I have heard the arguments against the Concourse and I disagree with them. I have already seen Thievery Corporation at the Concourse and it sounded great. I would recommend that you try to get up forward and not hang out under the sides or get lost in the sea of people towards the back.
Do yourself a favor and don't go to this. The Concourse absolutely sucks. No matter how much you love the bands that will be there the venue will ruin it. You've been warned.
You can use the box office just outside zellerbach auditorium on the cal campus (I noticed when walking by the other day) : http://tickets.berkeley.edu/ticket_office/how_to_order.php
