No GA tickets will be for the side sections only. And PIT tickets would be listed as such. They are general admission with no seats( they are usually sold at a premium price and or part of some kind of " VIP " package as the PIT sections is right in front of the stage.

Get outta here with your medium

Is that why they do it? I never actually knew the reason

Do you know how hard it is for New Hampshire residents to find campsites out our popular state parks in the mountains? They're always filled with people from MA. And yet we don't charge you 3X what it costs us.

As would I. I'm not upset about paying more per se. I'm upset that Mass charges about 3X more for out of state residents. I think it's a little bit crazy that so many MA residents enjoy the state park systems of other nearby states but then turn around and charge crazy prices for others to go there.

Is that sarcasm?

Interesting. Do you use this amenity often?Wouldn’t it be much quicker to drive?

Since when is almost double "slightly more"?

Don't worry, it's only going to keep going up.

4.5 hours on a nice, comfy, wifi-equipped train

>slightly higher home insurance rates

Slightly higher? Either you were being grifted up here, or you're just making this up to justify moving to that hell hole.

Just so you're aware, the insurance market in FL is completely fucked and you'll end up paying for it. Likely it'll be excess lines only soon as everyone is GTFO due to the shitshow.

Hi Reddit, I'm looking into gifting my SO tickets for a concert and I had a couple questions regarding the stadium and how concerts work in the US since we're not from here. First question is, since I'd be buying general admission tickets, will we have access to the pit? Or only to the zones on the sides? In the website it says that the pit zone is for general admission and unreserved seats, but I'm not sure because I can't click on the pit to buy tickets. So, if we'd have to go to the zones on the edges, can anyone who's been to a concert there tell me if those are relatively good seats or if I'm throwing my money away? Thank you in advance.

I actually dug around other sources to do the sort of comparisons you're talking about, and the Globe's overall conclusions look reasonable in the larger context to me too:

• Here's a graph of MA overall resident population changes over time. It pretty clearly shows that historically MA has tended towards steady overall population growth, and that the last two years have bucked this trend.
• Here's a graph of overall US population growth, showing that the decline is MA-specific and not an overall reflection of slowing population growth or an overall US exodus.
• Here's a graph of Maine's overall resident population changes over time. Note their recent trend looks like the inverse of Massachusetts: a sudden surge in population growth relative to historical trends that starts about the same time that the MA population growth stalls and reverses.

To me that data looks pretty consistent with the anecdotal comments we're seeing in this thread, too. (The top comment at the time I'm writing this is from /u/homeostasis3434 talking about how they recently moved from MA to ME.)

Already drank the water didn't you?

>Right. So the people leaving are the poorly educated Trumpers who lack the job skills to afford the housing.

So you make a statement like that and think you are the educated one? Lmao

How long does it take you to get from Northampton to grand central on a train?

No state income tax in FLA.

Part of our fee as MA residents is paid by our taxes. Ypu dont pay MA taxes, so you should pay more. I would expect to pay more if I went to a campground out of state.

Because they can. Simple as that. MA has no shortage of tourists. People complain about crowds in other states; well, MA can get pretty gosh darn crowded May-October.

You mean if you do nothing to stop abuse of living costs, run high taxes, and put none of it into visible infrastructure (but waste it on limousine liberal vanity projects), people will get fed up and/or priced out?

Who could possibly have predicted that?

I’m hoping to relocate in the next year because rent is too expensive.

East-West rail!

Moved from Boston out to Easthampton during the pandemic and love everything about Western MA

...I can ride my bike on a protected bike trail to the Northampton Amtrak station and hop a train to Manhattan. To get to Boston, my own state capital, I need to bus down to Springfield then catch a nearly 5 hour Greyhound to South Station.

Nah, plenty of blue hair in Massachusetts.
