I believe the majority of that type of seating has been taken up by the general admission purple pit area, but it still may reflect as an ticket option.

I think those are sections A, B, C, D and E on the Ticketmaster map.

Sections B, C, E and H. Not a whole bunch of seats here -- especially since all the former seats in back are now the GA section. Also note that sections A and D are VIP and the $210.

Non-VIP Floor Seating is A, B, C, D and those two Sections at the back that keep changing letters the two that flank what is the Purple Pit now.

It's anything on the floor that is not at the VIP tables 1, 2, 3, 4.

The risers kind of fall in that category and are considered premium seats and I think most of those risers sell for $25 off Ticketmaster and fans and brokers snap those up and hike up the price.

The risers are NOT my favorite seats. You're actually further away from the stage then a low loge seat in 29, 30, 32...the spacing between rows is very narrow and somewhat uncomfortable and your viewing angle is rather flat and doesn't allow for viewing the stage which is actually a cool part of the presentation. And the PA sounds better when you are seated higher and further away than lower and closer, IMO.

I've sat on the floor (Sec D), risers, upper loge and lower loge. The floor seat was FANTASTIC because when P came to the front or sat at the piano he was literally feet away from you. But you sacrifice viewing that stage and you can't see the interaction between the musicians which if you play, is an important element...the eye contact and visual cues. The lower loge is also great for closeness and you sit a little higher so you get that view of the stage. Believe it or not, the way the stage is situated in the round, an upper loge seat is also great. You sacrifice some of the closeness factor but the sound is heavenly...that brother got a PA system to die for. Fantastic sound & mix.

It is true... kinda. I believe some of the floor seats that used to be behind the stage (it's now the Purple Pit) were going for $25. And now The Forum seems to be selling unsold floor seats around the backsides of the stage (I believed they were called sections E and F last weekend) for $25. In fact, four hours before the show, I got two seats in the front row of section E for $25 each, but I had to go directly to The Forum box office to buy them. Bottom line: check Ticketmaster and The Forum boxoffice the day of the show for last-minute sales.

Yeah, I got 4 Tix for $25 on the floor section G for the Friday 4/22 show over the phone with Ticketmaster (TM) a few days before the concert & the agent on the phone said they just "popped" up and they hadn't been there earlier.
I think Live Nation releases $25 tix periodically over many days. Just my opinion because they keep "popping" up for the TM agents I speak to.
Also, when I was using TM's automated search u can search by seat location and one option was "Riser for $25" but I was unable to get any of those cause they go first. They get snapped up & sold on other sites for a jacked up price.
