Austin, Texas

Well after a lot of searching on the internet I could never find any pit seats. I called the Performing Arts Center box office (again) & I found out that pit tickets were NEVER made available. This means that if you have a row A ticket, you are front row!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meaning there literally won't be a pit at all and they'll take those seats out? Or they just haven't sold them (yet). Thanks for the info either way!

no effing way! that's ME! fuck yeah. are u sure?


EDIT: Ok! Out of skepticism I called them. Youre 100% right. the first three rows are gonna be taken out and the floor is going to be raised to stage level! so i dont think there will be like any standing room in front of row A, but we will see. maybe it will be chaos!

whats gonna happen there then though? wont there be a gap to be filled?


yeah wait though! yeah i have been looking around online like ever since the tickets went on sale and most sites were selling pit tickets. but now i see that all the sites have their best seats as orch row A-C etc....

So you saw pit seats for sale for Austin at some point? I looked over the weekend and have only seen ORCH seats. I didn't know if I'd missed the row 1,2, & 3 seats or if there never were any on eBay or stubhub.

oh yeah no i think i made a mistake, i don't believe ive seen pit tickets for it, i confused it with the el paso show. but dont worry the lady just confirmed there wont be a pit. haha she said it as if shes already had to tell a million people the same thing!

Yeah I did but I forget what the seat number is. Tell me again.

I have 103! you have 104! and my friend who wants to switch has seat 130 (which is more towards the middle than ours are).

Hmmmmm, that seat is the first seat in the row far right hun. The middle seat is like 115 or 116. I don't think I want to trade. I would love to help you out, but the first seat. I had the first seat in Merrillville in 2007 & didn't like it. You don't get as much love from Moz.

you're looking at the wrong row. look at row A, not 1-3: http://www.utpac.org/visit/seating_maps#bass

you'll see that the 1st seat in row A is 136, and on the other side it's 101, meaning our 103 and 104 seats are closer to the edge than 130.

I went to the Bass Concert Hall last night and the renovation is amazing. The sound was great and even though I was in row X for this show I had an excellent view. There was not a pit area for this show and row A was at the very edge of the stage. The venue is very grand in scale, but manages to still feel intimate. This will probably be the nicest venue I will ever see Morrissey in and I can't wait!

Was there any type of barrier or security between row A & the stage? I also want to know how tall is the stage from the floor? Thanks!

It depends on where my friends seat is. She has to get her ticket through Stubb Hubb or something like that & she has not bought her ticket yet.

There was not a barrier last night, as I could see people resting their arms on stage. The stage looked to be about shoulder height. By Austin standards, comparable to La Zona Rosa, maybe a bit taller. I saw Broken Social Scene last night, and I don't think their fans are nearly as enthusiastic as Morrissey fans. I'm sure we can expect way more security, I didn't see any at all last night.
As the show will be on the UT campus, I wonder if we can expect a ACL taping?
