Thanks very much, Thirsty and Markie.  You are both scholars and gentlemen.  Two day passs for me.  And very cheap, considering.

i don't see how they'll do the show without seats... my recollection is that there are typical arena seats bolted to the floor.  which means if you want to have good seats for morrissey, people will need to be camped out in them the minute the gates open.
 
 looking at the seating chart there is orchestra pit where seats are often of the folding kind which can be easily removed.  but thats only the first five rows of the venue which can't hold more than 75 to 100 people.
 
 maybe seth can tell us how the seatings working...

I'd be stunned if this was general admission. I'd like that to be the case, but I know those seats are in fact bolted and what a pain it would be to take them out for just 2 shows in the middle of the summer season. And I'm sure that some people would actually prefer seats (not me). I'm hoping though that my general admission seats actually mean the pit if that's the case. We'll see

They're probably taking the seats out to save the Lollapalooza crowd from having to do it themselves.

Makes me think of the infamous Lollapalooza in Chicago in 1992 when the crowd went nuts during Ministry's set, ripped up the lawn, and generally just destroyed the place. Somehow I don't think Morrissey will be encouraging people to do that. At the old Great Woods in Boston, people ripped out all the sod and after that Lollapalooza was NOT invited back.

My printed ticket has a row and seat location.  But the row is numeric and MPPs rows are alphabetic.

How did you get a printed ticket already?

They have an e-mail delivery option ($3.50)

pure speculation on my part... but i wonder if it's because of the two day pass tickets everything is being sold as general admission.  when buying the tickets the system will give you the best seats for both shows at the same time.  i.e. the seats for day one could be in a different location from day two.  which is good because you could get bumped farther back if it's trying to place you in the same seats for both shows.
 
 so if day one is selling faster than  day two for single sales and two day passes, the system is handling them as they come in and assigning them as ga. speeding up processing time up it then assigns the actual seats  at the time the tickets are printed based on of course when you ordered the tickets.

I think festival shows should be all GA.  Not everybody wants to see every band.
 
 I just wonder how they will handle it with the seats.

Good point...if I was going I'd just show up in time for Moz, and probably make as grand an entrance!

Yes, and my motto for the car is "put out or get out."
