Assuming the RZ people can wander into GA (like on 360), it's a good deal. If not, I'd rather do GA - it's split into two zones and narrower so most spots should be good anyway.

I did red zone on 360... I didn't pay for them, alas... It was fantastic. Not sure if worth the price, unless you have a lot of expendable income or really want to donate large sums of money. But the experience it's self was quite good.

Are Red Zone tickets a tax write off (donation)?

Glad I'm not the only one thinking about that!
I agree. If it's next to the B-Stage your're basically paying triple for GA at the back of the floor. I wish there was some clear information on the set up. Is that San Jose map confirmed? All other maps on TM show Red Zone at the other end of the floor.

GA standing. I would say it's like VIP GA.

Standing, but I recall some folding seats on the sides. Arena specs could be different.
I did Red Zone twice for the 360 tour. Both times it was a small corral big enough for about 2-3 rows of people front to back not standing too closely together. Depends on the venue, in Raleigh it was a larger area, in Nashville it was much smaller.
There were small little rectangular folding seats along the back that weren't very comfortable that you could use if you were in the back row whenever you wanted, but everybody was standing during the whole concert.
RZ also had access to the general area and could walk freely between the two.

I wonder if we'll have some of the same issues with last year, when there were some venues that let RZ in before regular GA. Since RZ peeps could go to the into GA it made for some tension.

Agreed. The responsible me will just go for GA'S. But there's a small part of me that wants to splurge.

Not to mention you have access to a private bar for a few pre-show beverages 
Just make sure to get toilet stops done before the show!

Yes, how dare the people who paid hundreds of dollars for AIDS research get to be a foot closer than the guy who hasn't showered in 36 hours.
The RZ last tour was on the sides of the ring. You got a armband so you could exit for bathroom, snacks or whatever.

correct. one of the best parts about RZ was dedicated bathrooms. in toronto's case, right behind the stage about 2 minutes away with NO lines.

I don't recall them giving any info for the 360 Red Zone as to what portion was tax deductible. Theoretically they should.

It's doubtful - the band likely take the tax deduction. One old 360 RZ site is still up and says "The amounts you pay to purchase tickets/packages may not be tax-deductible by you."

Im not a tax consultant, but I do remember reading recently a note on the Bridge School benefit here in the Bay Area that tickets are not tax deductible as the portion that can be deductible must be above a beyond the value of the ticket. Although the tickets are well above the cost of a GA ticket, I bet if you put a GA on the open market its closer to the cost of a RZ + the other added benefits of dedicated area, VIP entry and Bathrooms.

So, from this description - it says nothing about bringing a credit card and gives you an e-mail address to add an alternate pick up name within 10 days of purchase. This is for Toronto.
Same here. Got one for each PHX show in a matter of minutes.
I'm bringing my card. In theory a scalper could re-sell these as long as they add the new name within 10 days
Hmm I chose the "best seat" option for the lower section seating at exactly 12:00 and got section 117 seating. My friend took his sweet time and did the same thing two hours later and got tickets in 106.
This leads me to believe that 106 might be further from the main stage... i hope for my sake because i'll be extremely pissed off if he ends up with better seats!!!

So I had to bump this.
I bought 2 red zone tickets for one of the Phoenix shows for me and my wife.
Are Red Zone even worth it this tour.......

I was sitting in Row 5 just above the Red Zone and that is the best place on the floor to see the show. The advantage to the Red Zone is the ability to stand in front of the reserved section and see everything going on around you. The band members are going all over the stages so it's important to be further enough back to get the overall effect of this incredible show!
Enjoy guys.

Do we know the difference between Red Zone 1 vs Red Zone 2 and which one is North/South? Also curious to see pics from last night in the RZ.

When I bought these RZ tickets, I invested €280 to be placed right in front of the stage.
The location is actually very disappointing, far from the scene and the band.
Live Nation has not provided accurate information to customers.
I consider that such sales methods are unacceptable.
