    Just seems surprising that they would go on tour these days for 9 shows. 

    Home/Away was seven shows.
    seven stadium shows. Average 60K people per show. Nine arenas average what, 12K a night. HUGE difference between the two tours. 
    Definitely a difference, but United Center is over 20,000

    So looks like GA only not an option. Looks like GA and reserved seating one option  and option 2 is just seating. 

    Why would anyone select just seating? Those who just dont want to stand? 


    My wife is short............GA sucks for her.
    My wife is short, but after doing GA she prefers that now
    Just watch out for the drunkees that show up 10 minutes into the show and think they can muscle their way through to the front barreling through people that showed up two hours early just to secure their spot

    Is there a way to see the the percentages for each show like previous tours?

    I have a question? Those who are requesting Chicago tickets, are any of you going to request rear/side view as a last option or are you taking chances on GA/Reserved request only? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Its not about not wanting to stand. Its about wanting your own space and not fight the crowd. I've done GA and loved it. But with a good seat it was much more relaxing for me. No one pushing up agains you for 2.5 hours so they can be 6 inches closer to the stage. No one pretending they just took a bathroom break and returning to their spot up front. GA can be kind of a mess sometimes.

    I would much rather have assigned seating in the pit, versus a GA situation.  I dont mind a GA pit on some occasions....but being able to have my "spot" and also sit when needed is great.

    question, plan was both my wife and I, separate accounts, would both put in for GA in Dallas night 2. If we both got picked for GA we would sell one F2F. Now with no GA only, should we both enter the lottery hoping for one of us to get GA? Logic is since I have better seniority number than her, and if I miss GA with my pick then no way she would get GA then with a higher number? Just want to avoid getting two sets of reserved as we wouldn't go at all at that point.

    Yeah. Xcel is ~15k in the configuration they're showing for this show. 
    they're going to sell the behind the stage seats I'm sure in the ticketmaster sale. But it's not a large arena, right? 
    Have you, or others, been there for concerts before? How is it?

    Quick question from a newbie. Looking to get 3 tickets to bring my parents to St.Paul Shows. Would it be best to shoot for 2 in 10C lotto and then pick up third in F2F (of course tough to get a seat close to the other two seats), or just hold for F2F and try to grab 3 together?

    I don't think seniority has any impact on getting GA only where you sit if you get reserved.
