I have never been there. I'm going to Thursday's show, and read online that one of the best places to watch the show, is on the balcony. That it comes very close to the stage area, just high up.

Is that true, and is it Standing Only, or are there seats up there?

Do they sell booze there, and are there any tables, or will it just be a giant empty room?

Also, have read about this Korean "dive" called Arang, which is supposedly quite good, and reasonable. And Cheap Beer to boot. Anybody ever been there?

Anyways, this was my first post. I will try to post over the weekend, when I return, while it's still hopefully fresh in my mind. Looking forward to reading any posts tonight, as I'm leaving early Friday.

...yes, there is a balcony. It runs length wise on one side of the building from the stage to the back of the room. There is a bar upstairs and typically there are tables on the balcony which can make it difficult to get close enough to the edge of the balcony to see the stage unobstructed.

The floor area is pretty big and you can generally see the stage from even in the back unless you are really short. I suggest you get there as early as possible. I'd check out the upstairs area first and then head down to the floor if the balcony is full (you can probably squeeze up close to the stage as the room fills up).

When you go in, you will go up a set of stairs. I think there's a big picture of the Who on the wall right at the top. TURN LEFT and go straight down the hall, you'll see the stairs going up to the balcony. Oh, there are also two bars in the main area (one under the balcony and one at the very back of the hall). Can't tell you about Arang. Have fun!!!
