Definition
General admission, often shortened to GA, means you are buying access to a section rather than a specific seat. Where you stand or sit within that area usually depends on when you arrive and how the venue manages the crowd.
Examples
- “It was a general admission floor, so we showed up early to get closer to the stage.”
- “Check the venue rules before a GA event because some places use numbered wristbands or separate entry lines.”
