Oh and it looks like there will be a GA Pit, even better

Looks like the whole thing is GA. Floor is divided in two, with the front half GA Pit. Back half standing GA, and even the balcony is a seated GA/first come first served.

This is essentially correct.  The balcony and the back half of the lower level are GA, but they're all seats....lower level, too.  Just grab an open one wherever.

As for the pit/front half of the lower level, they limit the amount of people they'll allow in there, so show up early.  (Strand of Oaks is a solid opener anyway.)  I made the mistake of skipping the opener last time I was at Tower and the pit was maxed out - no one allowed in, even with people coming out.

Yes, I misspoke a bit there. The back half of the floor is a seated GA, first come first served like the balcony.

I wasn't near a computer at the time. :-(

I'll just wait for the public sale.

Anyone have a seating chart for this that indicates that it's GA or is it like the Moore, where the seats are GA on the floor (First come, First serve)?

Interesting. The Tame Impala show is also first-come first-served, I've never heard of this at the Tower.

Do you lose your seat if you get up to get a beer or go to that bathroom?

Oh wait. I don't do that at MMJ shows.  :cheesy:

Regardless, I hope I'm in the GA Pit!!

It's up on the Live Nation site.  Basically the front 1/2 is a standing GA Pit. The back 1/2 is a seated GA, first come first served, and the balcony is also seated, first come first served.

They've been doing GA show at the tower for the past year or two.  When i saw the War on Drugs earlier this year it was GA/first come first serve.  Last year I saw Haim there (won tix) for GA.  Not sure if the was first come first serve though.

Cool. Did you prefer it over assigned seating? How do they do 1/2 GA standing when there are seats pretty close to the stage? Maybe it's not permanent seating.

Stupid questions, it doesn't even matter! Too much coffee for me. See everyone in two months!

I never miss MMJ in Philly, but since I moved to Chicago and am not going to be back in Philly til the following week for Thanksgiving, I sadly will miss this most likely epic show at Tower!!!  Don't worry though, I'm sneaking out to Seattle for the 2 night run and getting one of the NYC shows in while I'm on the east coast for the holiday....  everyone enjoy that Philly show and dance a little extra for me please!!

Good question.  I kinda did like it over assigned seating.  I think they cut people off from entering the GA/pit area after a certain amount of people or something.

The pre-sale for Tomorrow starts at 10.  I thought I saw WXPN post what the password is but i can't find it now.  Anyone know what the password is for the other pre-sale?

I can't find it in my emails because I must have deleted it by accident, but I'm pretty positive the XPN password is: BASS

Pre-party anywhere?  Waterford Inn would be the only place I can think of though.  I remember havign a pre-party there for an Eddie Vedder show a few years back.
