    I will be right there with you :D

    Front row on lower balcony would be only 13 rows from stage as it overhangs orchestra at row M :)

    Small venue, i am in so that is all that matters!
    i think we were WAY too late for front row, but hey, we're in :D

    If anyone needs to unload an extra, please PM me. I totally dropped the ball on this, and am desperate.

    FANTASTIC, ain't it? ;)
    also what really prompted me to go for the extra $100 for that section. seemed most were going for the upper balcony/$250 seats....i did call wednesday 12:30PM....so thought if i went with lower, give me a FAR better shot at the only 'front row' i'd have a chance of getting. :D


    however, at 5 rows deep.....at the beacon.....it's ALL good! gonna be GREAT!






    btw - i am glad you and all your clan got your tix. :) seeya there!
    we definitely need a post party. we'll have to find something close to the beacon....any suggestions anyone, do please share!
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    Several comments / observations here:

    1. I think Lucy deserves major kudos too! FYI: When i spoke to her yesterday I advised her that she was now a "legend" in pj circles. In response, she gave me a nervous laugh and in turn I quickly gave her my CC digits b4 i scared her away.

    2. I got the $350 seats, which from all of the feedback seems to be lower balcony??? Now, I have not been to the beacon before but I have been studying both pictures and seating charts and it seems to be only 3 levels. (ticketmaster chart v. detailed seating chart) So, I am confused as to where the lower balcony is - (a) on the second tier in back of the lodge or (b) on the upper tier, in front of the upper balcony. (as i think we can rule out on the floor) Mind you, I am just SOOOOOO thankful to be in, it really does not matter! Whats u peeps think?

    3. Honestly, are you all dressing a bit better than MSG shows?

    1. I haven't even talked to her and I love her :D

    2. from what I worked out from the photo and map, it's (b).
    if you look at the fine print at the bottom of the detailed chart (see a few posts up), it says the Lodge, 1 level up, overhanging row O of the orchestra and the lower/upper balcony, 2 levels up, overhanging row M...fits with the photos and the rows numbering... and so both in term of view and acoustics (having a level overhanging above your head is never good for the sound), I think the lower balcony is the winner of the 'cheaper' prices

    3. not me..

    I've been to The Beacon a few times, and believe me, just about every seat in the place is great! Should be a magical night!!!

    I do not agree with that. The upper is really an upper balcony and being under the loge in the orch can be annoying due to the background noise

    that I agree with
