And i know i'm late as the tour is already over.

Anyway: is GA the floor of the venue? "General Admission"?
What does it look like over in the US?

Over here, i went to see a rock concert in a hall, and they had these iron bars put together (you know, like you see them in the movies) and only room for one person at a time to get through the spot (which was guarded by security who checked your ticket), up the stairs and through the door into the venue.
There was a lot of interest, the show was sold out, and needlessly to say, everyone started pushing forward and shoving as soon as the security opened the spot. Not good if you're not a tall person (like me).
I didn't bring any cameras as i was afraid the security measures would be harsh and i didn't want the camera to be taken away from me by the security guys.
Surprisingly, the security guy just checked my ticket and let me right in! I had a small purse, and he didn't do absolutely nothing about it.
Also, the tickets had no relevance as to the seating order as everyone sat down wherever they wanted to. Me and the people i went with went to the seats at the sides of the hall, and there was the floor section in the middle. We could have easily been on the floor.
Nevertheless, i had a great time (clapped and sang along) and never sat down during the 2 and a half hour show.

So...is that what "GA" looks like?

Is "Golden Circle" the heart that was used in the Elevation tour? Or is that a section of the venue reserved for VIPs and celebrities? (some local VIPs and celebrities attended the show i was at, but i had no idea where they were during the show)

GA: Heart and around the heart

GC: Seats around GA

GA = The area in front of the stage, in the Heart and around the Heart on the floor of the venue.

GC = the first row of seats in each section in the stands (bleachers, whatever)

No alarms and no surprises, please.

Ahhh! So - GA is the Heart and the floor, GC are the seats (first row only).

Right?

Thanks for the picture.

Yes! But actually, I mispoke -
GC is the entire first section in the stands off of the floor. (thanks Sicy!)

*squinting at the pic* I think i see a bit of a space between the first (lowest) seats and the fence separating them from the floor. Is that GC?

Wait...i see some space between the back and the sides of the heart and the seats too. Is that GC?

No... that's just extra space.
GC is the entire first level of seating around the floor.

No that's just extra space for security etc and the entrance to the heart.

Ah! That would be the part where the guy on the left side of the picture is sitting, and the folks in white shirts on the right side.
Right?
