U2 at Soldier Field...which seats are better?

March 28, 2017 1:20 PM

I got seats to the upcoming U2 show at Soldier field. But I ended up with 4 tix, 2 seated, 2 GA. But GA has a weird code I can't figure out (*GAFL21*). Can you help me figure out which tickets to keep?

I bought the general admission tickets for the U2 concert on 7/4. I figured it was "first come first served" with the general admission. BUT on the ticket it says "in section GAFL21"

I can't find any reference on any map to GAFL21. Does this mean there's going to be like "pens" in the GA area and we're in the area 21?

My OTHER seats are in Sec 111, Row 10. They aren't bad seats by any means. But it seems to be about 2/3 back from GA. So if the GAFL21 is up front guaranteed then these would be worse seats.

Any help appreciated!

Best answer: My GA tickets for Chicago also have a section code, but having done GA for many, many U2 shows in the past, I'm sure it's just a confusing backend code Ticketmaster is using to track sales. Sometimes they have a VIP zone that's closer to the stage, but I'd assume anything other than that is a first-come first-on-the-rail situation.

Oh, here's this to help as well!

Except for the "red zone," which you would know if you had (the price is much higher), the GA is all first come, first serve, as kittyb said - the code is not a zone or area indicator. No guarantees! See y'all in line. :-)
