Reply to comment by arclight222 in Traveling from Nova Scotia to see Lamb of God in September, curious how the "pit" work at the Maine Savings Amphitheatre, it looks VERY narrow! Thanks :) by TheHimmelMan

I do have VIP tickets, restricted will be interesting when they've called it "The Pit"... maybe they're unlcear of what that means.

When no one can enter the pit does the entire venue become the pit?

it did when I went to see Tool at the waterfront. By the end, nobody was in their assigned seating.

Maybe :)

I believe it's all seating outside of "The Pit" and "The Lawn" though...

I mean every venue and show calls that area at the front "pit", but Bangor events this summer have slashed the size and the number of folks allowed in and replaced it with corporate VIP boxes and additional seating. As for the restricted idea, I have no clue, but assume it's so they can eject people more easily assuming their secuirty can brave their way in.

Yeah they made the lawn fucking suck. It’s nuts to butts on the hill now, abd while I don’t mind it being a little crowded I shouldn’t have so little room I can’t even drink my beer because I can’t move my arms
