    Man, if I had the money for plane tickets, a hotel and concert tickets I would. $1,000+ is a chunk of change when you're an unemployed student.

    i'll be there. general admission pit!!! :D

    i'm praying that i get close seats. cannot fucking wait - so pumped. i saw him in cleveland on the vote for change tour, but there was a lot of non-bruce material in his set (star spangled banner, people have the power, what's so funny..., a john fogerty stint, etc.) that - while it was a truthfully amazing experience - it left me wanting more bruce...and now i'll get it.

    i'm really hoping for thunder road and dancing in the dark - just classics that i feel like i should hear at a bruce concert (that they didn't play last time).

    i would LOVE darkness on the edge of town. and i'm excited that there's a good chance for night. and i'd love no surrender.

    ahhhh i cannot wait. the only other concert i've been more excited for is pearl jam. :)

    I hope theres either a show in Seattle, Tacoma or Portland or that theres some show I can go to during my Spring break (sadly it looks like he may be in Canada during that week which would suck monkey balls because I have no passport and might not be able to get one in time).

    bruce doesnt like cameras going off, hence- the special camera security.

    Usually they dwell arouynd the crowd and go after people snapping away.\

    proceed with caution- dont give up the memory chip !

    actually the system is pretty much the same, but depends on the venue:

    this is from backstreets/ btx :

    Pittsburgh GA Pit Procedure



    http://www.mellonarena.com/event/evt_detail.asp?id=497

    GA FLOOR PROCEDURES

    On the day of the show,Wednesday November 14th, sequentially numbered wristbands will be distributed beginning at 2:00 PM outside GATE ONE. Wristbands will be distributed until 5:00 PM.

    A starting number will be randomly picked at 5:15 PM; this will be announced and displayed on a placard at the gate. The starting number will be drawn randomly by a fan. The fan holding the wristband that matches the starting number drawn will be first in line (i.e. if #'s 1 - 100 were issued and number 10 was drawn, the line would start with 10, then 11, 12, 13 through 100 then 1-9). When the starting number is announced, the line will shift accordingly. No more wristbands will be distributed after 5:00 PM

    At 5:30 PM All fans with GA tickets and a wristband should begin lining-up in numerical order, beginning with the announced number. The purpose of the random number distribution is to insure that all fans have the same chance of being first in line, eliminating the need to camp out. This policy also helps to insure customer safety and provides for an effective means of crowd control. The line will be escorted into the GA Pit Area in front of the stage approximately 10 minutes before the rest of the patrons are allowed to enter the venue.

    One wristband per patron and the patron must also be in possession of a GA ticket.

    A wristband and a GA ticket are required to enter the GA Pit Area in front of the stage.

    Anyone who receives a numbered wristband between 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM has a chance to be first in line to enter the Pit Area, but a wristband does not guarantee a place in the Pit Area

    Wristbands will be issued and affixed to the patron’s wrist only after the patron's ticket has been verified a GA ticket.

    NO WRISTBANDS WILL BE ISSUED AT THE GA PIT ENTRANCE ON THE FLOOR WITHIN THE VENUE.

    PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT NO PATRON, FAN, OR CLUB RUN LIST WILL BE HONORED BY TOUR PERSONNEL, SECURITY OR BUILDING PERSONNEL!

    The above procedures will be implemented and supervised by touring personnel.

    >NO CAMERAS WILL BE PERMITTED INTO THE ARENA FOR THIS EVENT


    best of luck in the pit lottery kids !

    You know how sometimes your kitchen faucet is fucked up and you wake up to the sound of a drop of water plopping on a pan or something and its just irritating enough to piss you off but you're still too lazy to get up and mess with it? Yeah, thats what this is like.

    holy shit - i should have checked this board before i left. you were like...10 feet behind me. i was pointing out to my friends that i wanted your shirt...haha. i was the kid in the riot act shirt...that was probably staring at you - thinking of saying something, not it a perverted way or anything.

    what a fucking show...that was amazing. i have never seen energy like that at a show...ever. bruce controlled the crowd by the move of a finger, and never let once ounce of energy leave that arena. he had me going from start to finish.

    it also helped that we got amazing position for the general admission...second row (behind the camera fence, would have been about 5th row if that wasn't there.)
