Not a whole lot of rooms left in the hotel right across from Quicken Loans Arena. Cleveland's always been kind of difficult, for me at least, to get good seats, first 5 or even 10 rows/center stage, especially when you need 4-6 seats. Hopefully this year I'll get lucky. Will take what I can get though. Should just go for side seats, but I can't seem to give up trying to get as close to the stage as possible. Really love watching the expressions on the performers' faces.
I completely quit going for floor seats after the show 2 years ago. 8th row. Center stage. And I didn't get to see but maybe 10 minutes of the entire show because of the a-hole family in front of us holding their big ipads over their heads so they could film the entire show. Four people all standing the entire show with their arms stretched as high as they could holding what had to be 8x11 ipads or something similar. When the guy next to us asked them to stop, the father (it was him & 3 teenagers) laughed in his face & told him to "f" off.... They completely ruined the show for us and the family seated in the row behind us. Efforts to find an usher or someone to intervene weren't successful because we were trapped in the center of the row.... Music was great but I couldn't tell you one thing about the musicians or the effects because none of us could see them.
It's the side for us from here on out.... :-(
That's when you get security involved. I won't hesitate to do it. Actually did it last year for a pair of drunks at Hershey.
