Should've played at the Varsity. They'll be on the casino circuit before too long.

Great great show! Amazing! Sorry you had a bad experience with ticketing but the GNR performance was spectacular. They killed it!

I also had center seats in the 2nd level from the top... I was relocated to section 115 to the left of the stage and was elated. Much better seats. Everyone I heard were overjoyed at their relocation. Didn't hear one complaint. The line was long but moved super-fast. The Superdome staff did a great job in my opinion.

Only if you stood in that line with your entire group. They didn't explain to anyone in our group 12 people what the process was so we didn't know we needed to be in that line together so I went to get a beer, wife used the bathroom and we ended up with tickets in 347 while the rest of our group had tickets in 115

No chance. While it wasn't sold out, there was still a huge crowd at the Dome. GN'R is making a killing from this tour. Likely they'll put out another album and do another tour and then ride off into the sunset with loaded bank accounts.

I can't figure out why anyone stood in that line. i just went down the TD plaza level and grabbed some seats about 15 rows up from the floor.

Did Net jump on stage and party with Axl, he was supposedly in the first row so seems likely?

Because SMG staff told them to and most people prefer order to chaos.

Seems like that was popular section people got moved to. I would have preferred to sit in the 347 section seats we were given but the wife wanted to be by her drunk friends.

had no clue as to what was going on, as evidenced by the fact that they had two people trying to reassign the seats of a couple thousand people after the gates opened.

Which nobody knew at the time they arrived and were told to go stand in line. In hindsight, yeah it was stupid to stand in the line. I was moved to 347 but ended up in 115, which I could have done and avoided the line but that was something we didn't know until after we stood in the line.

Where are you getting this info from? From what it sounds like you didn't stand in the line, but I did and I can tell you without question there was more than two people redistributing tickets.
