Just a question out of curiousity.  Do you feel the GN'R experience is better from the floor (standing room) or in seats with a possible better view.  I'm also trying to judge which to buy for the Feb 4 show, I had seats right next to the stage in Halifax in 2006 and that was unreal.

On the floor, especially up front, is a far more immersive experience.  Now, I'm not going to lie, every time I've been on the floor I was pretty drunk so that may have played a role, but if I had to choose, I'd go with the floor.  You feel like you're part of the show, rather than just watching...

If you've done seats before, why not switch it up?

I was on the floor for the first Hammerstein show and it was awesome. The last few times I've seen them since 02, the floor in the arenas was GA so I just sent in the seats in the lower bowl.

If the floor were assigned seating, I'd gladly pay more for closer seats. If it's GA, I'm just going to get lower bowl again.

You can always by seats and go down to the floor if you like, then you have the best of both worlds yes.

Depends what you're after.

In the front, you're obviously closer (Mr Obvious) but if you go back a bit, you get to experience the full production in all its glory. You see the whole stage, the video screens and whatever else they have on stage.


Seats guarantee you the spot that is printed on your ticket.... If you don't feel like standing in line for hours before the doors open, maybe that's not a bad thing.

I'm 36, I prefer the assigned seating. Although I had GA for the 2000/2001 Vegas show and the 1st 2 Hammerstein shows.. But in a hockey areana GA is too large of a scale..Go w/ seating..Hopefully they play Nassau Coliseum on Long Island..It's a smaller arean than the over-rated MSG. Not a bad seat in Nassau Coliseum.

Floors. Hands down. Unless there's some reason you can't stand or you can't afford them.

Any other band, I like seats. However, for Gn'R, the floor. That way I'm up front everytime.

Floor. You're freer.

Japan shows are all seating this time tho. It's better when the venue has both the standing and seats for you to choose.

I think they require you to have a standing ticket to get down to the floor.

That's been the case at the shows I've been to....


Imagine if they allowed everybody in an arena down on the floor.....  no

In 2006 I went into the seating for all the shows - found that I had a better view, could see the whole production like Jarmo said and wasn't queueing for hours on end.  Or maybe it was because I am getting old.....

Still you can enjoy seeing the fun crowd in the floor. Imagine if the whole house was sitting.  hihi

thought that was too good to be true.

So you need 2 tickets for that or maybe in msaxl43's place they have special tickets that cost double.

You need a ticket that says you're allowed on the floor...

The venue can pass out wristbands. Or they check your ticket every time you enter the floor.
