Am I insane?

I'm trying to hold out for a GA to both LA1 and LA2. Do I need cold water splashed on my face? Am I living in fantasyland?
Will some become available as the shows grow closer? Does this happen? I know good seats are often dropped on ticketmaster the morning of a show. I've pulled that off before. But would GA tickets be among those dropped at the last moment?
Any guidance would be appreciated. I'm staying at TownePlace Suites south of LAX and have a rental car and don't mind picking a couple fans up in the area for the show. We can split the parking fee.

Thanks for any help you can offer!
Chris

    I would look into other seating options.  I have been watching the LA shows for GA for 2 weeks now and have only seen GA pop up once.  LA GA tickets are showing up much less than the other May shows.

    There's a *chance* there will be a ticket drop a day or so before the shows but yeah, I'd look at other options.

    I scored a GA for LA1 yesterday night. I saw them up there yesterday at 3 different times throughout the day; I got lucky on the third try. Keep checking

    To be the type who wants to stand for 5-6 hours or more to see the band you have to be a little nuts, myself included
