i am 52 and never been able to attend a concert (money/work). Missed presale due to family illness. There are tickets behind the stage in Quebec and I am wondering if it’s worth it. I am okay with being far away/behind but I would like to be able to see a screen. Are you able to?

    100%. I had similar tickets for MSG night 2 in 2016. They have  very bare bones stage, and rely more on lighting than anything. They even turned around to face us & played Last Kiss.
    Every once in a while, a band member will acknowledge the back, too. It's not the usual concert experience, but this is PJ. Always go when you can! You won't be sorry :)

    If it was me I would spend some time F5ing to get a decent pair at the front of the stage on the fan2fan resale. PM me if you do not know what that is or how to go about doing so.

    It's worth it if you have never been and really want to go see the show!

    I’ve sat behind the stage and it was still a great show, with decent sound quality too.  In a typical arena setup the one benefit is that you’re quite close to the action behind the stage, I.E. you’re a lot closer than sitting at the opposite end of the arena, where you may have a more typical view.

    I'm 55, been on rail +50x since 93'. Got skunked in Ott and Que this tour. I will go for any ticket that is available. I tend to walk around arena when not on rail. It is fantastic just be in the house!
