the city and have a nice dinner before going to the show. If we get there by 10:00 or so, do you think we'll still be able to see the stage from Mezz 2? Anyone with Mezz 2 tickets, please let me know.Much appreciated...Cheers,Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollyw00d81 Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 First, yes if you have Mezz tickets you can go right to the floor, it's only the other way around that doesn't work. They check your tickets at the stairs to make sure you belong in the mezzanine.Second, I had floor seats but I could tell no matter where you sat in the Mezz you could see the show, it's stadium seating after all. Just try to get there early to line up so you make sure you have a good seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seventrainkevin Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 The only thing about the 2nd MEZZ that is a problem is that there are support poles that block the view of the stage from some of the seats. Since it's general admission in each level, if you are planning to get there late, you might end up in seats that have an obstructed view.

stella Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I'm also a petite girl. I was in the Mezz 1 on Friday and eternally grateful that I was. I'd recommend trading. The mezz is a lot safer and you'll be able to see the show much better. If you do decide to tackle the mosh pit, try to find something--like a railing--and hang on. I don't know if this is the standard mosh pit etiquette but it's the only way I kept from getting crushed and swept away when I saw GnR years ago. I hooked my hands around the 'fence' at the front of the pit and hung on for dear life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
