    I met an American girl at my hometown show in ireland 3 years ago and she was the most uptight miserable misery guts i've ever met - she was worried about her place in the line, about her view in the venue, about her travel, about her hotel….

    i put it down to her having her period


    maybe she was just an american! :lol:

    Not me. I entered the draw for Milan and Leeds and lost both. What annoys me us that under the old system I always manages to get pre sale tickets. This stupid lottery makes question why I bother paying to be a fan club member, especially when some people won multiple draws

    Maybe she couldn't use her cell phone overseas. Going through "kittens playing the piano" video withdrawal. I know when I don't know what my high school classmates who I've never spoken to in 15 years are having for dinner, I'm a little out of sorts.

    The coddling and how much American kids are spoiled nowadays has created this entitlement, it's really sad. I didn't really see it til I lived in Holland a while back for work. Took a step back and realized a lot of Americans are like that.

    So I haven't really paid attention to the venues or the seating.
    But from what I am reading....

    People were BETTER OFF putting in for GA this time around?
    You had a better chance to get GA than to get reserved?

    Is that correct?
    Or am I fucking nuts?

    I think it was pretty clear in the 10C's email that more GA were available then reserved. These GA fields are huge for most shows.

    you are correct..2 reasons,first all floor is GA and are stadiums,means ALOT GA available
    second.10c emai was clear:
    "A VERY SMALL number of reserved tickets are being held as a courtesy to our members who prefer not to stand
    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
    "..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
