Will the Spectrum be General Admission

edited July 2009 in The Porch
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.

    its rock concert...if u wanna seat...stay home... :mrgreen:

    um, where did i say i wanted a seat? i really dont care either way but it could affect some of my shorter friends :D

    just pointing out something that has not been mentioned, thats all

    and for the record, large place like that i prefer seats, because i am not standing in line with 5000 fucking manaics that would sit in a line for 20 hours to be 3 inches closer to the stage... i asked security at the vic what time the fiorst guy arrived and he said 5am... that to me is insane, and i dont feel like battling those fucking people to get a decent seat, i prefer drinking in the parking lot :lol:

    well..there aren't too many people who i couldn't shove out of my way on the way to the front of the stage..so GA would be ok :mrgreen::mrgreen:

    but...when people step on my Air-Jordans, i get very hostile..so maybe GA isn't ok :mrgreen::mrgreen:

    ...oh..and if you're smart..you light up 2 joints..one for the head(good stuff) and one to pass around(ok stuff). :lol:
