A couple more days, guys! I'm soooo excited, but puzzled at the same time. How much money do people usually bring to concerts? I want to buy merch. Surprised

I think I spent about $40 last time. I got 2 shirts and Brighten and Simon Dawes EPs and a couple buttons. I know I got $60 from the ATM and I still had cash when we left...

Does anyone have dinner tickets? I'm going with 2 of my friends and we all have dinner tickets, but I'm scared they're going to make us sit up in the balcony Sad Does anyone know how it works there?

I have dinner tickets. You don't have to sit up there. You can go to the floor though no problem. I prefer being on the balcony though. You can sit and get a good view of the stage without tall people blocking you. If you're at the stage end of the balcony you'll actually be closer than most people on the floor. Also you can't really see the drummer well from most of the floor, since the stage isn't high enough.

Thanks for the advice Smile I have more questions... if you don't mind answering them, I'd really appreciate it.
1. Don't they sometimes have the tables on the floor in front of the stage?
2. How many rows are up in the balcony?
3. When can you pick up the tickets at the box office if I pre-ordered them?

Ahh that's what I'm wondering too. I've never been to a concert before so this is my first. The name of the place makes me think it's huge. How does this all work anyways?

The place isnt that big really. I've never been there, but I've seen pictures of it and read reviews (supposed to have some of the best sound). I'm really stressing out about all this... mostly the seating arrangements... I HAVE to get good seats. Now I just have to find out what the good seats are... or if we'll be able to stand.

1. There won't be any tables on the floor.
2. There aren't rows in the balcony, it's more of a walkway than seating area. That's where they set up tables for you to eat.
3. I don't know how early you can pick up the tickets. I usually buy them will call and just get them from the box office when I get there.


This is a picture from up on the balcony. You can see the tables they set up and sorta imagine the ledge/bar behind my sister you can sit at and peer down.


Here's a picture to give you an idea of the relation of the balcony to the stage. You can see peoples heads poking out.

You don't have to have dinner tickets to go up on the balcony. It's just that people who do have dinner tickets have priority. You can go up there if there's any space after they've opened up the dinner area. I think they stop checking people's tickets around the 2nd band. For instance if people who had dinner tickets wanted to go down to the floor you can take their spot.

3. I just noticed in my confirmation email it says you can pick up tickets on the day of the event. I guess that means you can pick them up any time before the show.
