my streak of getting amazing seats despite not being a 10c member continues!
it started at Philly 05, where I was about 15 rows off back end of stage.
continued here and there at various shows, but last night was my greatest accomplishment.
i took full advantage of lackluster MSG ushers/security, and found my self comfortably in section 61, 5 rows off of the back/side stage (stage right if looking at stage) directly over the tunnel where the band entered/exited.
the sound was amazing, and anybody sitting in the lower bowl will tell you....the arena was literally rocking up and down. there were times where i simply stood still and soaked up the magic.
amazing show many highlights

I hate dudes who squat in others peoples seats. Happy you got away with it, but it is pretty annoying. Maybe I am reading your post wrong and that isn't how you ended up there, but it sucks. Also sucks when a bunch of people try and cram into your row.

That's how I read it as well. I really don't mind too much the people who
can find an empty seat and lay claim to it, all the more power to them
for that.
What I can't stand is the low lifes that cram into your space when there
is clearly no room.
I paid for my seat - all the seats in my row, behind me and in front of me
are occupied so what gives you the right to think you can drag your
pretentious ass down to where I am and get so close to me that i can
smell your breath, which usually has the stench of cheap alcohol on it.

yes i took advantage of the situation. especially the ushers/security who were just not doing there job. i breezed through the entrance to the lower concourse without anybody even looking at my ticket.
it wasnt my plan all along, but once i got into the concourse with ease i tried to push my luck. it just so happens there were also no ushers in the section where i chose to sit.

What sucks is (as was stated) when people cram a bunch of people into one or 2 seats. For one of the VFC shows in Boston I had 2 extra tickets next to me. Gave them away for free outside. I had decent seats sidestage too.
So people arrive... about 6 people for the 2 seats as the lights go down and PJ gets on. They box me out, someone has the nerve to try to tell me Im in the wrong seat... Just total scum.
i just tell them i dont' care if they are here, i'm just not moving for them and if they're gonna be dicks about it all night, i got no problem getting security.
most of the time i get stared at for actually saying something and the extra body inevitably moves after a few "can you move down PLEASE"s.
i've stubbed people into my section in my life time, but again, i'm small, and i've always made sure we stood in front of each other so we were really only taking 1 seat. now i don't even know if i'd do it b/c i hate it so much.
but if the seat's empty, and you can sit there, then go for it. i bet some of you complainers have sat in other ppls seats in baseball games. if the owners come, you just move. it's no sweat off anyone's back. i don't see the big deal.
With that said, lesson learned. if that happens again, I am getting security.
Dude! I can totally vouch for this story. I was sitting 5th row center and saw this whole thing go down. A similar story on night two, I had about the same seats as night 1. There was a vacant seat next to me. This guy sneeks up during Liams set from the upper bowl and just plops down next me. It really didn't bother me too much until he started yelling stupid shit during Eddie's speeches.
my (363xxx) and my friend (163xxx) got screwed in Night 1 with sec 70 last row so we went down to sec 69 first row right by soundboard/railing to enjoy the view. we found out that those seats were never sold since the railing is a hazard but we stayed behind it and rocked out
its one thing to try and sit in vip seats or floor seats but i say stand where you want until ur asked to move or unless u become a drunk asshole

be a dick about it and I will sick security on you or even a state trooper-those pockets better be empty jagoff
oh ok, that makes sense.
im preety sure there were others in the row doing the same as my companion and I
