200s are great.  I think those are club level.  Better food, shorter lines, fewer people to deal with, etc.
I got 123 in presale and kept 'em.  Always take seats like that becuase you can ALWAYS sell them…

sounds awesome, I'm very excited for the show even though I hate the Verizon center  ;D
So is anyone else here skeptical of getting paperless tickets via stubhub?  They can be duplicated or sold more than once, and how would you know.  Hard tickets go for higher prices…($10-20 more).
Stubhub might as well be Ticketmaster. I don't foresee any issues buying off of them other than they're just gouging you for something that you should have had an easier chance at paying face value for. Sorry, can you tell I'm annoyed? :)

fyi those aren't paperless… paperless is when you swipe your credit card to get in the venue.

what they sell on SH are print-at-home (AKA PDFs, TicketFast, etc).  you can trust them from stubhub.
Right, I know, print at home.  Sorry, but glad folks knew what I meant… 
they've just released a bunch of 100's - behind the stage (115 - 188)  ::)

perfect if you wanna check out dave's ass all night.

And for the love of god, quit complaining about ticketmaster and different conspiracies, you sound like an idiot.  Notice how many tickets are already on stubhub?  There are a lot of scalpers out there, both professional and amateur.  These people are much better at ticketmaster than you and will beat you to the punch every time unless you practice and see what works and what doesn't work to improve your speed.

normally i'd agree with this, but i got a good refresh at 10:00:00, and had my request in by 10:00:04… and got nothing.  i'm plenty fast on TM and i know i got a good first pull - and got nothing.  no way this thing was sold out in 4 seconds.
Foos page on FaceBook is not a happy place.  Hope someone in their shop sees the many comments…
I've never been to a great sounding show at Verizon…

well, except for the George Michael show couple years back…
Being their first real DC show in years and the last show added to the tour couldn't have helped the ticket process.

They just put in a new sound system in July that is supposedly designed better acoustically for the arena.

I was there last week for Taylor Swift (hey, it was free) and it didn't sound noticeably different than earlier in the year.
Time is money.

Interesting, I was there for the Kalachakra event and it also didn't sound too different. But I was reserving judgment for something other than Tibetan Folk songs.
Was this before or after Sade? Friends of mine saw that show and said the sound was bad.
in a foo fighters threads, hell just in general . . . nobody's going to bust a single ball for going to taylor swift, even if it was free?
