So. Tool are playing a Melbourne show on Jan 31st, at the Myer Music Bowl. Last time I saw them live was after the release of Lateralus, and I'd really like to see them again.
The best part of the last Melbourne show was the atmosphere out in the crowd, where I spent most of my time as close to the stage as I could survive... The Music Bowl is a strange venue, though - fixed seating up front, with the hill extending way back from the stage. It's back to front from what I'm used to, as the "General Admission" area ought to be right up front.
Gold tickets are for the seating area; Silver tickets are for the grass. The seats will get in the way, but it guarantees getting nice and close. The price is close enough to be negligible.
Who's seen bands in the Music Bowl before? Can anyone recommend one option over the other?
I'll be waiting outside the Ticketmaster office when tickets go on sale at 9am this Friday... I'm just not sure which to get, if they have both available.
