How does the Moody Center compare to something like MSG?
Much smaller. From what u can tell, Moody holds ~10K for a basketball game and ~15K for a concert with GA. MSG had announced sell-out crowds of 19,812 for each of this past weekend’s Knicks games. Moody boasts about having an abnormally large GA capacity, and I’m not positive what the Garden’s concert capacity is exactly, but it’s definitely well north of 20K (with the rear-stage seats sold).
However, they are basically the same shape. I’m in the 200’s for both Austin shows, and I was in the 200’s for last year’s MSG show. Very similar results for me.
They are getting more club seats for these shows starting with the cancelled 2020 tour. It means that club tickets are no longer guaranteed to be great seats, but there’s more of us in there.
Thanks for the info - the more Ten Club folks in the crowd the more energy that can create. Looking forward to these shows :-)

I thought it was just me who was thinking this. I got very nice seats for FW1 with my #6 pick and was thinking I should be scoring some great tickets for Austin. AUS2 I am S206 RowN. This is almost the last row side stage to the point where I am confused how they are not marking these as limited view? AUS1 I have a very mediocre 208 pair. I had the same thing last time where I got great seats to Vegas as pick #5 when other people were totally shut out.
By the rules explained to us, the demand for FW1 is close to 0 because I won the lottery with pick #6 and got great seats. The shows in Austin must be off the charts demand wise (or there are very few tickets). But why would Mon-Tues in Austin have insane demand over shows near Dallas? No idea.
I will just drop them on F2F and get something better, so all is fine. Just seems like a waste of time and energy. I have no idea what my membership number is, but it has been about 15 years.
I went with Austin over FW as there was no off day between the shows; one less hotel night to pay for
I went with similar logic, but also, coming off a long weekend for Austin (M, Tue) instead of arriving mid week for Ft Worth.
number 58,xxx and only got my second priority, austin 2. seats are section 212 row A. I am pretty upset and frustrated, not only with the clearly not seniority based seats, but also the fact that I got nothing for night 1. I live in NYC (shut out from msg last year), and I'm not flying to texas for one night. After 29 years, I'm pretty disillusioned with all of this...
Agree, it appears seniority played very little role in seat assignment. 197xxx and I have Floor 7 and 109. There is no way everyone in 106,107,108, 120, 119, 118 all have lower numbers even after you subtract 10% for the premium seats. Just look at posts in this thread, 73xxx got 106 and 57xxx got 109. How did 73xxx get a lot better seats than 57xxxx??? Even my 109 seats are better the 57xxx posters seats. I bought tix and plan to travel from Michigan with the understanding seating is based on seniority as they explained in presale info. I totally get it that I could have not won the lottery, but once I did, I expect them to honor the seniority seating. Evidence shows this wasn't done. Clearly they fucked up and need to reassign the seats just like Chicago.

Having been to the moody for several shows in the past year or whatever it’s been since it opened- and it’s my opinion so others can throw in theirs- is that it’s really not the best venue for music. Bummer, since they had an opportunity to work on the sound since it’s so new. It’s not huge but for a space that seats only 15k, it certainly sounds like echoey trash unfortunately, especially on the floor and if you’re high up on the sides in the lower level. We’ve never been in the 200’s/upper level though- maybe it sounds better though? For dmb we actually had to leave because where we were on the corner you couldn’t make out Dave’s lyrics it was so muddy. We tried to move around but at least in the 100’s it was horrible. For Roger waters we were the first row above the floor, but the stage was in the round so not really comparable, but it was still echoey, you’d hear the snare and kick drum drums echo back at you, making the whole thing kinda a mess. Im really hoping I’m not let down again, but I’m not extremely excited about this place as a venue for music.
Well this bums me out. I got 215 so hopefully it isn’t terrible up there. I had your DMB experience at the PJ show in St Louis last year. The echo was terrible and it just completely ruins the show. I’ve never sat down so much for a PJ show but our whole row was out of it because the sound was so bad.

It certainly appears that some people got screwed with seat assignments. That along with the night 1 double assignments would seem to me that they should just redraw all 9 shows.

This might be the worst I have seen for Austin so far.
definitely the worst seats I’ve had in 25+ years. I’m guessing all the good seats we use to get are now designated “platinum” by Ticketmaster
We are almost twins. 166xxx 12th row both nights but in different floor sections. Emails were 1 minute apart between the 2 nights. I feel liker there are 4ish rows of platinum tix at least in austin floor sections up front. Wonderful crowd to have in front of 25 year fanclubbers, idiots with $1200 per ticket money and just-purchased alive tshirts

This just keeps happening to me. Haven't gotten MSG in years and that's where I live, and then getting just a night here or there. I just don't get it. All these other people who have recently joined are getting both nights and better seats. I mean I just have repeated bad luck after all of these years?

26xxx, got 113/Q and 114/S for Austin. I have one of the better 10C numbers -- these are the best seats 10C has? Seniority seems fairly meaningless these days despite 10C saying it still matters.
This is a continuation of the trend from last year when Camden were far and away the worst 10C seats I've ever had. Vegas seats were also terrible. Only Denver show had seats in line with past tours.
It's like that for most places.. Normally I would want better seats, but, Moody and Dickies aren't that big of a place. Seats will be good to awesome wherever you are in my opinion. Just how it shaked out this time around. Check out some images of those places, making it in the building before the public sale is a winner IMO.
This. All day long. I've never been to the venue (upcoming shows will be first time) but I'm happy to have tickets and be in the building. For those curious - N1 Sec 115, N2 Sec 111. 10C number 420XXX.
