Question about LA Forum

mwplum

I apologize for creating a whole thread for this, but didn’t know where else to ask.

I scored tickets through the 10C sale, but with number 446xxx, I ended up 20 rows back in the second section behind J).

As my wife and I are both around 5’8”, I’d imagine this is probably the worst place to be in the building...is that a fair assumption?

As we are flying to LA (and have long wanted to see a show at the Forum), I just wanted to confirm that we’d be better off just about anywhere else (if we are lucky enough to score a pair through F-T-F)?

Thanks kindly

If you have night two I will trade you for my section 102 tickets. They aren't great but at least you're are elevated

"I ended up 20 rows back in the second section behind J"?

Do you mean 20 rows back IN Sec J? There is only one section on floor BEHIND Sec J which is Sec 3. Sec 3 (&1) are risers which do elevate row to row but not quite as much as the 100 and 200 Sec rows. If in Sec 3 or 1 you will be fine, If in Sec J maybe not so much. I've been on the flat floor with 5' even wife who said never again and I was OK but not great at 5' 11". Good Luck

The above post is how I remember it from the Chris Cornell tribute concert.  I was seated in the area of what is labeled section 1 and I recall a slight elevation.  It was a great location.

Rear floor is tough.  LA Forum has a flat floor.  Similar to San Diego Sports Arena.  Lakers and Kings used to play at the Forum.  I'm about 5'10" and when I saw them in 2003 in San Diego, I was in row-T on the floor.  That was 20 rows back.  I was as far back as the lighting and sound platform.  When Idllwild opened, I thought "wow, pretty good seats".  Then Pearl Jam hit the stage and everybody stood up.  I could see the band's shoulders and heads if I kept on my tip-toes and swayed side by side.  Really awful seats.  I wished I was up by the jerseys in the rafters in the back instead of where I was.

Sorry for the confusion, yes we are in Sec J row 20. Thanks for the feedback everyone.
