Is trading seats acceptable at the show?

I'm going to the Va Beach show and if we are on the floor towards the back, my short wife won't be happy. This would be a seat trade with no $ or favors attached.

    I'm sure this is fine. If you can find a willing couple.

    I did this @ Chicago in 03 I think... no problem and they were insanely thrilled to be on the floor and my wife was thrilled to be up a bit where she could see.

    As long as you're not trying to sell the spots no one will care - not a problem at all. It's got Boom's seal of approval!

    once you pick up your tickets, how are they gonna stop you doing from whatever you want with them? trade away, get that wife a good view. i may run into some problems with my short girlfriend too....hoping for the sides and not back of the floor. we can always hope for the lottery too.

    Beer Baron has a good point. I'll be at the show, and I've been to the VA Beach Amphitheater many times. If you have ORCH seats (the flat floor up front), they give you a wristband BEFORE you enter the orchestra section but after you enter the venue. You wouldn't be able to trade after this point. If you have any seats in the 101, 102, 103 sections, you'll be fine.

    I hope this helps!

    great name, especially coming from MN.
    I have swapped seats, with my number I often end up about 10-20 rows back at the more popular shows, being 5'4, I can't see shit, why not let someone see the show from up close and I can chill out in the wings.

    Actually the band promotes the concert as one giant game of musical chairs. :D

    I am confident that your seats will be acceptable. If the Verizon Amp is like other outdoor venues, there will be a gradual rise from front to back. In addition, I think all of the 10C seats will be more than excellent.

    Just me 2 cents.
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    Do you have to stay inside once you get your tickets?

    I am getting so excited about the show, according to Touringfans, Va Beach has the least amount of 10c members attending, maybe that will get me closer to the stage.

    They come by and chain you to the seat until the band has left the building. :D

    If you guys can leave the venue then the wristbands can't be that big of a problem can they? They're paper...not steel welded onto your wrist.

    They save the steel ones for the Rage Against the Machine shows. :)

    We should probably also "not" tell them about the piss bucket that they issue each person when they enter. :) (Sarcasm is my middle name. My last name is usually douchebag.)

    I never said that wouldn't be sweet.


    But like I said, if the venue allows you to go back outside (been to shows that do...been to shows that don't) just keep a pair of scissors and tape in your car, get your trade buddy and you're set. Unless I'm not thinking about something...

    Good tip. I'm just being a super asshole today. Don't mind me I was drinking at lunch.

    Dude...have you looked at the seating chart?

    You do realize this is an amphitheater? Yes?

    The furthest back you will be in the orchestra is like 13 rows...It only goes to N in the center...and even less on the sides...

    In 2000 I was section 102 row A with a 161xxx #.

    I wouldn't get too crazy with this....13th row is pretty close...even for a pretty short person...

    No, but some people around here are pretty sensitive and I have no idea who gets offended by what. (Not that I usually care, the beer is making me generous:) )

    Thanks, threads like this make me really sarcastic. Some of the things on here are just not a big enough deal to start a whole discussion about. This was one of those, I thought. Especially when they go on forever.

    That's why they added "stops" to Corduroy and Insignificance. When the music stops, everybody switch seats!
