so i searched single tickets night two, first it gave me 1 ticket section 68 behind stage row J.

i know its really close but something about being behind the stage, i didnt like very much so i through it away. then i got bunch of 300s kept throwing them back, finaly got section 205 row A. so i bought that

does anyone think behind stage 68 would be better than section 205?????? 205 is right in middle of building first row

i know eddie turns around to sing and stuff, anyone sat behind stage before? i sat on side stage before it was great, but never completely behind the stage. im hoping my 205 ticket is better view than 68 would of been???????????/

    who here been to msg before ever sat behind stage in section 68, if so how was the view???? does it kind of suck being behind stage like that??????? it would of been real close 10 rows up, but something about not seeing the band faces, and seeing mike solos, and only his back made me throw the ticket back , and i settled for 205 instead. kind of mad i didnt buy section 68 ticket now though, could of sold the extra or did a trade for night 1 i guess

    ya i didnt buy the behind stage section 68 row J. i threw it back, and settled for 205 row A. its almost like first deck im in first row

    i just didnt know how it be behind the stage that why i didnt take section 68, but curious to hear about people who been behind stage before if they like it and its fine, or if sound is a bit off and it a little weird to not see bands faces and solos etc?????

    if it was side stage i woulda taken it, but like section 69 is right side stage, but 68 was behind

    I think they're better. I've got Section 67 for the 20th & I'm thrilled. I've sat behind the stage many times,never a bad experience. You're close,see things going on most won't. I'd much rather be there than all the way back !

    would love to be behind the stage in lower levels. I don't need to have the band facing me, but being close like that is cool. I like to see all the inner workings of a show, stuff you can't normally see happening between songs in the dark from regular seats.

    ummm....i would have DEFINITELY kept the 68!

    some of my favorite shows have been viewed from behind the stage. its a great perspective. you get to see what the band sees.

    I AM sitting in the lower sections. Night one: Section 66 row M. Night two: 69 row L. To every one that bought tickets during either the 10C Sale or Pre-Sale and mocked those of us unable to get tickets....suck it. :o

    see i would of bought it if i was 69, 69 looks more like side of stage. 68 was directly behind stage. that the ticket it gave me too within 3 mins of stuff onsale, i threw it back figuring id get 100 somewhere easy, but the bet it gave me after was 205 row A, which looks pretty fuckin sweet right in middle of venue first row 2nd deck

    but i know now i should of bought section 68 too even though it behind stage, but im probably going to the show alone so i didnt want an extra to have to worry about selling and getting rid of, and i thought doing single tickets, it be alot easier to find 100 level, but it wasnt. im lucky i got 205.

    was worried a little about sound behind stage too, that why i didnt get it, people who been behind stage before the sound is fine???

    that what i wonder too, for anyone sat behind stage here before, especialy at MSG ever? how was the sound????? id really like to know. still not sure if i rather have section 68 seats now, or the one i got in 205 row A. i think its a tossup??????? i would of been closer with section 68 seat.

    anyone hereb een to msg behind stage before? the sound was fine and how did you like it. if you been behind stage please post and let me and others know , for future dates. i wont be as picky next time. if behind the stage 10 rows up is really good. the thing i know i might miss out on now, is catching a tamborine or somethin like that, cause no way its getting into the 200 level lool

    I was wondering something similar myself, my tickets aren't great but I'm just psyched to be going...

    I got 328 for night 2, kinda at the very corner behind the stage. Hoping the view isn't too obscured :-)

    I have sat behind the stage at MSG many times, for different bands like GNR and Metallica and Sting...the sound is good back there. Its an arena and they got good acoustics so there really is no bad seat in the house, as far as sound goes. I have never had a problem not hearing the band and fully enjoying the show. However, I personally prefer to watch the band from the front rather than the back. I'd rather sit in the 400s in front of the stage, than anywhere behind the stage. But thats personal preference. You do get to see some stuff others don't, which is pretty cool. The Garden is awesome and PJ loves playing there, so no matter what, you are in for a amazing show!! Enjoy! :)

    picked up a pair two rows in front of you for night 2 this a.m... i was in immediately at 9a.m. and went for loge... waited a good 5 minutes in the queue and had my conf email 2 mins later. sect. 69 is more side stage, and we have the aisle seats... should be a good view.

    I never been to MSG, but for the Philly night 4 show I was behind the stage. It was ok. Kinda different. I did feel out of the loop, but the pics were pretty cool and just being there was worth it.
