We went to see Hotel California at an outdoor concert at the polo fields. As far as I could tell there was no seating. We took chairs. The band was set up facing the polo field. There was a section for cars and golf carts. We understood that we could get food there. Bad idea. We were starving and stood in line for food for a lot of the concert. There were only 2 food trucks, so be prepared or eat before you go. Hopefully they have improved in that area. It was OK. We went in the golf cart and it was pretty chilly, especially on the way home. Personally I prefer indoor concerts.

This excludes a lot of folks.
Excludes those without golf carts
No Handicap facilities. Folks in wheelchairs or using walkers cannot maneuver grounds nor have appropriate restrooms.

We used to have open air concerts where you’d park car and take fold up chair to a grassy shady spot and enjoy it. and the band would play from a veranda at a Rec. Center.

The Open Air Concert Series is fabulous! I’ve attached a copy of the ad from yesterday’s Daily Sun, but do check out details at OpenAirConcertSeries.com

I checked and there are provisions to accommodate handicapped/disabled persons. Please call The Villages Box Office for further details.

I don't believe they have a section for automobiles...

But I can't wait to go. We've got tickets for "Absolute Queen" and "The Guess Who"...
Burton Cummings was the Guess Who and he is not with them now.

The general seating area has no carts it is bring your own seat. There are supposed to be 6. food trucks this time. If you do a cart you can bring a chair to sit on so you don’t have to sit in your cart. There is no auto section this time.

Ope this clarifies the concert but it is fully explained on the Villages entertainment site where you buy the tickets. It can be cold in December you may want to take that into account when deciding.

Default How was the seating

Last year some people complained that the stage was not high enough and carts were parked one behind the other. Therefore, sitelines were poor. Does anyone know if that has improved?
