I'll do the same. I wouldn't mind Worcester. DCU Center was just renovated. Maybe they added in something to make the sound better.
I have a suspicion that Hartford Reserved is probably the most selected "Top 4" option in the lotto.
This could be true, I know I picked it. For one the band for some reason really likes this shithole of a town and the shows I've been to here have been quite good. Plus the show is closer to the end of the tour, sorry pitt, but they are gonna blow that first show. I put hartford GA in my top 3 and reserves as my 5th or 6th pick, i've changed them so many times I've lost my mind.

You can sit next to me in "Worchester," B.
It's so fucking weird that they are playing Worcester.
It really is. I don't understand it.
My guess is the Fleetcenter must be booked that entire week and they figured the centrum was the next biggest venue around.
Worcester is all about the GA seating setup...U2 and the Stones had to shell out huge money for insurance and security in Boston proper, as well as get city council approval (well, U2 did for their last two tours, not sure about the Stones and their "tongue pit"). Mansfield offers a pit but certainly not 1/3-1/2 of the lower section(s). Plus Oct 15th is a little dicey for Mansfield.
Pretty much any arena act that wants a GA floor plays either Worcester, Lowell or Mansfield. Boston has made it pretty much cost prohibitive for 99% of acts today, which is why a band like Nickelback, who bangs out the venue (be it Worcester or Mansfield) everytime they play the area, has never really played Boston proper (not that I care about them, but they're a good example). And it's a big reason why Tsongas gets a lot of shows that might otherwise play Boston (Agganis).
This may be a dumb question, but the 15th is when the lottery is, so on that date, (if we got reserved seats) do we find out our seat number right then and there?

Yea, thats a dumb question.
No. On the day of the show
:/
I want to know if I'm behind the "Pit" so I can buy seats through the regular sale and ditch the crappy back of the floor ones.
Ahh..my first post after probably a year.....and certainly the first one for the new board.
Well, My preferences (so far) are:
1) Brooklyn Night 2 - Reserved
2) Brooklyn Night 2 - Floor
3) Brooklyn Night 1 - Reserved
4) Brooklyn Night 1 - Floor
5) Hartford - Reserved
6) Hartford - Floor
Haven't really considered Hartford in any of the past tours, how's the crowd generally there? Decent fan base? Decent luck for me as pref 5 and 6 to score 10c seats?
Let's see what I get, if I get any. Otherwise I'll dip into my PJ tour savings from (the lack of a tour) last 2 years and stubhub the motherf****!
Good luck to you all. Hope to see you NooYokers at Barclays.
Put in for LA. See my boy out there and have some fun in the sun before retiring to the mountains for the winter. Never seen a pj show out west either.
As I sat in the break between Ellie Goulding and Bruno Mars last night, I for a moment thought about driving to chicago with no ticket and trying to get into wrigley.

Im pretty sure you would be able to get it, but you would also be able to hear it very well from outside the stadium. Chloe and i were considering going to pitchfork this year which is the same weekend and we were gonna probably go listen to the wrigley show instead of whoever would be playing pitchfork at that time.

It would not be a problem. Prices are on the decline in the secondary market and the number of tickets on ebay and stubhub has been increasing. I expect 500 level tickets to be under $150 from the flippers a few blocks from the gate.

That's what I was figuring.
Good, you can finally take home all of that Zombie Dust that's been collecting dust in my basement.
