I also understand all patrons are to receive severe beatings upon entering the premises?

I heard the festival is handing out beanbag chairs for the audience to sit on if all seats are marked with a pillow case. Confirm?

It gets a little better every year. I'm at the point where I have zero problem tossing the pillowcase or towel or merch bag to the floor.

What's this about whole row save attempts? Squatter's rights? My ticket doesn't have a seat number on it so I'm thinking no one else's has one either.
So people bring pillow cases to "mark" their seat for the day? Is that it? Based on your response above it seems like the practice is uncool. This will be my first PP so I have a lot of catching up to do on the PP savoire faire. I'd like to know more about this sort of thing. Is there a FAQ page I can go to for a quick rundown? For example, if I need a seat and someone has a pillow case on it can I just toss the pillow case and stake my claim, or do I just go down to the floor to enjoy the show and let the squatter have his day?

It was a problem for a while. Less so now. It's usually some prime real estate being "saved" by these things. To me, only asses save seats. Anything else can be set aside.
That said, there are almost always seats available. They might just be at the very back.

Thats cool. Thanks for the reply on this.
I've never been to the Centerstage Atlanta, but the pics I've seen look like there are really no bad seats anywhere to be found. Good to know that some seating is usually always available. I'm sure when I first get there and look around it will begin to dawn on me exactly what an excellent Friday and Saturday it is going to be. Right now I can only imagine..

It's a great venue.
Last year was my first year attending and I had a lot of the same questions / concerns based on posts I have been reading here for many years.
As Justin said, sounds like it was more of a problem in the past.
Since it was my first time, I really didn't stay in one place for too long as I was trying to take in a lot in a short period of time.
For any band, I never had a problem finding a seat.

Yep. Those pillow cases should be removed on site or sufficiently stained.
If you are sitting down, find a seat before a band starts. It can be tricky navigating around the camera crews in the dark.

Definitely this. Get in before the lights dim, if possible, because the track lighting can't reveal all of the snares you'll encounter while winding your way to your seat.

You have also been there for a collective total of 5, maybe 6 band sets, so you haven't got that much experience when it comes to the seating situation...

This year is also a bit different in that it's sold out. Don't be surprised if the seat you get is so far to one side that you never see the keyboardist.

Also, there's a big difference between "my 1 buddy just ran to the loo or to grab drink refills" and 10 pillow cases for most of a set. It is cool and reasonable to save your buddy's seat while he hops up for a minute, just not while he goes to dinner.
This will be I think our 13 year and we're mostly on the floor but when I've gotten sore feet, or just want to sit a bit, I don't really remember having too much difficulty ever finding a seat.
Be respectful of your fellow patrons and they will totally have your back.
P.S. in addition to the deodorant and shower requests, if you are having gastro intestinal distress, I know you've waited a long time to see your favorite band, but PLEASE don't pollute the floor for the rest of us :zombie: As previously mentioned, there are bathrooms.
