Charlotte, NC Show

jld92 · #1 04-13-2009, 04:57 PM

Hey guys,

I'm buying tickets for the Charlotte show. The ones I'm looking at would be in the FL3 section(Stevie's side). I was wondering if the smaller numbers would be more towards the center or towards the side. That definitely makes a difference when you are up close. So if anyone has been to the arena before, can you please shed some light on this for me?

Thanks,

Jess

Hi Jess
I'm trying for Charlotte tickets too. The lower numbers would be further to the left of the stage so you're going to want higher numbers I think. I've been checking every day for better seats on Ticketmaster but am coming up with crappy stuff. Hopefully they will release better seats soon.

I know! The tickets for $150 are crap! I'm not paying that much to sit at the back of the arena. Hopefully some tickets will drop as it gets closer.

Thanks so much for the help by the way.

Yep.. No way I'm paying that much to sit in section 116. I'm checking Greensboro too cause I could do either one. Greensboro has better seats coming up now but still not what I want. They have 5th row and 7th row on Stevie's side but they are way over to the left.

Good Luck to you

hopefully better tickets will drop soon

Wait... I'm so sorry Jess. I was wrong about that seating, I have it backwards. Low number in FL3 is good. Seat number 1 will be to the right of the section so closer to FL2. I just saw some low number seats in FL3too but the seat map wasnt clear. So, I called the arena and they verified.

Sorry again for giving you mis-information. It's Greensboro that goes from left to right and I got them mixed up.

I would reccomend that you guys go to a Ticketmaster retail outlet if possible. The website is still shafting customers and essentially scalping their own tickets. But if you go to the retail stores, which I'm sure are located somewhat near you, you'll find what you're looking for. That's what I did for opening night and it paid off. It may be an hours drive to the outlet, but its well worth the effort to save time money and frustration on the website.

yeah, those 1st and 2nd row "Official Platinum Seats" on their website for $400 each really piss me off.

I'll try the retail outlet just to see, but I thought they had pretty much the same thing that comes up online on the ticketmaster website? I'll give it try though, there's one in the FYE at a mall about 20 minutes from where I live. Worth a shot.

Thanks!

I just checked Ticketmaster and there are NO PREMIUM SEATS! What happened?!

There were at least 30 or so listings just a few hours ago! I'm freaking out!

I think one could also try calling them as well.

I know.. they pulled them this afternoon about 1pm. I'm kinda freaking out too. Sending my husband to the FYE tommorrow to see what he can get. Still checking Greensboro and they still have some 8th row and 5th row through the regular sale. Premium seats are still showing.

This is like the 3rd or 4th time they've pulled the premium seats. They'll be back in the days before/of the concert...

Ok thats a relief. Thanks Louie. As i figured, my Husband didnt have any luck at the Ticketmaster retail outlet this morning. They gave him the same seats I've been pulling up online. I'll just be patient and try not to freak out anymore

Hopefully those seats will drop soon
