The View from the Bathroom

In the comments of WindyCitizen's review of the Death Cab for Cutie show, a reader offers a great tip for getting a better view of concerts at Millennium Park's Pritzker Pavilion:

There's a really easy way to get the $10 tickets and then see the entire show: Stand on the ramp that leads down to the bathroom. For some reason Millennium security doesn't bother people that stand there, and it's a better view than a lot of people with the expensive seats have!

Now, don't everybody go out and try it all at once, or that loophole will be closed right quick!

Any tips on secret viewing spots in other venues?

"The stuff I like sounds like life or death," she reasons. And this coming from a woman with a picture of Jimi Hendrix taped to her cello case like he's a saint.
