pretty much all of the rock shows that i know of or have attended over the last year or so at The Spectrum have been GA on the floor... most PJ europe shows are GA on the floor and they let 10c in early to get up front... in london this year the venue did not allow the early 10c entrance so they offered you the choice of either floor seats or wing seats

i am not sure which i would take, probabaly wing seats to be honest.

i am really interested to see if the floor will be GA or seated?

    I hope it's seated. Not a fan of GA! With all the pushing & shoving (and you know, there will be pushing & shoving), to enjoy Pearl Jam, you wanna have a good time & not let other's ruin your fun around you @ a show.

    Though I would much rather be on the side stage with the tech crew checking things out with the band! :mrgreen:

    i assume PJ negotiated for seated floor...

    but neil young, kings of leon, and the foo foghters were all GA floor within the last year, and i think most rock shows have been recently

    i agree with you on the ga d... its bad enough with seats, all the pushing, shoving, people sneaking into your rows/seats, drunk people peeing in cups... :x

    so ga is much much worse
    it's largely due to eddie that i liked to jump off of things as a child...

    both springsteen shows in april were GA on floor as well. I don't think it will matter much, the Spectrum is a GREAT concert venue.

    For safety reasons, maybe it will be seated. Seeing as there may be some drinking going on before the shows.

    GA throws out all seniority.. and honestly eliminates having to buy 10c tickets tommorow

    doesnt really matter to me, just wondering how this will work since nobody has mentioned it

    And most of those bands don't have drunken fratheads who push there way to the front and not respect peoples space like pj has. You would get way to many people joining the 10c for the hell of it just to be at a ga concert.

    If these shows are GA, I'd be glad to take someone's extras off their hands - GA would make sure I would HAVE to be there.
