Section 322
I'm considering settling for these seats...I'm not a big risk taker when it comes to tickets--I want tickets, now.

Are these terrible seats? Would I be able to see the guys at all? Would it be worth it?

voodoopug you will not be able to see a thing from there, very poor sightlines from there. if you are in need to purchase a ticket now, may i suggest going to Doug's board (www.shidoobee.com) and look under the post for the Chicago dates and see if a fellow fan is selling one.

The obvious alternative is to wait until the day of/before the show and wait for ticket drops. Typically though, mostly top dollar (in chicago, $453 plus fees) are the ones released.

Hope I have been of some help.

Paulcarr87 Rolling Beatle, yes those are bad seats but for $60 tickets they are worth buying if your main goal is to get inside the door. When Mick goes to your side of the stage, you will have a better view of him than other balcony people who paid 160 or 99.

Rolling Beatle So what will I be able to see? No screens or anything, correct?

Is the sound still good there?

Sound will be average, but echoed. You will see the backs of the band, but probably not Charlie. There will be plenty more tickets released for this show, but if you are looking to get into the door as cheaply as possible, this is the way to do it, but you will not be happy with the view/sound.

Rolling Beatle Do Mick and Keith ever go to the side of the stage to keep the unfortunate people entertained?

a few times each show (Tumbling Dice, Brown Sugar, and JJF) they go to the sides, but the seats you mention are behind the stage and unless they bring back the cherry picker from the 81 tour...its not looking good!
