Which is better? tickets from the NPG club or TM?

OK - I'm going to 4 shows already (I know I'm crazy - but can't help it) and all those seats are from the music club - so this one which will be my last purchase - should I go through ticketmaster - to see the whole stage show or just get them through the club. I don't know what to do. I've asked people at the NPG club and they all loved their seats - so I don't know what to do.

Thanks in advance!!

If you're seeing multiple shows, I recommend seeing at least one of them from a bit farther out in the house (in other words, get TicketMaster tix). The night after I was right up next to the stage in Champaign, I was in the 19th row in Indianapolis - nothing's gonna compare to being in the first row, but it was really, really cool getting a view of all the action, plus getting a look at the video screens. Being up close is cool, but the stage is so high and with it being in the round, there's a whole lot that you miss. So NPGMC is better for good good good tix - but if you're seeing a bunch of shows and can stand being a little farther out for just ONE of those shows, I'd say go with TicketMaster at least once.

OK - thanks to everyone for their advice!!! I'm waiting to see who's coming with me. If it's somone who never saw Prince I'll do TM. I've been front row and it's great - but it's cool to see the whole stage!!!

Thanks

no, don't get me wrong - floor tickets are very cool to have - you're right up there next to the action and it's an amazing experience. but from farther out, you get a view of absolutely everything, whereas when you're close to the stage (which is kind of high up/tall), some of the action disappears from your line of sight. also, you don't get a view of the video screens at all, and lemme tellya, they're doing a GREAT job of following prince with those cameras from up above the stage.

i say if you can get the floor seats, go for it - it's exciting. but if the choice is nosebleeds or nothin', you'll have a good time with the nosebleeds...and yeah, you'll have a view that the folks up close won't have.

it's plusses and minuses both ways. that's why i say try to do both if you can.

nod to what was said above. For future shows on this tour, I think I would like to experience the seats in the first sections going up the sides so that I can view the entire stage. However, I loved my 3rd row floor seats through NPGMC - it was a great experience to be on the floor with all the diehards!
