If it's General Admission, and if you're in the venue, anybody can sit there.  They don't make you go back and sit in your assigned seat like elementary school.

Is there a big difference or much of any difference from rows 29 or row 38? I have heard mix info on it's better to be in the 30's as you can see the whole view better. Where it is slightly more obstructed from the 20's. or it's better to be in the 20's for because sound is better? Or is there really no difference to even worry about? Any info on sound and viewing from these sections would be appreciated.

Yes, you could do this.  But in my opinion it's kind of a shitty thing to do.  It's super easy to score GA seats, so if you want GA just buy GA.  If you buy reserved and go to GA, provided it's sold out, you are one more person competing for a spot in that area that shouldn't be in that area to begin with.  Multiply that by a couple hundred and now everyone who bought GA originally has lost anywhere from one to a couple hundred places in line when it comes to getting the best spot.

Reminds me of a Jack White show at the Masonic Temple in Detroit a few years ago. People with reserved seats flooded the GA floor and by the time I got to the venue, the floor was hundreds of people over capacity and ushers had no idea how to handle it. I asked what I was supposed to do with my floor tickets and they just shrugged and said "sit anywhere, man!" Ended up rocking the whole show standing up on my seats in the very last row of the orchestra. Fun times.

I'm with you on this Stevie, and the opposite scenario wouldn't be cool with me either. What if people bought reserved so they didn't have to deal with ga, and found people in their seats who bought ga's and didn't belong there?  Not cool either IMO.

I think there's plenty of both types of seating to go around, and people should buy what they want, and stay in that area. Unfortunately we all know that'll never be the case 100% of the time but it would be great if people at least were considerate enough to respect others who are where they're supposed to be.

Not a lot of difference, been in that area many times.  Offers a great view without being to far away from stage

Regardless of being cool or not, you can move to ga with reserved tickets.  They don't check ga tickets.

I bought GA, so I'm just going to sit on Pat's bass drum.

Anyone out there sit in GA at this past show in Aug?

I bought GA as well and want to tailgate with our friends who have reserved

Don't mind going in early to snag a decent seat, even if I am in the upper center of GA

Curious to know how early I should go in?

Don't want to walk in an hour or two before the show to find that I am the last one trying to find my GA seat

I am only Roll-Call digital right now, so don't have the laminate...

Free beer / Tailgate / Smoke for anyone who wants to save me and my wife 2 seats :wink:

My crew and I did GA in August, got to the venue about 2 hour prior to will call opening and just tailgated it up. It seemed like the Roll Call early admission was kinda late starting, I recall only getting in about 5 minutes before non RC got in, and we got some pretty killer seats.  That being said, there really truly isn't a bad seat in the house!

This past summer, I got there about a half hour before early entry was supposed to go in.  The line was pretty long but I still managed to get in the first 24 rows.  It was strange, though, there was no VIP to my knowledge last time, yet they still had a massive chunk of rows 5 through 25 (give or take) roped off.  Wasn't like that in 2012. 

Quite honestly, as long as you get there for early entry you will be pleased with your seat.

looks like none of the first sections of reserved will be available today.  I don't understand this.  I held off on buying presale in hopes of better reserved options today.  c'est la vie.

parkervb

got GAs for each night. Hopefully I can use them.
Don't you ever turn it off
