There is no cut off as far as I know. I was at that show and was able to get tickets from the box office during the opener. Probably cheaper there as well as I assume there are less fees. The venue is terrible for sightlines and the sound wasn't the best either. I went as a "tourist" from Western New York and spent the day before the show in the park but I wouldn't go back anytime soon. 

Yeah, it's an older stadium in rural PA. It is what it is. Only ~2 hours from where I live so well worth the trip for me. I'm definitely not going to East Rutherford lol

It was six for me each way. I wanted to see the first show of tour because I hadn't before. Well I was at Hammerstein but I can't remember if that was first or not. For two hours, you wouldn't have to get a hotel and you should be able to get in very cheaply through the box office or StubHub so hopefully it's a good show for you guys.

I can't recall if it was you or another member I want to thank for providing your experience from Hershey park.

People at the gigs don't even know old album tracks, let alone new songs. 

It's where a lot rock music is how- the brand is bigger than the band. 

I find it so weird seeing that pit/seating/rear standing layout of the floor. That would never happen in the UK. 

That's why atmospheres at US gigs are crap & they've shit static crowd's,  seating on the floor...fuck that here for a rock gig

That's how a lot of people want to enjoy their favorite bands. In a comfortable, seated setting, occasionally standing, much more like a theatrical experience. There are others who like to jump and dance around, etc. That's why there's a pit. I wouldn't go so far as to call the people that prefer the calmer setting as "shit".  It's what they like, and thus they get those seats. Myself, I prefer to sit and stand occasionally, maybe a little dancing, some singing along, so I'm somewhere between but mostly the sit down type at concerts, it's how I like to enjoy such performances.

Ah- now I understand your Avatar! Best of luck this season- congrats on finally ousting Snyder!!

Thank you! The euphoria I feel that he’s gone is equal to the simultaneous release of 4 Chinese Democracy sequel albums. Never thought it would happen.

I guess it's all supply and demand.....and people want to sit! I might see the beauty of it in a few years time too! 

I can never see the likes of Guns having a seated floor audience for a uk gig, money talks and in small arenas compared to the US, standing...you get more people in , you'd sit down if you're 93 to watch elton or some coffin dodger, not a rock band

That's what seats around the edge of arenas are for, those who don't want to stand all day
