Too many examples to count of past, conflicting answers from various Warehouse operators.

    High demand show, so standing pit instead of seats allows venue to sell twice as many tickets.

    Uggghhh, I was kind of pumped for pit but I have a short gf so I may downgrade to the 200's. Any idea of how early I would have to get there to be up front? This also brings up beer/bathroom issues but I guess I will figure that part out at the show if I keep the pits.

    Well I am still looking forward to a great show in T-Town. Looks like I will be getting the premium reserved seats. Hope they are front row of the 200 sections at least

    Oh yeah, it's going to be a great time regardless! There really are no bad seats in the house.

    I think I have my pit plan figured out. Pregame at Wilhagan's Bar/grille. It's within walking distance. Walk to the venue a couple hours early. Buy 2 beers. Pretty sure they sell 24oz cans but for sure no smaller than 16oz. Bring a couple of toppers to keep them closed since they will probably open them before handing them over. Don't drink during the acoustic portion. Drink during the electric portion. I think that will get me through about 2/3rds of the show. Probably will have to take a piss break by that point and watch the rest from the back of the pit. Good enough.

    And the Warehouse just told me right the opposite. That the floor was Reserved seating and PIT! What a cluster that's going to be if it's all Ga PIT.

    Looks like a pretty cool amphitheater. Should be a pretty intimate show.

    One more tidbit for those of you that are Verizon Wireless subscribers...
    Per venue website: highlight entry through the front gates, gate 7, and gate 19. It should also highlight the Verizon Gate info and read “ All Verizon Wireless customers with proof of phone or bill are permitted to use the Verizon Gate to enter the venue. See map for gate locations."

    ^ Yea there is no lawn...you enter the venue from behind the upper sections and walk straight into seats.

    There's not a bad seat in the place and the pit is enormous. I had pits for Widespread and although it was definitely full, there was still plenty of room to escape for a piss break or beer run and successfully return back to where we were in the pit.

    I could've gone that route but I really wanted a seat. After a full 8-hour day at work then 2.5 hour drive, I'm gonna wanna sit as much as I can

    It's also nice to have my own space that no one else can vouch for
