Is the general admission area seated or standing? And are the general admission seats assigned? Is the view there better or somewhere in the stands?

General is standing. The seating is all very good viewing because it's pretty vertical. We had "bad" seats during Smashing Pumpkins because the band's props were in our way, but after a few songs it's easy to move to better seats.

The seat are assigned at the forum. As you might know the seat numbers are located in the ticket. The view is great no matter where your seat is located. All the seats are facing the stage at the forum.

Its standing, i prefer the stands.

I just got general admission for floor space, can you still see ok from there?
