Either option would be great, I'm sure.

Do you care about standing for hours and hours? What's the price difference?
If you're in the pit, I'd assume if you want a spot either right up front or up against it, you'd have to get in fairly early.
I did the Vegas side stage tickets 4 years ago and it is a lot of standing between arriving super early to be up front and for the show. If you needed the bathroom everyone was super nice and held your spot. That may not be the case for your show in the pit.
I doubt there is a wrong choice.

devils744: Almost all the shows I have ever seen were GA and I was right at the barrier. Never had any issues when it came to asking people to hold my spot if I went to the merch stand or a M&G. I wouldn't expect anything different in the pit. lulabastet: It depends. On what your body can take, on what you prefer. Personally, I prefer to be standing with a tall, solid object to lean on/ hold on right in front of me. But no people in front of me. I don't want to be with my nose in someone else's hair and I don't want to worry about hitting someone in the head. As it has already been mentioned, being in front in the pit may involve a lot of waiting, perhaps standing, perhaps feeling like a canned sardine when it's time to get in and everybody's pushing from behind. I arrived at 9 in the morning for both Aerosmith shows I saw on the most recent tour in Europe (9 to 9 and a half hours of waiting at the gates) and I wasn't even the first person there on either of the occasions.

I've been in both the pit and the front row for American shows. You did have to stand for the pit, but you're going to stand during the show anyway. I stood at the back because you can see more if the action. Front row is fun because you interact with the band, but you can't see the video screens well or what goes on behind you.

I’m old and I need to sit so I would choose the front row. When I was younger I would be pit for sure. I stand for most of the show, but sometimes you need to sit down for a few.

There, listen to Ana. She knows that stuff. I wanted to write something, but she already said everything that needed to be said. Let me maybe just add to this, that we (me and her too, I guess) were mostly "camping" in front of the venue gates in European summers. If you are thinking about doing the same for the oncoming USA fall/winter tour... That will be a whole different animal altogether.
