one of the largest roll call lists since T5.  Bet we hit 50!

We can do it!  Hopefully the boys see how many crazies there are from here attending this show and we get an extra somethin somethin  ;)

It'll have to be word of mouth, I'm afraid.  In talking with the guys this summer, they don't go near this forum.  Too much negativity, they say. 

At Mt. Jam, I asked them to join myself and other "forum folks" on our blanket for Dawes.  Jim said "forum?"  Others close to the band also say the guys don't pay any attention to this place. 

Its too bad, as most of the forum regulars are mighty positive people.  And we are clearly dedicated and respectful fans!  Still, think about some of the stuff on this site and you can see why they'd avoid it.

That makes sense and it doesn't. I can see them not wanting to read stuff on here, but it shouldn't give us a bad wrap.

Did "Buyer Tickets" pop back up?  because I have been trying on and off for 45 minutes and I'm getting nowhere.  :(

Doubt we have a bad wrap.  Guessing CC and many of the admin crew like and respect many who post on here and may at times pass along certain thoughts/sentiments expressed.  I think at this point, many in the band recognize a bunch of the "regulars" at many shows including some of whom are on the forum and some who aren't.   MMJ is very good to and respectful of their fan base.  But even if only 5% of the population is crazy (personally, I think it's alot higher) and only 1% are certifiable, that still means there is plenty of "negativity" out there and more than just a few nutjobs.

(of course i use the term "nutjob" in a loving sort of way)   :o

Not sure about msg, but the LA show said sold out for a while then the buy button popped back up, but there were no GA pits available, then after a bit of time pit Tix were then available again.

[Stevie]

so here's a general MSG question..    anything outside of the pit seems extremely far away..  is the pit definitely the way to go or is that rim seating good as well?  i guess i'll put it this way, if money wasn't factored in and you could sit anywhere in that arena, where would you sit?

[e_wind]

GA, but then I hate seated events. I'm all about general admission and no chairs.

[Stevie]

i just noticed on ticketmaster that american express members get a presale starting tomorrow??

i wonder how quickly i can enroll in that...

ive sat in the 300 section dead center and the view/sound was pretty good. prefer GA floor though

[edierevolution]

As far as arenas go, MSG is a pretty darned good room. Even way back the sound and views aren't bad. The 100 section in the middle is pretty nice if you like to have a seat.

But as anyone who has ever been on the floor at the Garden can attest, there is truly nothing like it. If it weren't for the crazy expensive beers, the pit at MSG is probably my favorite place to see a concert. Seeing Jacket from there a few years ago was amazing.

[oistheone]

Now if we could only sort out this "East GA"/"West GA" business...

Sent an e-mail to Roll Call, but no answer yet.

[CountSA]

I will most likely have one (1) extra GA ticket - bought  2 but probably won't find anyone that can make it with me...

[MrWhippy]

My guess is that the East and West GA pits will just get filled by when people get to the show.  The first 4-500 people in line (or however many would fill the first pit) will get into the first pit, and then they will fill the second pit.

Springsteen shows often have a full GA floor with the pit close to the stage getting filled by a lottery.  I really hope they don't do something like that, but I think that's really just a Springsteen thing.

[oistheone]

I'm hoping (read: praying) that the GA lots are assigned at the point of purchase, and Roll Callers are given access to the closer pit. Now THAT would be a fan club benefit.
