Why do they do that? I can understand having seats around the arena for those who choose to be seated and want an elevated view. But why is the floor not standing?
Is this common in the USA or just common with particular bands?
I saw Def Leppard once at an arena show in NZ...walked in and the entire floor up to the stage was seated. Like....wtf
Honestly theres probably a lot of reasons they do it. They have a visual heavy set so part of it is probably to help people watch wothout fighting for a spot.
The main reason is probably because you can charge more for a seat than you can GA.
personally for a band like them i am 100% ok with it. Im not trying to mosh during tool and i enjoy my personal space
Yeah I recall rolling Stones had this huge stadium show once and I nabbed prime seats in second rw
Of course as soon as band starts most people stand....then people behind them whine...sit down so I can see
Or people rush forward and security spends all night herding people back to their rows and seats
I had seats for Mayhem the year Slayer was first on. The old people behind me starting crying because we were standing up. Told them to fuck off if you want to sit during a metal show thats your choice
kind of a reach but i could see this being tossed in the set as a replacement for third eye. Idk if they would open with it. I feel like it would kill doe. It was last played in 2011. oly 3 times doe so maybe they don't like the live reception it gets. that was in aussie country doe.
