    San Francisco was G.A. in 2006 ... I know Munich was G.A. in 2007 as well ...

    There are improvements made to prevent what has happened in the past, new fencing (which has a center section jutting into the crowd for easier access by security) ... also, that was a festival, WAY more people. Heck, they play festivals all the time.

    Also, the band was pretty vigilant during the show ... calming the crowd down, threatening to play slower tunes if people didn't cooperate with one another (I kow they did this in SF in 06).

    They have the seated option if you're afraid of the floor.

    I think they are doing plenty.

    Other than maybe 2 shows all the shows in Europe in 2006/7 were GA (and with 10c you didn't have an option to buy seats) ... in Europe it's pretty unusual for a rock show to be all seating,
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    any idea if the tenclub standing tickets will be sectioned off from the other floor tickets.
    i think theres normally a crowd barrier behind the fanclub (as in dublin 2006) or is it going to be a free for all :shock:

    where have you been? :? :?:
    both the 2006 and 2007 euro tours were GA, as were a handful of small venue US dates.

    Maybe, no telling. We have no early entry (except Berlin), but they could give us a golden circle wristband if there is a golden circle. Or it might be a free for all :?

    i've seen pj 8x in europe, all with 10c tix...and only once was there ever a barrier dividing 10c from other fans: dusseldorf. otherwise, 10c usually got 15 minute early entry, and then everyone mixed together.
