    Just as a data point I am an 8 year member and on the last tour (originally drawn when I was a 5 year member) my seats were typically far corner lowers.  I could see myself being sent upstairs in Chicago, though hopefully not, unless they want to give me the first row on Mike’s side, but I really don’t think the 20 year members have to be concerned.

    For anyone wondering what the view from the 300s looks like at the UC, here it is.  Bonus points for anyone that can name the band on stage without a 100x zoom…

    The 303 section I got on the 1st reassignment was horrible even looking at the stage!

    One more.  This might make it slightly easier to tell who the band is (doubtful), although if the seats weren’t in another galaxy it’s one of the most recognizable bands on Earth.  I’m getting dizzy just looking at these again, but we had killer views of the Bulls and Hawks championship banners at least.

    Well, it's nice to know that the Live Nation CEO's and the like have a grasp of reality (Sarcasm intended), particularly after seeing the Platinum pricing .... Good lord, talk about being out of touch. 

    “It’s a magic moment, maybe twice a year — way cheaper than Disneyland, or the Super Bowl, or the NFL or the NBA playoffs, or an expensive night out. So it’s really cheap overall, considering. This is a great, great product that people will buy, as they’re gonna buy the Gucci bag. They’re gonna buy moments in life where they will step up, and spoil themselves — the big screen TV and or whatever it may be. This is a business where we can charge a bit more. I’m not saying excessively, but it’s a great two-hour performance of a lifetime, that happens once every three, four years in that market. You don’t have to under-price yourself: low- to middle-income [people] will make their way to that arena for that special night.”

     ~ Michael Rapino, CEO Live Nation regarding Platinum pricing. (Emphasis Added.)  

    (I would like to have a showing of hands here of people who believe 800-1200 for a concert is "really cheap overall?")

    Rusty Larue on one of the Bulls banners as the greatest right place, right time guy ever. Dude must just wear the ring everywhere..

    Close.  I was more of a Backstreet Boys fan.

    I’ve attended hundreds of events at the UC and had seats almost exclusively in the 300 level. My take is the first five rows are good (if you’re at mid court) to fine (behind the basket). After about row ten it gets to feel pretty far away. That said,, my first PJ show was 1998 at the UC and I was in one of the last rows (so row 20+) at the back of the 300 level. It was one of the great concert experiences I’ve ever had. Granted, it didn’t cost $162/seat. :)

    I won suite tickets for a show once, not realizing they were way at the top of the arena, even above the 300 level. Not the best. I already had 10C seats the night before, so I was just happy to be there. Also, free beer!

    1st request cc declined because it looked like fraud.  Multiple charges to CC.  Tickets today is awful.  They emailed me to request again.  Did that.  Now that request number is invalid.  10 club for 15 years.  This system is now fucked.  
    Emailed the link in the ticket today email for TC.  Will see how they explain where 2nd request went.
