Tour Seating!! WTF

I haven't check every venue but its a shame that the majority of shows this year have the same seating setup (pit, seats, and then ga) I'm glad that Hershey has a front GA but my point is that having seats in between the pit and ga seems to have a weird feel. I loved at the caravans where it was all GA. Everyone can pack in and get close depending on how early they get there. I do realize a lot of these venues have seats built in but I would sure love it if there was just a pit then a GA or something like that. Just seeing how everyone else feels about GA being separated by seats at some venues... Who wants to sit down at a DMB concert!?

    GA sucks. I don't want to sit down but I want my own spot I can get to and from easily.

    It's not about sitting down at a DMB concert. It's about having your own personal space where some meat head or crazy bitch can't plow their way thru because it's "GA".

    I'm getting too old to stand up from the time the gates open till 11pm to secure a spot close to the stage. I also don't feel like standing during a shitty song.

    The pit is a huge downfall for Warehouse seniority.

    I feel you guys. Personally, my back starts getting to me after standing for an hour and all the drunk chicks bumping into you can get pretty annoying. I just remember when I bought seats a couple years ago there were empty spots and it was kind of a buzz kill. I just feel like the DMB experience is being deep in a crowd, jamming along with the music.

    You would have loved the old lady n1 at Wrigley. She claimed that since she was so old and had seen The Dead more then I have (mind you I'm 23) that she deserved to be closer then I was. We were about 4 people deep of Dave. lmao

    When we all started the a$$hole chant at her she began to cry and asked why can't we all be friends.


    Till this day I still want to know why she brought up The Dead..

    If you're at an amphitheater what would you like them to do, take out all the seats?

    Also the seats will prevent fights from breaking out. Does anyone remember the two guys throwing down at n2 of Alpine a couple years ago? They were fighting over territory near the stage. Too old for it

    Pit would be awesome if they capped the pit at a reasonable amount. Pit at Alpine must be like 700 people.

    It's such a pain in the ass to purchase 7-10 beers a show without a seat.
