    With Pitch 1, you can stand near the back and still be super close without being enveloped in a huge crowd. It's incredibly worth it. You can move around pretty handily too.

    Foos didn't charge for this! Incredibly worth it? It's incredibly stupid to accept this and that's why there is an increase in this practice tbh, friend of mine is 5 foot nothing so is pretty much obligated to have to cough up for her to be able to simply see.

    I'm not saying that I agree with the practice but where it comes down to it, I'm happy to pay a little more to be much closer. So yes, incredibly worth it.

    If they were seated areas, the closer seats would cost more, so it's not wildly out of practice. I'm not going to get pitch two tickets :out of principle' or because I'd be 'stupid to accept it' because I want to be as close as I can and not be miles back unless I turn up bang on doors opening.

    I'm really surprised there aren't clear prices up for the different ticket types yet...

    I assume its because they're going to suprise us with cheaper prices :rolleyes:

    I'd imagine gold circle will be around the 100 mark.

    Pit tickets for their show in LA were 700$......

    Nope a hope it'll be anywhere near that here, what was the starting price for the american shows?

    They had tickets at $40. You're right though, circa 100 for standing I'd say here.

    Not true if you wanted to be on front of stage barrier say you'd have to turn up at doors even with Gold circle, at a regular show getting up close if you want is never an issue even if you arrive before main act comes on. Seating is different you have a reserved a fixed spot with no obstructions and goes without saying...you can sit :p

    They're not. They're the polar opposite.

    I've paid $25 to see the likes of Slipknot, Slayer, Anthrax, Motorhead and a dozen other bands at one festival ..and same for Korn, Rob Zombie, Lamb of God etc.. at another.

    Foo Fighters with Weezer was also only $35.

    I don't know where the other poster saw $200+ for the Hella Mega gig.. they start at $39.50.

    He saw VIP tickets.

    I had a look at the US gigs last night, they had far more variation. Probably 20 price points. Everything from $30/$40 in the top tiers to $300 for the best seats

    Just got mine there.

    Bear in mind there is a Green Day presale at 11am and then MCD tomorrow - probably small allocations for all 3 pre sales.
