Drummerrobin Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Seems that opinions on the subject are quite polarised judging by the reaction from my thread! I've already made mine clear (see the thread) but what do you think? Note that the question applies to the floor area only and is also about Rush specifically (preferences might be different with other bands).

SchemingDemon Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Reserved. A lot of the time I can't make it to the venue until an hour or so before the show starts, and I really can't waste a whole day waiting in line to get a good seat. It'd be fun once or twice, but that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manders Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I'm a small, thin person that generally gets shoved out of the way every time I've gone to a general admission concert. I just don't like be squished and pushed around. That and I have recently developed arthritis in both knees and ankles and it's impossible for me to stand that long without a little "sit break" now and then.

1 of the 7 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Gonna have to go with reserved. While GA would give me a lot better chance of getting up front, I don't know if I could last the whole day to get there early enough, and I bet I'd get hurt with people packing in. I'm even getting nervous about being in the third row with reserved seats. Oh well, I'm slightly overweight and not really short, so I'm at least a little tough to shove around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielmclark Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Reserved. I wouldn't go if my only option was general. I'm not extremely claustrophobic, but just enough that I can't handle being in a crush of people on the floor like that. I need that little bit of space that reserved seating gives me.

J2112YYZ Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Since we're only talking about Rush, i'm going with reserved seats. But if i'm seeing someone like Megadeth, I would prefer general admission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Reserved seating. I remember back in 1981 when I was still young and the crush that occurred when the doors were open. This was 2 yrs after the Who concert (which was less than 100 miles away) and it was STILL GA. Kind of scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThinkingBig Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I don't remember the last time I bought a GA ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazyyz Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Even though in RS everyone is standing, I prefer to sit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmotionDetector Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 RESERVED. I've never bought a GA ticket, and I've never had a desire to. Like I've discussed in other threads, I LOVE to stand at shows. That adds to the atmosphere for me...it's a ROCK concert! But with that said, the reserved seating is important to give some structure to WHERE I can stand. I don't want to be pushed, shoved, kicked, punched, or crushed when going to a show to be entertained. It's absolutely depressing to hear stories of people being injured and/or killed while going to watch a concert. It makes me sick. These are people's lives we are talking about. If people were able to be civil, then GA wouldn't be an issue. But with GA, it seems to give people the willingness and freedom to do as they please and push their way to the front. My dream is still to land a front row ticket at a Rush show, but if that's ever going to happen, I'd rather have to pay 3 times the price than get injured or killed in the process.

Stormtron Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Never been to Rush where there was a GA floor, but I would love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sausage Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 For me reserved seating is the only way to go. i usually pick out and pick up the concert tickets, making sure that i get the end seat on the aisle. this way you can get to whatever you have to without any hassle.

jesse2112 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 i think Sarnia Bayfest was GA but two sections premium and shit tier GA. I wasnt there so don't quote me. I am going to Bayfest to see Iron Maiden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightAntennae Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Most people turn into animals with GA. No thanks! I'll take my reserved seat over GA any day of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losingit2k Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Reserve, there's no moshing at concerts! Its a classy affair! and the occasional: followed by: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdFireYYZ Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) I like reserved the best but general admission is fine as long as there's no shoving since I'm mildly claustrophobic. I saw Steven Wilson and Blackfield and both were general admission. It was great since I was able to get really close to the stage and there wasn't a lot of shoving/crowding.
