    The short answer to your second question is no. The area around the forum is going through a massive phase of redevelopment with the new football stadium being built. Once the stadium is open, there will be a ton of new options, but not now. I’d recommend hanging around the airport - nothing special, hotel bars, etc. but it’s close and less risk of traffic.

    Wife and I are flying in from Chicago for both shows. Can't wait. Was thinking of getting a hotel in Hermosa Beach...is that a decent choice?

    Veddernarian: Hermosa, Redondo, Manhattan Beaches all good choices.  So are Playa Del Rey, Marina Del Rey, Santa Monica.  While traffic is total sh!t, actually disgusting, these places aren't too too far from the forum.  Be advised, the LA shows are weekdays, traffic is hell, you'll be shocked.  Leave earlier that you would in normal places.

    Hey, that's one of the ones I got too!

    I saw Tool at the Forum ages ago, in the pit area.  View was fine, but man, it was sparse up there.

    Section F on the floor, row-7.  It all depends how high the stage is.  If there are tall people in front of me, it will be like San Diego 2003 where I was floor, row T in the SD sports arena.  I occasionally saw the band, from their shoulders up, in-between people in front of me.  This could be the same, we'll see.  My San Diego experience - people have their own takeaways, e.g., saying I should be thankful for just getting into the building whether or not I would be able to see the band.  We'll- my take is if being able to see isn't a requirement, buying the bootleg and listening to it should suffice.  But I have a requirement of being able to see as well as being able to hear.  So my San Diego tickets, as per my standards, were horrible.  When Idylwild played and nobody stood, I actually thought I had great seats.  When PJ came out and I couldn't see except for their heads, sometimes, it was the worst.  Hoping this won't be the case at LA2.

    I’m in G and 5’3”. This’ll be fun!
  • Sections 103 and 136 - Around the seats I was expecting considering a lapsed my number and only re-upped a couple years ago, however not bad seats and definitely glad to be going to both!  Very stoked to see them again

    I got GA for first night and Sec E for the 2nd.  I'm coming from Jersey and going with a group of friends who have tickets all over the place.  We'll figure it out though, we always do.
    Don't come closer or I'll have to go

    You do realize you could have bought just one ticket for each show this time around right?

  • Can't really complain after signing up for 10 club for the 1st time on January 1st.  I got Section 104, row 13.
  • LA 1 = Section J row 21. I think that’s the last row for J. Next to the mixing board so at least the sound will be awesome.  I’m 5’8”. Hopefully tall people don’t decide to stand for the whole show.

    LA 2= GA!!!!! I haven’t been in the GA since San Diego 95 on the “F Ticketmaster Tour”. Can’t wait.

    For lodging stay somewhere nice like the Shade Hotels. The one in Manhattan Beach is amazing and you are right in the action. It’s worth the money. Completely worth the money! There ain’t jack to do around the Forum before the show. Spend time at the beach and then Uber over at 6. The beach is always nice.
