Seat Review From Section 209, Row P, Seat 3

Nov 2013

Comments

My seat was almost behind the stage in section 209, but it was still an exciting place to be when the performance was on the end stage closest to me. Seat 3 was the third seat from the aisle on the right, so the higher number seats would have gotten me closer to the middle of the floor instead of the back of the stage. Super close to the drummer just to the left of the end stage, but I was blocked from some views by screens hanging from the rafters as well as a support beams for a lighting structure that was just off the left side of the stage. The Allstate Arena is a smaller venue with a cozy feel, so while I didn't have the best view in the house for the center stage, I was still decently close.

These seats had a bar and snack setup directly behi...
"Front row on the second tier"
(Section 212) - ★★★★ -
Very cool views for the Backstreet Boys, 98 Degrees, and Boyz II Men show! Front row of the section was great, no one directly in front to block my view, and there were event cupholders mounted to the front ledge which was an nice bonus. The railing just in front of the seats might have been an is...
