To tell you the truth that place 
  blows! I don't think they would sell it out 
like the old days? And you 
  have to pay for certain sections if I recall with 
Bauhaus in 2005. I have 
  never seen so many tall people in front of me and my 
buddy at that gig.... 
  We are 5'11 by the way! Everyone was like 6 feet and 
up. Anyway I hope to 
  get good tickets.

+++++

Oh fer Crissakes, will some of you quit 
  the (uninformed) whining?

You don't "pay for certain 
  sections......."  It's almost always one price 
for the floor and one 
  price for reserved seating in the balcony for those 
that don't wanna 
  stand.  The only show they actually had reserved seating on 
the floor 
  was for Lindsey Buckingham a few years ago who drew a geriatric 
audience 
  who *needed* to sit on their asses.  They don't cordon off sections 
  
of the floor except for a small VIP area around the soundboard/mixing desk 
  
area near the back of the floor.  You can move around anywhere you 
  want on 
the floor.

What usually happens is once the show starts, 
  sometimes security will limit 
more people from cramming down to the front 
  especially if it's pretty rowdy, 
but if you're already down front when the 
  show starts and you need to go to 
the restroom or bar, just make sure the 
  security guy you walk past going 
back knows who you are so he'll remember 
  you coming back.  If you're in the 
pit, it's even better because they 
  give you a wristband to come and go as 
you please and once the 150 or so 
  wristbands are given out, they don't let 
anyone else in.

Basically, 
  get there by about 6pm and if it's first come, first served, 
you'll get a 
  great spot, likely in the pit.  A very small number of bands 
charge a 
  higher price or give pit-specific tickets away through their fan 
clubs, 
  but based on Killing Joke's history, I would be shocked if they did 
either 
  option.  Just get there a bit early and you'll be fine.

The only 
  negative I can agree with is yeah, the place is a bit big (holds 
about 
  3,500) but the sound is among the best of any place in Southern 
California 
  big or small and like I said, you can pretty much sit or stand 
anywhere 
  you want depending on how much effort you want to put in to getting 
right 
  up front.

Let's bitch about what we want to hear them include in the 
  2010 
setlist...... THAT, I can get behind.

T.B.
