? about Riverbend Music Center

I was thinking of suprising my husband with tickets to the Kings of Leon concert in Sept which is at the Riverbend for our first anniversary.  I'm from Pittsburgh and at our Starlight Theater it was more fun to be on the lawn --- is this the case at Riverbend or should I shoot for seat tickets? 

 

Any info would be great! 

Val

    I would go for seat tickets, I hate the lawn.  From my experiences being on the lawn for various concerts, it's really rowdy, full of drunks and a LOT of HS kids being stupid.  I have never had these issues with seat tickets.
  • In my opinion, it's darn near impossible to see anything when you're in the lawn at Riverbend.  With the way it was designed, there are HUGE beams that obstruct most of your view.  I would definitely go for a seat ticket.
  • I agree with PP's... I would personally never buy lawn seats. If all you care about is going to have a good time, drink and not really 'see' the concert then you can get away with lawn seats. But, if you will get annoyed with super drunk kids and not being able to see then buy seats!

  • We're going to that show!  More for The Black Keys than KOL though.  :)  We got seat tickets.

  • Honestly it depends on the show.

    The lawn for Buffet is insanity, but if you like to party it's the place to be.

    The lawn for Kenny Chesney stressed me out and I didn't enjoy myself AT.ALL.  Which is a shame because my favorite concert to that point was Kenny at US Bank.

    The lawn for Toby Keith was pleasant and enjoyable.  They didn't oversell it at all, and we were able to sit on a blanket, enjoy the show, and had a great time.

    That being said, if you want a guaranteed view, get the pavilion seats.  Otherwise, know the artist and decide if it's one where you want to be in the thick of things.

    The lawn for Kenny Chesney stressed me out and I didn't enjoy myself AT.ALL.  The lawn was packed, we saw at least 5 fights, way too many drunks to count, and couldn't even stand without someone inches from you.  Which is a shame because my favorite concert to that point was Kenny at US Bank. 

    The lawn for Toby Keith was pleasant and enjoyable.  They didn't oversell it at all, and we were able to sit on a blanket, enjoy the show, and had a great time.

  • I prefer the lawn. I've seen Buffet there, Journey and also Poison all lawn and had a blast at all. But I don't go to SEE the show. I go to listen to it so if you're like me and don't have to necessarily see what's going on on the stage I'd say go lawn.
