So, you were lucky enough to score general admission "floor seats" to the Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band concert tonight at the Bradley Center.

There are some things you should know, beginning with the fact that there aren't really any seats on the floor.

At Springsteen shows, the floor is divided into two areas: the pit area in the front of the stage and the rest of the floor. A lottery determines access to the pit. The system also makes it almost impossible to scalp the best seats and eliminates the need to camp outside the venue.

Here is how it works:

A lottery determines access to the pit. If you have a general admission ticket, it is not necessary to participate in the lottery. The GA ticket guarantees a spot in the remaining floor area.

Security personnel will distribute sequentially numbered wristbands from 2 to 5 p.m. outside the venue. At 5:15 p.m., a fan will draw a starting number. The fan holding the wristband that matches the starting number is then first in line. Fans then line up in sequential order until the allotment of "pit" seats is gone.

Roughly an hour before the concert, pit patrons will be allowed into the Bradley Center. A wristband and a GA ticket are required for entrance to the pit.

Anyone who receives a numbered wristband between 2 and 5 p.m. has a chance to enter the pit, but not a guarantee. A separate line will be started for those not in the pit. Those without wristbands may line up after those who have received wristbands.
