Ditto, except I am in Europe and cant go to a ticket office. I ended up
balcony nose bleed tickets and I bet there are open seats later.
And to pay for the presales code and end up as far back as you can get.
This has happened many a time, and the good tickets are scalped. I saw
tickets for $1300 a piece in web searchs. I had better seats but then it
needed my ticketmaster account which I had not used for years, had to
disconnect from  public network to work VPN to check email and get login.
I went through several interations and did have floor seats the first time.

Not as bad as the crashed useless server for O2 in 2007, and then to move the
date such that I could not go. That one hurt. I was going to be in London
the Nov date and was teaching in Reading the week of the overloaded server.

Hey at least Page/Plant were into ambient sound and I get to hear that.
And it is not as loud but more shrill. Closer to the wall is better for
bad reflections but who knows. Do they have a large screen of the stage?
