    One more.  This might make it slightly easier to tell who the band is (doubtful), although if the seats weren’t in another galaxy it’s one of the most recognizable bands on Earth.  I’m getting dizzy just looking at these again, but we had killer views of the Bulls and Hawks championship banners at least.

    Well, it's nice to know that the Live Nation CEO's and the like have a grasp of reality (Sarcasm intended), particularly after seeing the Platinum pricing .... Good lord, talk about being out of touch. 

    “It’s a magic moment, maybe twice a year — way cheaper than Disneyland, or the Super Bowl, or the NFL or the NBA playoffs, or an expensive night out. So it’s really cheap overall, considering. This is a great, great product that people will buy, as they’re gonna buy the Gucci bag. They’re gonna buy moments in life where they will step up, and spoil themselves — the big screen TV and or whatever it may be. This is a business where we can charge a bit more. I’m not saying excessively, but it’s a great two-hour performance of a lifetime, that happens once every three, four years in that market. You don’t have to under-price yourself: low- to middle-income [people] will make their way to that arena for that special night.”

     ~ Michael Rapino, CEO Live Nation regarding Platinum pricing. (Emphasis Added.)  

    (I would like to have a showing of hands here of people who believe 800-1200 for a concert is "really cheap overall?")

    Rusty Larue on one of the Bulls banners as the greatest right place, right time guy ever. Dude must just wear the ring everywhere..

    For anyone wondering what the view from the 300s looks like at the UC, here it is.  Bonus points for anyone that can name the band on stage without a 100x zoom…


    At least you are in the building.  NKOTB?
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    Close.  I was more of a Backstreet Boys fan.

    I’ve attended hundreds of events at the UC and had seats almost exclusively in the 300 level. My take is the first five rows are good (if you’re at mid court) to fine (behind the basket). After about row ten it gets to feel pretty far away. That said,, my first PJ show was 1998 at the UC and I was in one of the last rows (so row 20+) at the back of the 300 level. It was one of the great concert experiences I’ve ever had. Granted, it didn’t cost $162/seat. :)

    I won suite tickets for a show once, not realizing they were way at the top of the arena, even above the 300 level. Not the best. I already had 10C seats the night before, so I was just happy to be there. Also, free beer!

    1st request cc declined because it looked like fraud.  Multiple charges to CC.  Tickets today is awful.  They emailed me to request again.  Did that.  Now that request number is invalid.  10 club for 15 years.  This system is now fucked.  
    Emailed the link in the ticket today email for TC.  Will see how they explain where 2nd request went.

    LOL...I wasn't able to either.  If I couldn't hear the music I'd have no idea who or what I was watching.  And that is hard when you have a dude wearing a top hat playing guitar.  Anyone who wants to actually see Pearl Jam on stage, bring binoculars.

    Holy shit. I've been there before but had no idea they had seats with views like that. i was on the 5th row floor when i saw PJ in 2009. Are they charging $160 for that seat?

    Yup.  $162.  And if you can believe it, there are more rows behind where that picture was taken from.  Also $162.

    How do Pit GA Row 1 tickets work? Like are these right up next to stage? Do you have to get in line early to claim these, what about a restroom break? Are you able to slide right back to the front?

    I mean, there's usually a barricade between front row and the stage, for security etc. Pit is first come, first serve. I don't know if you're asking specifically how PJ fans handle this, or in general. You usually will have to camp out at the venue for quite a while to obtain front row for most popular acts.

    My 17 years have me in nosebleeds. It is what it is. I don't anticipate it getting better. I was in the 200s before the reassignment. And here's the thing, if I'm there I don't care. Somehow in 09 (I think) I got nosebleeds in the UC and the next night I was way closer. I'll be glad to see them two nights in a row. I'll be around good people (you people) and we'll enjoy the rafters. 
    No one has their seats yet. So you don't know if your 17 years in have you in nosebleeds or not.

    Piss yourself or lose your spot............. I thought most people up there don't drink, I've never had the desire to camp out, not drink or use the restroom, so not sure all the rules.  To each their own.  I'm sure it is awesome and once in a lifetime experience but for me not worth all the trouble to get there.
    I am lost, I'm no guide, but I'm by your side

    There are no rows in GA. It’s just a large open GA standing room only section that is first come, first served. The sooner you get in line, the closer you’ll be to the stage. If you want rail, you’ll probably have to camp out the night before or get there in the wee hours of the morning. But if you’re fine being further back, you can stroll in right before showtime.

    See above. In Jacksonville I lined up four hours early and got three people back from Ed. Super close! Other shows in more demand you’ll need to get there earlier if you want to be close. If you don’t have a plus one make friends in the line and they’ll hold your spot while you go to the bathroom or make a food run (possibly for your line mates as well!). 

    Hydrate well before, use the restroom before doors open , and then claim a spot inside. Do not run to a spot! Don’t drink inside and you shouldn’t have an issue during the show. I wouldn’t count on getting right back to your spot if you leave. People around you will hold it for you maybe, but it can be hard to get back to it.

    Have fun! It’s like seeing PJ in a club!

    In my experience it depends on how close you want to get and what day of the week it is. Last year for Camden it was on a Wednesday. I got there at 6:15am and was around 15th in line and got rail. It was amazing. For St. Louis, which was on a weekend I got there around 6:30am and was around 39th in line and got 2nd row. Once you establish yourself in line and meet the people around you then you can slip out to grab food or use the restroom or talk to friends in other parts of the line but you can’t leave the area for hours at a time. Once they let GA in you can claim your spot and use the bathroom or get food while it is still relatively empty. People around you should hold your spot. However, once the floor start filling up and certainly during the show you should be prepared to stay where you are the whole time.

    Damn, that’s way earlier than I can ever imagine getting to a show.

    I thought I was crazy for lining up for Radiohead in St Louis (2008) at 10:30am with pit tickets. Was one of no more than 10 people there at that time.

    I was at that Radiohead show.

    Yeah, some people are crazy when it comes to pit. I'll admit, I've camped out on the sidewalk overnight for rail in the past. Hell, that Wrigley 2016 guy was there for like 4-5 days, wasn't he? At this point, rail just isn't worth the hassle to me. I've been front row for all of my favorite bands. Nowadays, I much prefer a comfy reserved aisle seat with plenty of personal space that I can come and go from as I please.

    If after 15+ years of being a member, I get 10C presale tickets up in the 300s, I'll probably skip the presale next time and take my chances w/ F2F. 

    If I don't know that I'm getting at least moderately decent seats for that much money (not to mention all those years of keeping my membership current), it's not worth it for me. 

    If that makes me a snob, then I guess I'm a snob.

    I thought I was crazy for lining up for Radiohead in St Louis (2008) at 10:30am with pit tickets. Was one of no more than 10 people there at that time.
    I was at that Radiohead show.

    Yeah, some people are crazy when it comes to pit. I'll admit, I've camped out on the sidewalk overnight for rail in the past. Hell, that Wrigley 2016 guy was there for like 4-5 days, wasn't he? At this point, rail just isn't worth the hassle to me. I've been front row for all of my favorite bands. Nowadays, I much prefer a comfy reserved aisle seat with plenty of personal space that I can come and go from as I please.
    This is where I'm at. 

    2013 was the last time I dealt w/ a GA crowd to be up on the rail. Having been lucky enough to be front & center for a couple of my favorite acts, I have a 'been there done that" mentality, and would rather be comfortable.

    I won suite tickets for a show once, not realizing they were way at the top of the arena, even above the 300 level. Not the best. I already had 10C seats the night before, so I was just happy to be there. Also, free beer!

    Wow, I've always wondered what the view would be like from that level. At least there's free beer and food. :)

    How do Pit GA Row 1 tickets work? Like are these right up next to stage? Do you have to get in line early to claim these, what about a restroom break? Are you able to slide right back to the front? 
    Piss yourself or lose your spot............. I thought most people up there don't drink, I've never had the desire to camp out, not drink or use the restroom, so not sure all the rules.  To each their own.  I'm sure it is awesome and once in a lifetime experience but for me not worth all the trouble to get there.
    I have GA tix for STP N1. Back in the day I may have waited in line to secure a better spot, but I'll just be happy to be there on the floor and not worry about what I have to drink. I'll probably walk in there slightly early but not going to stress about pushing and shoving myself up close. My wife is on the shorter side, though, so it may be hard for her to see anything. She's 5'2. I want her to have a great experience. Will she see ok? any suggestions? She also has a small bladder, lol, so waiting in line for hours, etc. is probably out of the question...haha. Anyway, we'll have a blast, I'm sure!
