 I don't know what to do, get general admission since I guess its just first come first serve as relation to the stage or get the club seat. I want to be as close to the fucking stage though.

DUDE KEEP THE GENERAL ADMISSION!!!!!! you are crazy if you trade it for seats,, GA means you can go up to the stage....once you see GNR up that close as I have 3 times, you will never go back to seats again!!!!

General Admission. No doubt about it.

thanks dudes, i thought thats what i'd do just sucks that they had a presale and did that shit, i guess its to sell more tickets though and have a better show and I'm all for that!!

I think thats gonna definitly make for a better concert expierence, it always does. TAKE GA!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I would go with the GA also. I have GA for the 2 of the shows I have tickets for in Nov and the one is on the floor but not GA.

stick with the GA! I dont understand why a rock concert would have seating upfront. When I saw Guns in 02 I had 2nd row floor seats and the seats didnt do anything but allow you to sit down during CKY, and Mix Master Mike. Everyone was standing during the whole Guns performance. You also have a much better chance at getting up close this way. If you want up front just show up early and get in front of the line, you can also hook up with a few board members, to help secure you a good place at the show. Make friends and show some respect and you will have a amazing time.

shit man i'm the odd man out... i've been to GA shows in small places.... And although its good, way to crowded, possibilty of dickheads, standing forever, and having to worry about bathroom/beer break then getting a shitty place... just sucks the seats are no longer... ?

Got the same e-mail for here in San Diego yesterday. Although we've known it was switched to GA since they went on sale to general public. Only people through the pre-sale got floor seets......now have to get new tix. 

Found out a few days ago about this while cking ticketmasters website.

I feel the same way you do. I had 14th row floor seats for me & my wife that I got in the pre sale.

Being able to chill and have a beer or 2 between sets without losing my spot is a plus for me. No way would my wife be able to handle a GA atmosphere. We are both 33, so call us old farts!

I ended up exchanging my tickets for club seats which are actually not that far from my originals, pretty happy with the seats I got. Although Ticketfucker charged me $5.00 more per ticket after pulling this & would not explain why.

i'd take GA for sure!!!  i've had the best times at GA shows!!!
