I got tickets in section 221, which is the opposite corner of the venue, but I also got tickets in section 1, which is behind the stage. For those that have sat behind the stage before, what has it been like? Sound, atmosphere? We're thinking of trying it since we already have 10C tickets for night 2, just curious some opinions on it.

    Behind the stage is some of the best tickets in the house! Some of my favorite memories are from there, and they turn around a play a song or two in that direction! So then you do have the best seats in the house!

    I hear ya, I scored section 205 for night 1, which is riding the side stage/behind the stage line. I'm not sure I'll see anything since it's at a diagonal, but I'm in the building!

    It depends on the venue. I sat behind the stage for London earlier this month and it was awesome, but in part because the venue is tiny and they were RIGHTBEHIND the stage.

    I got behind the stage for Brooklyn 2 as well, though in the upper bowl. Better than nothing!

    Behind the stage is so much fun. Was behind the stage at MSG in 2010, most fun I've had at a PJ show. You're right above the stage, so you can see the band very well. Plus, you have a view of the entire crowd the whole night. It's a really great experience.
    All we know is there is a letter, a porch, people who don't wave, and something about a box or a bag.

    I have section 202...it was originally grayed out, but I guess they decided to release them. Problem is they may be completely obstructed where you can't even see the stage. I don't think they sell those tix for hockey games, so I'm a little concerned.

    I think it'll be a good view.
