    I really like beside the stage tickets... (And always find it odd they only get sold if the rest of the arena sells out).

    This will be my first show behind the stage. It'll be cool to be close, but how cool is it to only see their backs the whole time?

    first time I ever scalped tix was msg n2 2010. I had ten club on the floor n1 but got shut out n2. I wasn't gonna go until my reaction after night 1. gotta seat behind the stage an hour before the show. the black keys killed it as an opener. the. black. keys. it's def an interesting POV but everyone's right. if you're sentimental about this band then you can really appreciate watching the crowd's excitement face-to-face.

    then Hunger Strike happened

    BOOM.

    Thanks for posting this, I will try to get these tix if a second Seattle show is announced. I wish I'd read this post before the tickets went online though, I got nosebleeds for Pittsburgh and Buffalo and I opted out when I was offered seats behind the stage :cry:

    They're better than nothing! Seeing a show from the side of the stage is better than not seeing it at all!

    Glad to hear all the positives. Got 202 in Dallas, they are normally club (basketball) seats so they are padded and the section is super small. High enough to see over the equipment too. Glad to be in the building and I have GA for OKC so I'll go from pauper to prince!

    I had behind stage at MSG II 2010 and I really enjoyed it! It's also cool to see the crowd from that perspective. Now, it wasn't my first show or anything, and I probably would have had a different opinion if it was.

    for san diego 06, i had upper level side stage and was eyeballin the behind the stage seats for a bit. near end of show went down to that section and was very surprised of 3 things;

    1. sound was better
    2. vantage point was not so bad
    3. proximity to the boys was 3x better

    honestly, i will never pay for upper levels again if there are lower level behind stage tix available. :fp:

    fuck that stigma, it's not like pj is maiden w/castles, pyramids and shit. (and i love maiden)!
