ah jillboston that is interesting, that could be it! I know one time we were able to switch HORRIBLE nosebleed seats for GA bc the woman with the GA wanted to have a seat, lol. Just even exchange but she could have probably sold the GA for a lot more.
That doesn't make any sense to me. Who sits at a concert? Honestly, last concert we went to was the Avett Bros and I would have liked to sit b/c my feet hurt but I wouldn't have been able to see a thing b/c no one sat down. Ever.
Haha, she was a woman in her 50s I think (so not old) but H said she had a cane.

We didnt really quibble bc we wanted GA ;-)
I was going to say that some of us have a history of right leg injuries ::looks around nervously:: and occasionally are in a condition where standing for long periods of time exacerbates it.

Well, Springsteen did go 4 straight hours in Finland last year. And a lot of GA people line up 2 or 3 hours before the concert. But I guess you have to pay to play.
I have a theory that Bruce is trying to improve his old fart fans' health - or trying to kill us. One or the other.
Hey, I said I WANTED to sit, but no one else would!
Honestly, we were on the first level of an opera house, but our friends were in the balcony and they said no one stood at all. I was so jealous. I had purchased the balcony seats, but then won the floor seats, so we gave them the "bad" ones. I should have kept the ones in the balcony!

That's the last [and like 2nd] concert I went to also! Tickets were easy to get and I sat the whole time. Everyone sat. Because it was a miserable concert outside in an absolute downpour. I didn't know shoes could get as wet as mine did [wearing Boggs] and I had to avoid moving or I would have to re-adjust a new portion of skin to the cold wet.
I would need a chair/seating available. I can walk for a long time, but standing around kills my back after the surgery.

Our last concert was Avett Bros too! Thankfully I was sitting in a "lame" section where we all sat the whole time and I was happy about that. fogey checking in..
My worst concert experience recently was my first time to this bar that has concerts and like no seating whatsoever. Too many hours standing in not comfortable shoes listening to Dawes..love Dawes but it's rough standing the whole time listening to sleepy music!
I *hate* getting floor tickets. I can't see because I'm short. Drunk people bump into me and I have to use my elbows with extreme prejudice. If you have to go to the bathroom you lose your space. Bah. Give me a seat any day.

You know, I've felt this way often (although I honestly can't recall the last time I sat at a concert because we go to rock shows at small clubs). BUT the videos I've seen from my friends who've been in the pit at the recent Bruce shows....yeah, I'll dehydrate myself for 2 days to avoid peeing to be down there. Good god. If I got to shake the Boss' hand during "Darlington County," I might actually die of happiness.

I went to a show once with my HS BF who was 6'6". He got stuck behind a dude his height with a giant fro. He asked if that was how I felt at shows. I said "nah. I'm really good at finding a hole now."
Ticketmaster is the devil. H got us tickets to go see Eddie Izzard next week (so excited!) and the damn Ticketmaster fees doubled the cost of the ticket. They charged us a convenience fee and THEN they charged us a fee to PRINT OUR OWN TICKETS. WTF is that, charging us to save them money in paper, ink and postage?!
