Third row is great. You're still totally close to the Boys. And, much as I love them, I'd rather save my $500 to... I don't know, pay my housing dues...

Huh... At our's it's A-Z before double letters on floor...

I think it depends on the venue... You have to do your research beforehand which I failed to do. So I was like Hmm.. Row D? Kick ass! I have 4th row seats. Nahh doesn't work that way...

Yea i don't think there's THAT much difference between 3rd and 1st. When I saw Nick on the Now or Never tour we wound up somewhere between 3rd and 4th rows and I was practically dying, so I'd be happy with that.

I think so too. :D  But hey, the girls on my forum love it!

But do you think they really enjoy it as much as we do? I think that might be a bit difficult.

I have to say I had incredible seats for both of my BSB concerts At Radio City I was in the fourth Row and Hershey I was in the 8th row center. ALtough I had one annoying fan keep putting a sign up every time one of the guys even came reomtely close to us and yes it was one of the crazy Ld fans her nickname is CAM lmao :)

There's really little difference from like the first five or six rows up...

I held his hand at one point because I pushed my way to the front... Best time ever.

Huh... At my show, they said I couldn't bring my sign in because the Boys were afraid people would get papercuts...

You were at the Radio City concert Mare? So was I, but I was WAAAY back in like 26th row or sumthin.

I did get to go to soundcheck though which was pretty suh-weet! And I got to give Nick a shirt which he put on his head immdiately. It was pretty awesome... Then my 'friend' who is prolly another LDer (major psycho) had to embarass us AND Nick completely. It was interesting...

Aww yup I was there but I think I was probably one of the only people who didn't get into a soundcheck lol I actually didn't realize how close I would be until we kept getting closer and closer I was off to the side (Where Brian walked up and Howie) but 4 rows in to the side was really really close lol

And Dee they didn't allow signs in Radio City I don't think but they did at Hershey.

Actually at Radio City there weren't too many people in the SC. I think there were 30 of us max. I think that was because it was early on in the tour before certain people realized that if they begged security and made nice with the bodyguards they could slip in. I think at RC all the contest winners were the only ones in. My friend won the passes and took me which I was thankful for. It was a really cool experience that I wish wasn't abused, so that everyone could get the chance to experience it.

Howie came out before mine to talk about his sister. I walked into the arena when he came on stage, it was a surprise.

Huh... You would think they would worry about paper cuts at all their shows...

I thought they didn't allow them at RC since it was indoors. I guess signs are allowed at outdoor venues cuz there's more room?

aww same here lol I'm glad you got to experience that. I just got annoyed because it seemed like it was always the same people getting into all the soundchecks. YOu know the people i'm talking about. The ones hwo get in good with the body guards just to get closer to the boys. It was annoying lol

Oh I know Mare... I know VERY well. Living so close to NYC definitely sucks because of a certain group of fans who tend to go to anything w/the boys in the entire state of NY. I used to really get upset cuz I went through that phase where I wanted to meet the guys really badly and I somewhat suceeded, but it was a frustrating process cuz certain fans just monopolize the guys and then bad mouth them behind their backs. It's just not worth it anymore... I went throuh a phase where I was rubbing elbows w/ a few of them and I just could never get comfortable. I felt like you were constantly having to watch out for the moment you were stabbed in the back. I'm not sure if there is another tour if I'd let myself get so involved.
