MIL seating question

hoyatone

Question for anyone that has seen a concert at the Bradley Center. Is it better to sit 1st row back corner of the stage (right above Boom) or 1st row all the way across the arena in the lower level (facing the stage straight on)?

I'm mainly wondering about sound quality in each location and whether or not views would be obstructed behind the stage.

Oops, I thought this thread was going to be about how you are taking your Mother In Law to a concert and wanted opinions on where she should sit relative to you and your significant other

Sorry I can't help with this venue but here's a bump. For what it's worth I tend to pick seats as close to the stage as possible, there's generally no obstructed view for PJ. And the tickets should say if it is.

In General sound quality is better out front.
If you want to HEAR a concert its best at the mixing board.
SEEING is a different story…

IMO...

223 - you'll be closer and will be able to see the band's interactions with each other and the crowd, though there may be some lighting in the way. There is usually a stack pointing side stage, but this section is more side/rear stage.

209 - you'll have a full view of the stage, screens and crowd, but probably wont be able to see the little interactions. Sound should be balanced but not super-loud/clear as arenas start to lose their sound quality about 2/3 of the way back.

Have fun!

Have seen many shows at the Bradley Center, Most recent was TSO in 2012, in section 205 and sound was great there.
