What I didn’t know, however, was that my view of the video screen over the stage was going to be almost completely blocked.įar be it from me to ask an American venue to roll up their flag, but surely someone from the venue would have noticed that this would be an issue. I bought cheap tickets, since I was traveling from Canada for this concert, and I knew that I was in the nose bleeds.

At the very least, the fire marshal should have something to say about this, as there would be nowhere for anyone to move, should there be an emergency. yeah, all of that, food and drink venders, and hundreds of concert goers trying to enter the venue, cross through the mass of people waiting in line to buy T-Shirts, and there’s no where for anyone to move. Signage wasn’t great, and the queue lines were just a large mass of people, without any real direction.Īfter getting through the 4 doors that were open, and the metal detectors / security screening, we headed up the escalator from the lobby, since our seats were in the 200’s.Īt the top of the escalator, it’s a right turn into the 200 lobby area, and you’re suddenly face to face with about 300 people all lined up in a fairly confined space, all waiting to buy concert merch. The first thing that we were confronted with, was the main entrance to the venue, which is from the outside, basically in a back lane, away from the strip. While the sound in this venue was very good, and the walls and ceilings acoustically treated, there were still some misses, that could have been done much better. If looking at the stage, seats are numbered starting at 1 from the right side of each section and continuing leftwards. Then the 200’s in the rear (201-206) goes from Row A to Row R while the sides (207-218) start at row A and end at Row L. Sections 101 to 117 have 8 rows, each starts with Row AA and goes to Row HH. Sections 1 thru 24 all have 25 rows each: each section starts with row AA and then goes from row A to Row X. In section Floor C, seat #1 is on the inside aisle and seat #14 is on the end furthest from the stage (How many rows each section has depends on the configuration for each particular show)

Seat #1 of Floor A is on the outside aisle of the section and Seat #14 is on the inside aisle towards the center (or Floor B). The floor set up and seating is reconfigured depending if you are there for a concert, fight, conference, etc but the seating is generally the same.especially in the permanent seats. I searched a long time before I was able to ascertain this information so I thought I would write it up for others to easily assess.
