So I've been to NYC2,3,4,5,6. GA for 2, 5. Seats for 3,4 and 6. GA for 7,8. I found a great, comfortable spot for NYC5 in GA and was in nowhere envious of anyone on the rail... Got in line at 610p, got inside at 645p. Always had space around me, etc.
This show is meant to be seen for 30+ ft back. This show is setup to play to the 20000 people in the room, and not the 50-100 people on the rail upfront. And that's why it is so good.....
My 12-year old son (he went to NYC3, 4), is going to his first GA show on Thursday. (Luckily he's sprouted up in the past year). He has no idea.... (Though he'll probably complain about standing for 4+ hours).
I'll probably be arriving on the train from Mineola around 608p on Thursday/Friday... I actually made the 1104p train to Mineola yesterday. Though I do have to say the exit process of MSG is awful from upper levels.
