Yep, you had to be 18 to begin with (to get in the pit), and I had to sign a waiver stating that I wouldn't sue them if I got killed down there. And they TOOK my ticket stub and traded it for a green plastic bracelet. =( But, I got the setlist =) so I suppose it all evens out.

Didn't Pine Knob (or whatever they're calling it now) only have actual seats down front too? I was pregnant with Dustin for that show, so we opted for lawn tickets on the assumption it'd be a safer place to be, plus easier exit if it started getting too rowdy for me.

And to consolidate a couple posts... I recall someone asking about taking kids to shows with them. There were quite a few younger kids at the Pine Knob show, probably some as young as 5 or 6. However, I'm not sure I'd recommend taking younger kids - iirc, Days of the New opened up at that show, and Travis Meeks has a hell of a mouth on him. (And that's NOT a compliment). I realize that most kids have already heard that type of language by age 5, but I still wouldn't want to intentionally subject my five year old to it, personally. Not to mention the massive number of people who were smoking pot all around - you could almost get high just trying to breath. I wouldn't mind taking Jayson with me to concerts when he's older, assuming he and I like the same kind of music (and right now he's a HUGE Metallica fan, so that part is looking good), but I plan on waiting a few more years for anything beyond the level of Disney on Ice.

Subject: Re: No GA

I remember when they banned GA after the Who incident. I don't know when they opened the stadiums back up for it. But of all the Creed show's I've been too....the only one I had seat tickets for was at the Palace here in Detroit. And that's only because the TM salesclerk was a moron! They had GA floor available though....Tara was down there! They made you sign a waiver though....if you were going in the pit!
