First Day Back Albuquerque Concert reviews
Awesome event, very bad seats.
The seats were great, but the event was horrible. I selected seats 1,2,3 for this section (Section 421, Row 1) thinking they would be close, but they ended up being really far away, which I didn't mind. However, the stairs were directly in front of the seats, with people constantly going up and down during the game to grab food or use the restroom. This was disappointing for me as I was looking forward to bringing my Dad and Bro to the University of Phoenix Stadium for the first time. Throughout the game, my Dad and Bro had to keep moving their heads just to see the game. Sometimes, the stairs were so crowded that our view of the game was completely blocked. It's not TicketMasters' fault, but rather a poor decision to place the stairs right in front of the seats during the stadium's design.
