    I picked up behind stage tickets for the MSG show in 2022. They were great!  -- close to stage, great view.

    The behind the stage sections aren’t  even on the Ticketmaster map for Portland.

    If I remember right Portland did not have behind the stage in 2013 either.

    Oh okay, maybe the venue doesn’t do behind the stage tickets for concerts?

    I know it’s minor but not having arenas sold all around the stage is another strike against this bands live shows. It just won’t  feel the same.

    I don’t think they always had seats behind the stage, did they? During either the ‘06 (maybe ‘08?) tour, didn’t they have a back drop behind the stage with the Klausen wave?

    It changes the whole feel of the room. I know it’s nitpicking , I’m just being honest. Seeing fans surrounding the band on all sides, it’s just a certain feel and look of the room.

    They do, but their vibe is to be surrounded by fans. They do it well. The garden will not shake with no fans surrounding the stage

    Tool does screens well, PJ, Bruce etc do fans 360 better.

    I could swear I saw behind stages seats at $600 for one of the west shows. Maybe I dreamt it.

    for tickets so difficult to get, it’s surprising they’d cut tickets by 20%. 

    Hopefully they’ll have a second chance draw for fans unfulfilled from the lottery with rear stage seats

    I could be wrong but I don't remember behind the stage during the 2013 tour.  And I had a great time

    People care about seating behind the stage... who knew? I never notice the behind the stage people unless and until they do a song for the back. All the amphitheater shows (2 or 3 plus Ohana) I've seen them at had no people behind them, and some of those shows were pretty good.

    Of course they put on a good show regardless, I just love seeing fans In every section. Plus that’s 2-3k less fans per show if the back is closed.

    I don't remember seeing people behind in Barclay's for some reason.

    I'm sure they will sell the behind the stage sections, they just haven't dropped yet.  The shows are sold out, they will get more people in the door / sell more tix by opening up the sections behind the stage like every other tour.

    MAYBE the lower bowl, but nobody is paying $175 for upper bowl back there. Well, maybe Philly and NYC

    Maybe they will have a cool “dark matter” backdrop. It seems weird there is no behind stage tickets. Although, whos gonna pay $175 for those? Once the price point goes above $125, there are less people going to buy them.    
    They would sell out as fast as the general sale did. You don't think they would sell when people have spent over $800 for premium?
