Bring back paper tickets! For an unknown reason, somewhere in the purchase process there was a "transfer". This messed up everything, and we had to go to the box office 'back office' and spend 20 minutes unwinding the mess. The concert itself was wonderful except for the awful no talent opening of DJ Brandi Cyrus and the extra loud base that canceled the country music
The concert was great. The ticket price was NOT! We were charged MORE THAN DOUBLE the box office price for these tickets. On top of that, I had to stay on them about the delivery of our tickets so that we had them in hand before our flights to London. We finally received them one day before we left. The TicketSmarter system is not that great and their mark up is closer to gouging. I won't use them again.

You should mention the sides don't hear the music as well as the front. It's not just partial view but also distorted audio. Really disappointed.
The ticket purchase part was great but the acoustics at the venue was terrible! No screens for people sitting on the sides! The people facing the stage had two very large screens everyone else nothing! I was disappointed! It did a disservice to the amazing legends!
