Bruce at Verizon
February 02, 2009 at 06:41 PM UTC
#
I was able to get what I think are two killer tickets to see the Boss in May, but I have absolutely no clue, since I can't find a seating chart that seems to make sense. I don't think I've ever seen a show at Verizon, so I also have no clue what the floor area is like.
Here is my ticket info:
Section GAFLR
Row GA1
Seats 189-190
Anybody know what that means? I'm holding off telling my wife until I figure out how good/bad these are…

So it is standing room only? I was a little thrown off by the row and seat assignments…

if they handle GA floor like they did in 2007, you can show up (hours) early and take a number for a lottery for the front floor section (approximately 400 people). this worked out spledidly for us– we were essentially 6th row!

I completely forgot these tickets went on sale this morning till like 1030. At that time I tried to get tickets for Verizon and it was all gone. I did however get a floor for the Charlottesville show instead. What time did you guys get your floors???? I've always never been able to get floor for shows at Verizon no matter what.

Maybe Bruce will call you onstage to dance with him during "Dancing in the Dark."

The row and seat number are just for tracking purposes, so they know how many are allowed in that capacity.

I got mine at about 10:00:05. By 10:15 you couldn't even get 2 seats together.
I got in the pit last time, too. That was pretty amazing.

i found this interesting. i did not want floor. the person i am going with gets uncomfy around so many people pressed like a mob screaming for born in the fucking usa. so i went for concource seating from the 1000 am second set go mark, and pulled . . . two 400 section front row seats. no 100, no 200, no 300. i had another computer going and going, pulling nothing but 400 only, from the start. then at ten after, everything was gone. i just said screw it and chose those front row of the middle 400 seats. it will still be a good show. to have the chance to see born to run live makes me almost feel straight. ;D

If you're a Bruce fan it will be good, if you're not, well that's ok too.
His last tour me and my friend totally lucked on on the GA lottery system they have for floor seats. We were like the 20th people let in to the arena and were right in front, right in between Bruce and Nils. Great show.
Unfortunately I'll have to sit this one out since I was nowhere near a computer at 10:00 with no way to get in front of one.

I got GA Floor as well. By about 10:06 you couldn't find two seats together. I tried for a friend after I got my tix. Should be good.

Do people really get shit-faced drunk at Superbowl parties? Is that what the kids are doing nowadays? Damn kids with all their rock'n'roll and fisting.

people get shit-faced every sunday just watching regular NFL games, don't see why SB would be any different… although food is a big part of the game, it's harder to go blotto on a tummy full of chili and ribs. but yeah, you're probably right, most folks probably don't get too wasted at SB parties - it's a family event, after all (RE: wardrobegate).
i'd assume that a lot of steelers fans woke up a little fuzzy this morning :)

The only difference between Super Bowl Sunday and any other NFL Sunday is that had the Cardinals prevailed, I would have beaten out the crap out of my wife.
