Ok, since the basic NJPAC website has a pretty shitty seating chart, i did some research on a more detailed one. for shows that are not sold out (i.e. most everything else) you can actually order seats by picking on them. From this, i was able to figure out most of the seating

Main



i believe the side seats in the grand, first and second tiers are all corporated owned. for almost every show in the future (even 2009) they were not available for purchase

Orchestra

It looks like the left side (left on this diagram, actually stage right) is the EVEN numbers starting with #2 on the inside and going out. the center section seats look to be > #100 seat number. the seats on the right side (right on this diagram, actually stage left) are ODD and go from #1 and go out to the side



Grand Tier

Seats Start at #100 on the right side (right on this diagram, actually stage left) and go up to about #150 on the left side (left on this diagram, actually stage right). Ignore the blue/green/gold seat colors, that just had to do with the show i was testing at the time (fwiw, Fiddler on the roof).




First Tier

Seats Start at #100 on the right side (right on this diagram, actually stage left) and go up to about #150 on the left side (left on this diagram, actually stage right). Ignore the blue/green/gold seat colors, that just had to do with the show i was testing at the time (fwiw, Fiddler on the roof).



Second Tier

Seats Start at #100 on the right side (right on this diagram, actually stage left) and go up to about #150 on the left side (left on this diagram, actually stage right). Ignore the blue/green/gold seat colors, that just had to do with the show i was testing at the time (fwiw, Fiddler on the roof).



Third Tier

Seats Start at #100 on the right side (right on this diagram, actually stage left) and go up to about #150 on the left side (left on this diagram, actually stage right). Ignore the blue/green/gold seat colors, that just had to do with the show i was testing at the time (fwiw, Fiddler on the roof).




Fourth Tier

Seats Start at #100 on the right side (right on this diagram, actually stage left) and go up to about #150 on the left side (left on this diagram, actually stage right). Ignore the blue/green/gold seat colors, that just had to do with the show i was testing at the time (fwiw, Fiddler on the roof).

It's pretty cool that for most shows on their site, you can choose your exact seat.

anyone else expecting a lot of Bruce covers at Ed's only NJ show?

man, i hope some industrious person decides to record this shit

absolutely.

He's played "Growin' Up" a few times, and "No Surrender", "Jersey Girl" and "Atlantic City" once. I'd love to be wrong, but i'm not sure if i'd get my hopes up for a "lot" of covers. Also, do i want to go see Ed and have him perform mostly bruce covers?

personally, i dont like springsteen and im usually not very enthusiastic about hearing springsteen covers - i live in new jersey, ive heard no surrender and growin' up - i fully expect to hear them again.

i heard he's been working on his bon jovi covers

that'd be funny.

I would love some Bruce covers. I'd also love to hear his take on Never Say Goodbye, I'd Die For You, Born To Be My Baby Wanted Dead or Alive or any classic Bon Jovi songs.

fwiw, if you happen to get a seat in one of the side boxes in any of the tiers, they go like this:

Left Side facing stage(Front to Back)
Boxes A-B-C-D-E

Right Side (Front to Back)
Boxes F-G-H-J-K
(no "I" because of it's likeness to the number "1")

Slippery When Wet

I was just thinking about the lack of "beer runs" this show should have. i don't think food or drinks are allowed inside the seating area.

I'm wondering if this happened on the West Coast.

So, if he plays Last Kiss or Thumbing My Way and you don't like it, you're just gonna have to deal =)
