My issue with a seated venue is that people often want to STAY seated, and I often want to stand - get a better view, etc etc... I don't think it will be TOO bad for Sonic Youth, but I also think the fact that they made some decent tickets available to the BEGN people was a nice touch - the panic for decent seating is always a detractor (for me) in seated venues.
The fact that Massey Hall's acoustics are SO good also makes up for any gripes I might have about seating...
