Many times when a concert fan looks at a website with tickets to an event with general admission seating they will find they are listed many different ways, and at many different prices. Most of the outdoor amphitheater shows and many arena concerts have general admission seating and it can be confusing to buy them based on the way they are listed on the websites.

Since most ticket selling websites sell pretty much the exact same seats you will find this problem on most of the sites. The main difference between ticket selling websites is the price difference between them, if they have hidden fees, and the quality of the service they provide. And the reason for the different prices for the same type of tickets is that every site has different sellers asking a different price for their tickets.

Most of the time all of the general admission seats will be the same type of seat. They may be listed as GA,  GA1, GA Lawn or several other combinations of these terms. But in most cases these are all the same general admission tickets that are being listed differently by each ticket seller, not necessarily to confuse anyone, but to try to make their tickets stand out.

Sometimes though you will find two different types of general admission tickets for the same concert. They may have general admission lawn seats that may be further from the stage, behind the reserved seating. And they may have general admission seats in front of the stage. These are usually referred to as “Pit” general admission tickets.

 The main point is to check with the ticket seller to make sure that all the general admission seats are the same. And then choose the cheapest general admission tickets availableto save money.
