If they are going to use a random location format for $85, at least they are thinking outside the box for once. In '05, I paid Fan Club $100 & was able to get 4th row @ Fenway openah for $99, which was a random pull of tickets. I see this as the same thing, only without the "phony club" vig of $100. I will go for this for Bauston. If I get bleeds, not a problem, I knew this going in. If I get better, it's all gravy.

Its on TM although I think the link came from rs.com.

I'm amazed at some of the comments on facebook. People choosing not to complain about tickets being $600 or $1,500 - but they're going apeshit because when offered a $85 ticket it doesnt tell them where they're going to be. Even though it was advertised in advance that the tickets could be anywhere in the venue including the pit.

Seems that quite a few people appear to be getting lucky with these, so it would appear that the concerns that it was just about a thousand tickets for the entire tour are unfounded.

It spefically says 'GA' and not 'TBA' as many people's tickets have said?

that would suggest to me you're in the pit. There arent any other GA areas in these venues are there?

I was being very cautious since I know they specifically said they wouldn't reveal seat locations so I didn't want to get ahead of myself. But I think it certainly looks like I'll be in the pit!

I think using Bruce standards it would lead one to think they are pit tickets, however, haven't the Stones noted that locations will be advised "day of show"? I would expect all tickets to say something random, however, I could & probably am completely off the mark with this logic..

Toronto. I just don't know where R3 and R4 are located. I assume R is right side and 1 would be closest/4 would be farthest but the seating chart just doesn't tell you

I bought two for Chicago (Friday 31st), mine says GA2 as well. I'd say it is a generic label, and doesn't actually mean the pit.

I remember going to a Neil Young show and having some guy barge into the GA section (the whole floor was GA) about 2 songs into the show, ramming his way up front, screaming that he was in the "Front Row" and to get out of his way, because his ticket said "Row 1, Seat XX" (as did everyone's). He then decided to push some woman over whose husband happened to be the tallest/biggest person in the venue. He proceeded to just punch the guy in the face, VERY calmly, then turned back and kept watching the show as everyone congratulated him. Then security saw the commotion, everyone pointed at the guy lying on the floor who had been punched, and he was kicked out. Was quite funny. The tall guy was a really nice, gentle giant as well. Just don't mess with his wife.

I'm surprised how easy it was. Maybe shows how much the scalpers/bots/guest list/promos take up. I tried for $600, thought the result was crap ... way up the back of the lower bowl. So tried for the $85 about 5 minutes after they went on sale, had to wait about 5-7 minutes, then they appeared. No problems.
