For seated shows – in general how have audience been for sitting vs. standing/dancing? And specifically, what do you think that ratio will be for DAVID BYRNE?
The Anthem

Is there truly no way to transfer a super-excellent seat? I have one for Alice In Chains but got screwed by being assigned unexpected work travel that week and no I can’t go. Would really rather not “eat” the ticket $.
Anyone have any tips/suggestions for this kind of situation?
Apologies if this has already been discussed elsewhere but I didn’t find anything about it when searching the forum.
I don't have any tips on that but I have to say the Super Excellent Seats experience is nice. You can show up whenever, perfect view and the lines for the beer and bathroom are a breeze. The non-transfer aspect is the one drawback but I get why its the policy.
I believe this will be the 2nd seated show so far (on the floor), the first one being a classical concert.

The oasis dude where everyone was given free tickets was a "seated" show where everyone on the floor stood up at their seats.

Bon Iver was seated. Thank goodness no die-hards felt the urge to stand up for that set. I think many stood for the Courtney Barnett + Kurt Vile show though, which was also seated. I found a GA seat on the 3rd floor and sprawled out. Wish they would throw seats up there more often.
Thanks so much for a great show on Saturday night. And this time, a much better experience getting into the venue! Everyone was super awesome and thanks for the HH upstairs before the opener :)
What is offered at the HH upstairs?

Has This been confirmed anywhere if these tickets can be transferred? I see some on StubHub…

From the Anthem website:
"Q: Are tickets transferable?
A: Super Excellent Seats are always non-transferable. The ID of the person attending must match the purchaser’s name, which will be printed on the ticket face."
I know some have had success going to the venue, claiming the tickets, and selling prior to the show. Obviously that's tough if you have a scheduling conflict preventing you from attending in the first place. I do like the policy though. It mostly keeps the scalpers away.

I fully support doing anything to keep scalpers away, however I'm wondering how these seats could be on StubHub when they have a 100% gaurantee?
I’ve transferred SES twice. They required I make a copy of my ID for the recipient both times but other than that it was easy peasy.
Some people come with tickets for SES bought on stubhub and they are unable to use them….happens all the time…
But there are examples of people who show a picture of for example their mom’s ID -if their mom bought their tickets -to get in and do

It appears The Anthem tickets will now be sold on ticketmaster?
Yes this has been posted multiple times

While true, I'm glad it's being brought up once again. What's the deal with ticketmaster not disclosing which seats are in your cart? Since the switch, every time I've attempted to buy SES, the page always says "you'll receive 2 tickets in this row". The hell is that? Not all seats, especially at the Anthem, are equal. Hell, seat 1 in almost every row of every box at the venue is partially obstructed.
I don’t know anything about it but I was told now people could pick their own seats like they do with other TM shows
I was just surprised when I posted about TM being used now I did not see one response..maybe people were on vacation

I see what you are saying
I guess now people can see all SES left instead of being given one option but the caveat is you don’t know where on row you are?
