The GC is behind the catwalk and holds about 5.000 people. Inside the catwalk is the DC with the rich mother****ers and fans from Backstage who have bought tickets there and didn't have to purchase the VIP packages. If you're doing "just" one show I suggest buying a GC ticket, yes it's more expensive, but you'll be kicking yourself when you could've been closer to the stage at that one show you're going to but have ended up somewhere in the back, not being able to see the band movements at all apart from what's shown on the screens.

The closer to the show you are, the more people are willing to sell it for under face value. I've bought GC tickets for Dusseldorf on eBay for 82E including shipping while face value is over 110E excluding shipping. The fact that an area is sold out doesn't make a difference, when there's about 8.000 people in GA area there'll always be about 100 who can't go or have bought a ticket to scalp it, then fail etc.

What you should keep in mind though is that if you lose that auction you're looking at it'll mean you've wasted 6 days of waiting til the auction has ended, and then will have to look for another one, which might mean another week of waiting, and then, if you win it, another week of waiting til your ticket arrives. Also, keep in mind that you're not the only one bidding, make sure you're behind your computer when it's 5 minutes before ending as you might be overbid in the last minute(s).

Salaam Aleikum,
