I've seen video from European shows, and the ones from the "Golden Circle" (or whatever it's called in each country) are amazing. I've also seen ones from the back of the field and from the seats, and they aren't so amazing. People are chatting and walking around. They're going for a pee/beer break just like here. Your seating system concentrates the diehards in the front, and sadly, ours does not.

Well in the UK the most expensive seats are in the gold circle but the price isn't much higher than a standard ticket. It'll be interesting to see how the London O2 shows go as it's the first time the American seating system has been used in the UK. They have out priced a lot of people, especially with the floor seats.

And this my friend is really the crux of the situation.

Bruce does GA up front - so if you are a diehard (either American or European - it happens wherever Bruce plays) you can be up front if you are willing to (or can) stand in line early the day of the show.

Bon Jovi only did that during the 2006 summer shows here and you should have heard the bitching and moaning. Oh I can't stand up that long - oh my back hurts - and on and on. Personally I loved it - I was right up front Giants night 2 when Jon sang Dry County - right to me (thanks Kev) :D

The thing that all those people bitching didn't understand was that times had changed. They wanted the fanclub seats assigned right up front the way they had always had them. So they complained enough to get rid of the GA up front and now - all the front SEATS are being sold for tour packages and in auctions for very high prices. The people who can afford those seats are probably not going to be the people who will get into the show in a big way.

And don't bash the old people - you won't catch me sitting down at a concert unless it's the symphony. And believe me - I know every word of every song.

You're right -- it will be interesting to see how it goes. Those prices weren't just insane, they were criminally so, IMHO.

Sounds good, but talk about a butchering of lyrics... though frankly I always thought the "you lost more than that in my backseat baby" line was obnoxious anyways and don't miss it.

As someone who grew up when cars had backseats big enough to lose anything in - I always liked that line LOL.
