I pulled up an Orchestra ticket about 45 minutes into the NIN.com pre-sale. So, yay for back to back shows!

While you can get there via public transit (train from Union Station to Irvine, two mile walk and a ride on the OCTA 90 bus), I don't think you can get back because those won't be running by the time the concert ends. LA public transit isn't all that great on the weekend, late at night, and not in downtown LA (as in, no buses running). I think that you need a car or a friend with a car.

ORCH P, Row 3, Seat 87. May be in the GA pit according to the layout on the select-a-seat map on Live Nation.

Did anyone get a ticket that was definitely for the PIT? As opposed to a near-front orchestra row that might be in a pit section?

We got decent seats in row T, and very excited. Coming from Boston, spending the weekend going to this show and the Hollywood Bowl, any advice? Never been to the venue? Is there a meet up?

My advice is to get to Irvine early. Traffic on a Friday in LA is a pain in the ass; I usually get to Irvine around 3 and then chill in a bookstore for a few hours. Also, if you park at the venue, be prepared to spend the first hour after the concert in the parking lot. I'm not a particularly big fan of this venue, but I didn't want to hit Chula Vista instead because I'm already seeing the show in Mansfield with some friends from college.

Cynimuse, are you going to Mansfield too? I live in Boston and will be there as well. I will probably take the first flight out on Friday, so I'll get in LA around 11 AM. Plenty of time to check into my hotel and get to the show. Are there any restaurants around Irvine?

cynicmuse
03-21-2014, 04:26 PM
Yep, I'm going to Mansfield, though I'm not looking forward to being outside in the summer. I went to college in Boston, so I like to hit shows in the area (last time was LITS in Manchester, NH). There are plenty of places to eat in Irvine; there's a shopping mall (Irvine Spectrum Center (http://www.shopirvinespectrumcenter.com/Directory)) close to the venue that has a bunch of fast food and sit down joints.

And if technology permits...recording a bit for THROW IT AWAY's next episode!
[Look for the banner the resembles the avatar to the left. WARNING though: the banner isn't huge, so you may miss it]

Maybe it could be fun for us to organize this tailgate for maximum tailgatingness?
[I've only been there once last year, so am not overly familiar with the parking lot. Can we plan it out to settle in a particular part of the parking?]

Has anyone figured out if this is a GA Pit or not? My ticket from the pre-sale is listed as ORCH P, I selected the pit during the pre-sale, but there is no corresponding section shown on the LiveNation map. Have there been any GA pits yet on this tour? I know there was one other venue on the East Coast that looked like it might have a GA pit but never followed up to see how that turned out.

I think that everything has been seats. I know that the area that should have been a pit in Mansfield was seats.

Does anyone know if lawn chairs are allowed in the lawn area. Not that I'll be using then during NIN but I'm planning to get there pretty early. Is that a no-no in terms of etiquette?

I went to a show there last year in the lawn area and don't remember seeing people with chairs. I'm also not sure if chairs would work in the lawn area-there's a big downward slope that makes sitting on your ass tolerable, but standing is not that fun. Your chair would be sloped forward a good amount I would think.

My advise: check the venue's site for lawn regs and/or get to the front of the lawn section: the fence works great for leaning on. Also wear comfy shoes!

It seems to me that it would be a safety issue with drunk, high energy, raging fans to have lawn chairs readily available.

Found this for the lawn chairs if anyone was still curious:

Small lawn chairs (no more than 6 inches from the seat to the ground) and blankets/towels (no larger than 4’x4’) are permitted for most shows. These are subject to change per show, please contact VWA Office at 949-855-8095 for more info.

I was kinda hoping they'd put some terrace seats on goldstar or a discount site considering there are hundreds still on livenation but guess i'll have to work some magic at the venue tomorrow. I heard the box office may let you upgrade from lawn to seats for a small charge ($10?) once you have your ticket scanned.

I'm not thrilled with my Soundgarden presale tickets... Top right of loge 1, directly in line with the subwoofers. I might bale on Soundgarden since I barely made it through their set in Mansfield, and there I was in the center. Also, Soundgarden is late. I'll be pissed if they cut NIN's set short. I'm not sure if this place has a curfew.
edit: there's an 11pm curfew... and SG is now 20 minutes late and counting.
