Columbus tickets dropping

Get them while they're hot!

So, now we can hope this same pattern is followed for all the other concerts.

Let's hope. I was worried what effect Mick's VIP deal thing might have on the rest of us getting good seats at face value.

Yes, I'm monitoring the Philly situation; lots of tickets available in Newark, NJ, due to high ticket price...approx. $200.

Does anyone else find the seating arrangement in Columbus a bit strange? It looks like they have blocked off the aisles of the first few rows of the floor.



It's almost as if they are trying to discourage people from amassing at the stage. I wonder if they are going to use this configuration elsewhere. If not, why are they doing this in Columbus only?

To me, there are always a few venues that do this, but it doesn't carry over to other places. Like I know that Universal (now called Gibson's, I think) strictly blocked off the first rows when I saw Stevie there, but the way their spacing is I think they really HAVE to for fire safety reasons, because they didn't have space between the front row and the stage. So, it was just like that because the venue had a different configuration. Maybe that's true in Columbus.

Well, if their motivation is fire safety, aren't they making matters worse in Columbus by blocking off the means of egress provided by those aisles? Plus, on a purely practical basis, the poor people at the ends of those rows will have to deal with so many more drunkards stomping on their toes as they squeeze by to go to the restroom.

That's the standard Nationwide Arena floor plan, so I don't think there's any reason to think that this configuration is something they'll be doing at all venues. When I saw FM there in 2009, people amassed at the front of the stage anyway.

ticket for columbus are under lock and key! I still cannot pull up a decent floor seat. There are tons on the secondary market and Im sure some of Micks VIP seats will go back into the pool. Hopefully in the 11th hour something will pop up. If anyone is looking to sell a good floor seat, PM me. Thanks!

BigAl84, I hear you. I've been checking every few hours myself! I'm not working this week, so I'm on the computer frequently and have been checking regularly myself.

They definitely had a similar formation at the last concert (The Who) I went to in Philly in December. I was in the 12th row and it was the first 5 or so that were blocked off.
