I bit the bullet and bought an on stage g/a ticket for July 7. From the couple videos I saw it didn't look too far off to the side. Says you get early entrance into the venue so hopefully get a spot up against the railing. Should be interesting. I bought onstage GA too (best price for quality of ticket). Does anyone know if GA is let in earlier or able to line up?I am wondering what time I should get there. Planning to see the boys this year and was having this same question! Would also love to hear if anyone here has any more details/experience/tips on this seating. Thanks P.S. Stage left or stage right? Both seem like an equal challenge in terms of interacting with the band, but I am leaning toward stage left...

The first show I saw in Vegas April 2019, my husband and I were in the pit in the middle of the catwalk. It was a fun experience and obviously you're right in the action. Even re-met someone from a 2003 Aerosmith concert when you used to be able to meet all 5 members and have your picture taken with them. This guy is in my picture.
The other 3 times in 2019, once on Joe's side about 4 seats off the catwalk and about 7 rows back, and 2 times on Tom's side right at the catwalk (about 5 rows back). That was a much better experience and was able to interact with Tom and Brad.
This time we have seats at the end of the catwalk, 2nd row, right in the middle for both shows.

I did the on-stage seating towards the end of the Vegas run in July. It was awesome to be on the stage. I got there super early to make sure I was one of the first. The front of it isn't as long as you think as back then part of it was roped off for VIPs so the front of it isn't as long as if you were standing behind people in a row 2. Brads side even with being like 4th in was a tad obstructed due to Bucks equipment being there. Joe's side didn't have any obstructions (I did 1 show on each side). Last time, they gave you an ipod that had Steven's mix and the actual bands mix. You could go back and forth. That doesn't seem to be happening on this run based on the current description. I pulled out a ghetto sign the first night requesting one way street. Tom saw it and mouthed to me it wasn't on the set list. If you have any questions feel free to ask and I'll do my best to remember. Definitely worth it at least once. If you don't want to stand behind people, get there super early.

Very cool that you were able to get some interaction with Tom, I am glad to know he still enjoys that sort of thing. How early would you recommend getting there, if I may ask?

Very cool that you were able to get some interaction with Tom, I am glad to know he still enjoys that sort of thing. How early would you recommend getting there, if I may ask? I don't remember exactly what time I showed up. My guess would be knowing me, 2 to 2 1/2 hours before they let you in. I did email the box office asking where the line is and what time they will let you in. If you don't mind standing behind people then you probably don't need to get their so early. I just wanted to be one of the first in to not have that super tall person blocking my view. From what I remember, after your ticket is scanned, for Joe's side, you line up at the first section entrance in the concourse. For Brad's side, you go to the last section entrance in the concourse and someone was there from the venue. You wait in line even more, then they lead you to the stage. When waiting in any line, everyone was really friendly. No issues asking to hold your spot in line if you need the bathroom before you get to the on-stage part. I ended up going to the shows solo since my friend isn't into Aerosmith. I'm debating going to one of the July shows. Not sure I want to make the trip for not the whole band. Or maybe I'll see what the sets are and plan for a show later in the run. Last time, I really wanted to go as I thought they would be my final Aerosmith shows. If they were, I have no complaints or regrets going and doing the on-stage standing.

From Italy for istance you only need a negative test upon arrival. Be careful because music venues require negative tests as well, usually no older than 48 hours.
