Cleveland Rocks....

I'm waiting til the day before the damn show to get my tickets.

Yeah, I indeed only got offers for tickets on the non-Brian-side as well...

But I setteled for them anyway, cause I like the idea to see the show from the other angle for a change - It'll be my first time; at all my previous shows I was right up there with Brian ;-)

You won't be disappointed--most of my UK shows were on the "other side". Hopefully I get a brian side for at least one of the shows I am doing here!!!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you're probably gonna be even more pissed off now.

I just bought 2 tickets for Section 108 'cos my friend is not willing to pay $127 for a ticket so I told him if I could get good seats for the $79.50, I'd do it. Anyway, I got on Artist Arena a few minutes ago and got Section 108 - Row 2 - Seats 17 & 18, which are on the very end of the aisle. I called the box office at Quicken Loans Arena to ask if they were on the aisle nearest to the stage and she confirmed they were.

So, it looks like yours and Pieter's Seats 1 & 2 tickets are on the back end of the arena rather than nearest to the stage. Just thought I'd give you a heads up in case you wanna put 'em on eBay or something.

I called the Arena aswell before I purchased them and asked the same and they say that seat 1 is nearest the stage. I spoke to two different people who said that.

They said that if you were sitting in the center of the section that Seat 1 would be on the right nearest the stage.

I just saw your post and called back a minute ago and talked to someone different than I did earlier and she also said Seats 17 & 18 in Section 108 are closest to the stage????

Apparently, the personnel at the Quicken Loans Arena don't even know the correct numbering for the seating.

This is fucked up.

All I know is that every concert I have been to the seating always starts with Seat 1 on the right and then moves to the left with the highest seat number on the left. I looked back through old ticket stubs tonight. Every venue that I have been has had their seats numbered that way.

This is weird..........

Yeah, that seems the standard at most venues. I did the same with my old concert tickets and every venue I've been to but two of them started with seat 1 on the right moving to the highest number to the left. That's why I called the box office at the arena to confirm it before I ordered my tickets 'cos the way Artist Arena's site shows it when you select your tickets is that it moves 1-18, which 1 being on the far left.

All I know is if I've been misinformed by the arena, I'm gonna be majorly pissed 'cos the only reason I selected 17 & 18 was because I thought they were on the aisle nearest to the stage.

AA seating charts are a piece of crap. That is how the screw up with our seats in Jersey happened. T

Well, I checked some other venues on AA's site and it looks like they have some venues having seats with Seat 1 starting on the far left (e.g., Quicken Loans, MCI Center) and others with Seat 1 starting on the far right (e.g., Glendale Arena, Key Arena).

I don't know if AA has fucked up the seating chart for the Quicken Loans Arena or what.

I sent off an e-mail to the box office at Quicken Loans to try to get to the bottom of this.

AA seatings charts are all wrong. When we purchased VIP in NJ they had Seat #1 being next to the catwalk, when we got there it was at the other end of the row. This happened even after I called and asked AA where the seat was. I was told it was next to the catwalk, so AA have so no idea.

I also e-mailed them. Interested to see if the response is the same.

Well, one thing is for certain, which ever one of us is wrong is gonna be an UNhappy camper..:-S I still don't understand why NONE of the higher level priced tickets were on the floor. There were SOME crap ones, but I ain't paying for a seat where I can't see..*sigh*

Agree AA seating charts are goofy- the ones for the Bradley Center on AA were incorrect. I called the Bradley Center to confirm That my seats 1,2 were near the catwalk and as others have stated as you sit in your section, seat 1 is on the right--Hoorah. Best advice--research your Venues before you buy---AA has some decent seats at most shows-- Brian side seem to be very rare.

Yeah, the baffling thing about mine and Pieter/Erin's situation is that the box office at the arena told us two different things.

Indeed. One of us has gotten screwed over....and if it's me I'm gonna sue Artist Arena and the Quicken Loans box office for misinformation and emotional distress....lol

Good idea! Then you could see more Queen shows with the money..;-) Glad to see I'm not the only one that is totally anal over seat location! I figure if we are screwed on this one, at least we will have 5 other shows to go to..:-) I don't think I can handle the stress of more presales, though..*lol*
