edited August 2013 in The Porch
So I recently got tickets for both nights... One night in section 225 and one night in section 207. I have looked at the 3d seating and stuff and it doesn't seem too bad. However, I want on yelp and other review sites and it's filled with reviews saying the 200 level seats aren't worth it, are miles away, dangerously steep, and many other bad things. Literally ALL nightmare stories. Now I'm worried. Has anyone sat there before for a show or know anything about it?

    Depends where you are.
    Simply put, Barclays 200's are basically the later row 300's and 400's of the old Garden but steeper. Don't be fooled by the low number.

    Sorry to be that guy. Atleast youre in the building.

    What TM fails to tell you is that there are 2 levels of suites btw the 100's (which are basically nonexistent) and the 200's

    I just don't want to be uncomfortable. I want to be able to jump around and rock out. I also just want a decent view. I figured since sections 225 and 207 are like the first ones to the left and right it shouldn't be horrible. I'm just really worried about it now.

    Gotcha. I'm not as worried about comfort.. As long as I have a solid enough view.

    You do know there will be thousands of people sitting in 200 level right? If it was miserable people would not continually buy those tickets and sit in those seats for shows. If you like listening to Pearl Jam's music you'll have fun.

    You won't be close enough to see the band in detail but that comes with the territory in upper deck seating. It is an arena of course.

    seriously fan club seats that are floor behind the ga pit will be worse than any 100 or 200 level seats.......be grateful you love such an amazing band and we all get to join year after year meet up with friends talk shows, sets, songs, openers, the god forsaken pj virgins lol jk but in all seriousness just go listen socialize and live because pearl jam shows are not just concerts they to me and thousands even millions is a religion and the best thing we have in our lives......

    View really isn't too bad. The two times I've been at Barclays I've been in section 206 and section 223. In 206, I could only see 1/2 of the drummer, but overall really not bad. Didn't have a problem with 223 at all. Only thing I'd say is accurate is the steepness. It is REALLY steep as you go up. Overall, nothing to worry about, though! Once the music starts you'll just be happy you're in the building!

    Ok, just to be clear here, I complained about nothing. I am thrilled, ecstatic and privileged to be going to these shows. I simply came across reviews of these seats with legitimate concerns worth looking into, some involving safety. I will be rocking my ass off, sluggin brews, and jamming along to the greatest band in the world.
