Down to the home stretch of my listening. Having just finished the "Live in Dublin" album, now onto his last three albums.

Are the GA tickets the more expensive ones?

i dont know about expenses
but i know those are the most desirable by the diehards
theres an entire segment of those that
just have to be in the pit no matter what
i prefer a reserved seat.

Ok. I'm trying for the GA. I need to be as close to the stage as possible.

I think for arena shows, Bruce GA seats are generally the same price as lower levels..maybe around 100 after fees. For these shows, the GA procedure is a bit different from other artist's shows..getting there early won't necessarily get you a spot closest to the stage. There are 2 GA sections. There is a barrier halfway through the arena and entry to the front GA section is random. Typically the venue will start assigning numbers to GA ticket holders at the venue starting at around noon or 1. Later in the day they will pick a number and the ticket holder with that number up to the next X numbers will get into the pit.

When I saw Bruce in Dallas, I think there were around 900 people who had received a number at the venue before the show. I think my number was around 500. The venue chose something like number 700 so those were the people who could go into the front GA section first. They let numbers 743-900 in first, and if there was still room they started at number 1. Obviously, that section was already full by the time they got to me, but I made it right behind the secondary barrier. Here's a video of the floor so you can see what I'm talking about.

Thanks!

I looked last night on Ticketmaster to see if they had Hartford listed and they finally did. I checked the prices and was surprised the prices weren't $100 before fees. Ticket prices are $65 and $98. Going to be tough since it's the only north east show this leg in the tri-state area...or my own made up name: quad-state area.

I got a single GA for the KC show, but also a single in section 106 row 6. Which one do you think is better? Obviously pit is the best, but since that's not guaranteed I was thinking about taking the 106. Do any frequent concert goers have some thoughts on this.

Good luck man! I can also try for a ticket for you to increase your chances.

And now to the most recent and terrific album, "Wrecking Ball". Hadn't listened to WOAD in a while and I know a lot of people don't care for that album, but I always found it to be a really good album. A lot of the songs seem like a love letter to Patti.

"Take 'Em As They Come": so brilliant that it doesn't make an album. If any other band or artist wrote and released this song, it would be a big hit for them.

Did you get tix?

[Newch91]

Yes I did!!!

2 GA tickets in the no chairs section, which I'm assuming are right in front of the stage.

Yes they are. Thats awesome!!!! I had GA to a Bruce show three years ago and I got within 10 feet of the stage.
