why yes it is, and in fact people sitting in the front pit will be expected to serve folks in the back half of the floor. why anyone would spend $975 to $1525 for the priviledge is beyond me. the tips can't be that good.
what? i don't see any bar..
this is the same setup they had earlier this year at verizon... basically at one point jon comes out and walks on that semicircle and sings a song (in my case the worse longest cover of hallellujah imaginable)..
then the other band members come out and stand on that semicircle and do some ridiculous folkie song (tico plays the accordion!!!!!!!
then at the end jon will go into that area of the pricey seats and take pictures with the people who forked over the cash (all the while singing)..
its a pretty ingenous way of maximizing cash
i have to say most of the indie artists worshipped on this board would do the same thing if they could get anyone to pay that kind of money.. in the modern world its all about the benjamins.. if you got them you're good and if you don't fuck you.
