This show was fantastic! I lucked out on a ticket. Flew to Seattle in afternoon and got a ticket on the plane. What popped up? TM released a fresh block. Floor 4, Row 4, center aisle! So first row behind pit, closest to catwalk. "Standard" price. ($550 + fees).
Still a lot, but WAY less than my "platinum" seat in Vegas.
Anyway, guy next to me said TM does this a lot -- releases great seats last minute when the band doesn't need them. Good to know. Never buying 6 months out anymore. Lady behind us paid $2k for her "platinum" ticket .
(My original plan was to do pit, but I was a little worried after hearing Vegas was way overpacked. Plus I was getting there kinda late, and wanted to get drinks, relax, etc. So these were perfect. *Basically* pit, but could still come and go, have some personal space, etc.)
Anyway, it was GREAT. The performance was fantastic. I was so happy watching them. Yeah the setlist was predictable. But ... so? Being there, that close, it's just extraordinary.
I also had a great seat/experience in Vegas. We were Lower bowl, front row, right next to Pit B. Also great. Probably "cleaner" in lower bowl -- no obstructions, distractions at all.
You can see some vids on Vegas thread.
But floor, close, is gloriously immersive and electric. So either Pit or floor seats, close, especially if you can get close to catwalk (where aisle seats *become* the front row.)
Here's a few phone vid snippets.
