<p>Sooo. I actually have never been inside the Greek Theater even though I lived in Foothill my entire frosh year (sad I know) but my friend and i really wanna see Maroon 5 this Sunday. </p>
<p>But the best seats they have left are lawn for $40+$10 (convenience). Can you even see the stage from the lawn and how early should i show up at the tix office if the show starts at 6 and i want the best spots i can salvage? also, can i get good pics on my digital camera from the lawn? its a canon sd 1100 with 8.0 megapixels and 3X zoom. and how how about acoustics from that high up-if it sounds vague and far away, i could just listen to a cd rather than throw down $50...</p>
<p>whoa-i didnt even know guys like Maroon 5! so have you been for any concerts up there? how are the lawn seats? i saw a clip of arcade fire on youtube but i couldnt really tell where the lawn was</p>
<p>hey meow, that really hurts meow feelings meow.
only been there once and wasn’t at the lawn seats. i heard it’s pretty steep, but you can get a good/decent view if you get there early enough to take a spot at the bottom of the hill. dunno about sound and much else though. someone here probably has sat there, but they’re just not on.</p>
<p>Waiting -Difficult to take photos because bright stage lights and you’re far away.
May not allow cameras in, read the Greek rules.
If you have never been to a concert, it is about the energy of the crowd and the performer.
IMHO, not worth $50 for the tix you describe unless you are going with a group pf friends.
Standing with a bunch of strangers or obnoxious people is the worst.</p>

Go to the Greek Theatre website and under Tickets and Info, click General Policies…
No cameras or recording devices allowed
Sorry, bro thought so.
People record on their phones</p>
<p>The lawn is pretty steep. If you’re going to get lawn seats, I’d recommend getting there early to snag a spot right at the bottom where it’s fairly flat. Sucks that you have to deal with the lawn. I saw Arcade Fire on Sunday and it was all GA, and my friend and I got very lucky with finding just enough room in the first row of seating. I didn’t actually go up to the lawn, but the view was clear from just below the lawn, so I’d assume you’d have a good view.</p>
<p>If you’re a guy, they won’t bother checking you for anything. They just scan your ticket. If you’re a girl, I’d assume they check your purse, but I really doubt they are strict about the camera policy. Once you’re in there’s barely any security anyway.</p>
<p>Have fun though! It’s a nice place to see a concert.</p>
<p>When I went to see Vampire Weekend, I brought a tiny little purse with a camera, phone, and wallet. I saw their signs so I stuck my camera at the bottom underneath my wallet. All they did was clutch the sides of my purse, looked through the top, and said I was good to go.</p>
<p>yeah, i think ill be able to sneak my camera in-or at least imma try. </p>
<p>pyroza: how early do you mean by early? its starts at 6…so is 12 considered early or like 5:30 early? and did others bring a book to read in line? i still have reading to do this weekend and i cant fall behind but i dont wanna look like a total nark.</p>
<p>I don’t really know. I got there around 7:15 when the opener started at 7, which is why I got really lucky with seats. The lawn was still fairly empty, so a half hour before show time would probably adequate.</p>
<p>yeah except Maroon 5 is going be with one republic, so maybe try an hour/hour+.5 before? I mean you can go see what time people line up for Jack Johnson tomorrow. </p>
<p>Golly, imagine if Bruno Mars was also coming up</p>
<p>Omg I totally forgot about OneRepublic/Ry Cuming? but does the show including the opening acts still start at 6 though or is that only when M5 gets on?</p>
<p>I’m dying to go, but the tickets are 70 bucks for lawn now. Boooooooooooo Should’ve bought them at the beginning of the school year like I wanted…then again, i just found out that I have a research paper outline due next week and I haven’t even though of a topic. I found someone to go with at least, but gagaga so much $$$ (and on a Sunday too). </p>
<p>Oh and everything starts at 6. I’ve only been to one concert (and a lot of comedy shows) and it’s usually opening acts at 6 and then main person/band come on.</p>
