After a HORRIBLE experience on the floor last year (5th row, center) in Lexington KY thanks to a family of a-holes in the row in front of us who spent the entire show waving enormous ipads and signs over their heads so that no one in the 4 or 5 rows behind them could see anything that was happening on the stage, I refused to go back to the floor again this year. Best seats I'd ever gotten and then was only able to see occasional glimpses of the show... the family (including several kids) behind us saw even less. We (and everyone around us) tried everything to get them to stop only to be told to "f*** off"....
Got the first section on the side, 4th row up in Louisville, instead. Then turned around & got first section out, 10th row up, for two of my kids who will be travelling ot Cincy for the show this year.
Wish the pre-sale I did for another band a couple of days ago had gone as well. They didn't provide a seating chart (and there were NONE anywhere online for this venue) so you just had to hope for the best. Afterwards, I called to find out where my seats were & they're all the way in the back of the arena against an outside wall... The person at the venue then told me that NONE of the center or front seats were included in the pre-sale, only back & side seats. That the "good seats" (in her words) were being held back for the public sale. Can you say TICKED OFF?!?!?! Especially since that fan club is one you have to buy into thru Patreon & the pre-sale is supposed to be one of the perks... Guess who's cancelling that Patreon membership? Not to mention that that entire event was supposed to be my Christmas present from my husband. The concert is over 3 hours away & he was giving me the trip as a Christmas present: concert, dinner out, a nice hotel, the whole 9 yards. At this point, with as bad as the seats are, we're just going to eat the cost of the tickets & not bother going at all...
