Going to a general admission concert, or being in the pit at a concert is a totally different experience than having a seat. General admission definitely has its pros and cons, and usually the cons outweigh the pros for me. If I have the option to get a ticket with a seat, I typically do that. Venues like the House of Blues and Paradise Rock Club in Boston are all general admission. There are floor sections and balcony sections, but there are no seats. Other venues usually have a designated general admission section right in front of the stage, called the pit. I have been in both circumstances, and while the views are great, you have to sacrifice other things to get them.
