Went to the QUEEN concert last night and it was a huge dissappointment! Whoever the operative/logistics person is, they don't know what they're doing. We got tickets for the golf cart area and basically paid $120 for the four of us to LISTEN to the concert because we couldn't see a thing. They put golf carts BEHIND the sound booth and two vending areas.
The concerts are billed as "come and watch in your golf cart..." Obviously, they were joking. Even the VIP area was so far to the south that those people were taking their chairs over to the general admission so they could see. The stage lighting was horrible, also.
So, it was a nice idea but the organizers should be fired for the layout of the venue. Don't bother, it's a waste of money!

Thank you for the objective(and I am not being sarcastic) discussion of what you observed. $120 to go to a show(knock off band) is ridiculous. Would rather drive to Orlando to see a real show.

One would think by now they would know how to set up for an outdoor venue. Right now would prefer outdoors but not when we cannot see the show.

Exactly! I just saw Chris Stapleton LIVE in Nashville for $198. Worth the extra $80 over the debacle you are describing with the Queen cover band.

We went last night as well. The lead singer was terrible. Very disappointed. We’re going tonight to see Elton John Tribute. Hope it’s better.

We went with low expectations and weren't disappointed. The golf cart section was a joke. We're also going tonight but have upgraded our tickets to General Admission.

IIRC the same negative reactions happened last year or whenever it was when they first attempted this. I guess they are **TRYING** to make people more comfortable wrt heath issues by being outdoors. Have the recent INDOOR concerts been full like the old days when you could never get decent (or any) seats?

That $120 was for 4 people. Still much cheaper that most live acts, but that hardly helps the situation...

Nice to know they'll let you do that...

To a point. We tried to upgrade to General Admission last night. They wanted $15 per ticket to do it. We passed. Today, as long as we upgraded tonight's tickets by noon it was $5 per. After noon, $15 again.

Oh. No. It was per person. You are right, that would be a great deal!

Just upgraded for Friday night. Only $5/ticket (it should have been free, but whatever...)

Thanks for the heads up!
