Went to tonight's show. Totally different experience in the General Admission section. We were three rows back. Had a great view of everything. Nobody can really pull off Elton John but this guy was credible. For me it was more about the music. Elton's songs seem to bring back a lot of great emotions and memories. I wouldn't critique it as I would the Queen knock off band since for me they were two different types of experiences with two different expectations.

For sure if we ever do this again it will be in the General Admission section and not in the golf cart.

We went to Queen and really enjoyed ourselves. We were in our golf carts but we brought our chairs up some to see the stage. Yes the vocals were off but the music was great and the song choices were awesome. $30 for a night out was fine. The entire middle area of the golf cart area was roped off behind the sound booth, not sure how someone pulled in to try to watch from there. For me it was very enjoyable and I did not see the issues others seemed to have.

We've been thinking about going to an open air concert. This thread has been very helpful in planning how we go about it. Thanks.

(Just a quick aside...this is my first post in a while. I've lurked a little and went way longer than I expected to without posting. It was good for me to get away for a bit, but it's good to be back. Sorry for the off-topic diversion. Now get back on topic!! )

FYI - It was $120 total for their four person party, not apiece.

We have seen the Queen tribute band, were really looking forward to the to the others, but my huge issue was logistics. There is a lot I can do as a handicapped person, but portapotties are a true challenge, and I could not risk it. Can anyone give me feedback on how that was handled for wheelchair access?

They had wheelchair accessible portapotties. They weren’t as nice as the ones in the mobile trailers but they were serviceable. The men’s and women’s toilets both had attendants who kept everything clean. I’m sure they would also provide assistance as needed.
