Hello all.
Well, I decided today was the day to share some of my precious knowledge with the rest of you fellas.
I wouldn’t really consider this "how to" an egg but this was probably the most relevant directory I could find.
Well, the concerts I’ve been going to lately have been big, dome concerts where tens of thousands of people show up.
With this, it’s tough for the security guards to keep track of who’s sitting where (Besides the fact that most security guards are also just massive dolts).
So this leads me to:
The two ways to score yourself sweet seats
1) Earlier this year, I pulled up a sneaky trick that hooked up not only me but 12 other friends with some of the best seats in the house.
First off, my friend is a security guard so he upgraded mine and two of my friends’ tickets. Once the 3 of us got seated, I took all the tickets, left the section and called my friends to come down. I brought in 2 people at a time and eventually 10 of them made it in and found empty seats. (Empty seats are usually company owned seats, or simply people that don’t show up in the end).
However, I know most of you don’t have ’hook-ups’ like this. Basically, all you really need to do is get one person to tell the guard of that section that you need to ask your friend a question. Once you’re in, find a couple of people already seated (it would help if you knew them) and ask to borrow their tickets (maybe offer money). Use the tickets to get you and your friends in and return the tickets... Find empty seats and get settled.
Another way to do this is to walk in in between performances. Usually, during breaks, security don’t check tickets as people go in and out to get food.
2) This next step only works at some concerts that offer this. What you will be doing is aiming for ’pitt seats’. Pitt seats are basically the top seats in the house that either don’t get sold through v.i.p. sales or tickets that really aren’t available online. In most cases, pitt seats are offered in the building when doors open. What you need to do is figure out whether or not the event offers pitt seats. If they do, get to the event well before doors open and try to be one of the first in line. After that, run in and look for a backdrop of the band/artist. I don’t know exactly if it would be a merchandise booth, but anyways, ask about the pitt seats. You may have to end up paying an addition 20 or so dollars but it’s well worth it. Not many people have heard of Pitt Seats which is why it’s not a very popular trick.
That sums up the egg.
By the way, all these tricks involve having a ticket to get in the show. All you’re really doing is upgrading your seats.
I know this isn’t a very good egg. I don’t have any other ideas. Because of this, I don’t care about the ratings.

Dec 03, 2007 8:02 pm - woah.. the ratings are a buttload better than I thought.
Yea I used to go to a bunch of rock concerts. I still do from time to time.
But lately, I’ve kind of grown from the whole mosh scene.
I’m taking it easy now.
Dec 04, 2007 8:15 am - I went to an Interpol concert last friday. Got chased by a steward for railing some Charlie of one of the subwoffers! I have nothing else of and interest to add.
Dec 05, 2007 4:44 pm - This is decent info. But if your that determined and willing to pay you should just pay attention to when tickets go on sale and get good tickets in the first place. I went to see the Foo Fighters a little while back and I got an amazing spot, I had floor seats and got there pretty early and was like 1 person away from the barrier. here are a few pics:(sorry they are hella blurry because I took them with my cell phone.
Dec 14, 2007 6:02 pm - good idea, i just went to an interpol concert back in October, we had balcony seats but we ended up being able to get on the floor. 5*
Dec 19, 2007 8:41 am - Its got a good reasoning behind it but i tried it not to long ago at a screamo concert and nearlyl got thrown out. oh well its good advice though. Normally if im trying to get into a pit though there are no seats... and if thats the case i just jump the pit fence, run for the curcle pit and hope to god a bouncer dont get in my way.
Dec 21, 2007 12:13 am - Some good ideas. 5* I’ve been to a lot of concerts, myself, and have been able to ’upgrade’ also. Usually, it works best, like you said, right after the breaks between bands.
