Chautauqua Institution questions 8/24
I'm trying to buy some second hand tickets for the show next Wednesday. As far as I know, the Chautauqua Institution has a seating chart but the few tickets I can find on stubhub or the other sites are all listed as General Admission.
Has anyone been there that can confirm whether or not the General Admission tickets are legit?

I’ve never been, but the way I understand it, the seats down low, like on the floor, those are all reserved seats. Then everything else around it, that is general admission seating, first come first served. When tickets went on sale through the guild, they did offer both reserved seats and GA seats, so I would assume they are legit.
Thanks! That description along with looking at the seating chart is a huge help! It's all clicking!
The person above is correct. There are I think 3 or 4 sections on the floor that are reserved, but the rest is GA. That GA includes seating and standing areas in the back/top.
One thing to note though, is those GA seats fill up FAST, mainly because residents get first access to tickets and then casually stroll over to the concert area before everyone else. Now, in my experience, many of those people are older and don't really know anything about the band they're seeing, so keep an eye out for people leaving midway through the show. You can grab their seats if you're quick. But, there are no bad seats. Even the spot behind the stage area is a cool vantage point to watch a show.
