    Behind the stage is absolutely still a great experience. I sat behind Hartford 2013 and I was nervous about it as well but the sound was great and you get a unique view. Get them if you can you won’t regret it 
    Me too....great time...wouldnt want it to be my first, but after many i would certainly do it again

    I think behind the stage can be great and interesting.   Your much closer to the band than if you were at the back of the venue.

    On the flip side if you sit at the wrong height your view can be obscured.   I loathed my Seattle 2013 tickets:


    Ugh, this image has me worried about my seats for Oakland night 1. I'm in the upper section behind the stage just as it looks like you were. Hopefully it won't seem this high up when I get to my seats as I was able to get seats in row 6 which is the second row in section 224.

    Behind the stage in Pitt 2013. We had a blast - great view - Mike turned around constantly and pointed to us multiple times. I would definitely sit there rather than miss the show. You have an up close view of what is happening on stage.






    Great pics and accurate view if you are 1st 10 rows behind stage.

    Mike n Jeff play sideways to each other alot which has a great view from behind, but Ed at front stage center can be hard to spot within  a background of fans....with the lights down and a dark shirt.

    True, those pix were shot at the end of the show. Here is a pic with house lights off - Ed wearing a green jacket, Stone over to the side in a black tshirt..

    Msg 98 behind the stage. Was about 15-20 rows up. It was worth it but not sure I’d do it again. Sound was good, view was decent

    I enjoy behind the stage, prefer it to seats on the other side of the arena. The sound is good

    Those pics are sick. I won’t find out this tour though. Scored good seats for Sunday and back of arena balcony for Sat. Both Oakland shows. Always checking to upgrade but happy with our seats. Can’t wait for the shows!!!
    Peace,Love and Pearl Jam.

    The worst seats,are the ones outside the venue.

    To me, if I'm not within 30-40ft of the stage, it's all the same through the rest of the building.  Being up close is amazing, but once you are far enough back that you can't see facial expressions and chord fingerings clearly, then you might as well be anywhere.  You'll be looking at screens often and you'll be taking in the experience at large anyways.
    There's also the fact that when you are in the back or up in the 'bleeds, you have a MUCH better perspective of the light show.
    Ultimately, up close is an irreplaceable experience, but so is getting in the building at all.
