OK, I worked Aeromsith last night and here's what I got out of the seating arrangements that aren't clearly seen on the web chart.
Section 101, 100, 102. Number of rows vary show to show based on stage set up. Aeromsmith had a ramp coming into the crowd that ended at the end of Section 100, which took up most of the seats here. These rows are made up of removable seats that interlock. There are about 13-15 rows here. Also, these contain about 10-20 seats each. The handicap seating causes this "widening out" effect.
View from the stage
Section 101 - Seats numbered right to left.
Section 100 - Seats numbered left to right.
Section 102 - Seats numbered left to right.
Section 203 - 15 rows, 18 seats each, Numbered Right to Left
201 - 15 rows, 20 seats each, Numbered Right to Left
200 - 15 rows, 25 seats each, Numbered Left to Right
202 - 15 rows, 20 seats each, Numbered Left to Right
204 - 15 rows, 18 seats each, Numbered Left to Right
*There are giant white support beams for the tent that might obstruct the view from certain seats in this section. Ticketmaster usually saves those to sell once all others are sold. You would be told ahead of time if these were your seats.
Section 305 - 10 rows, 8 seats each, Numbered Right to Left
303 - 15 rows, 22 seats each, Numbered Right to Left
301 - 15 rows, 22 seats each, Numbered Right to Left
302 - 15 rows, 22 seats each, Numbered Left to Right
304 - 15 rows, 22 seats each, Numbered Left to Right
306 - 10 rows, 8 seats each, Numbered Left to Right
Section 405 - 15 rows, 22 seats each, Numbered Right to Left
403 - 15 rows, 22 seats each, Numbered Right to Left
401 - 15 rows, 22 seats each, Numbered Right to Left
400 - 15 rows, 25 seats each, Numbered Left to Right
402 - 15 rows, 22 seats each, Numbered Left to Right
404 - 15 rows, 22 seats each, Numbered Left to Right
406 - 15 rows, 22 seats each, Numbered Left to Right
*These seats are not covered by the tent.
Section 507 - 5 rows, 5 seats each, Numbered Right to Left
505 - 5 rows, 22 seats each, Numbered Right to Left
503 - 5 rows, 22 seats each, Numbered Right to Left
501 - 5 rows, 22 seats each, Numbered Right to Left
500 - 5 rows, 25 seats each, Numbered Left to Right
502 - 5 rows, 22 seats each, Numbered Left to Right
504 - 5 rows, 22 seats each, Numbered Left to Right
506 - 5 rows, 22 seats each, Numbered Left to Right
508 - 5 rows, 5 seats each, Numbered Left to Right
The number of seats are an estimate based on what I looked at in the last row of each section.
Hope this gives you a better idea of where your seats are.
I couldn't get pictures because Aerosmith has a strict policy with that and I didn't want to test them. It really seems to me that the seating chart on the web makes the 100 section seem as if there are a lot of seats there. It really only looked like there were about 12 rows each, which isn't much. Then the 200's start right up.
The sound for this show was great, let's hope the sound is the same for the Hip!!

damn...thats some incredible detail. Great job Drez7 :thumb:
06-11-2004, 07:31 AM
So Drez, those of us in the 200's shouldn't be kicking ourselves for dishing out the same amount of $$$ as the 100's?
06-11-2004, 07:42 AM
No problem...
Believe it or not I asked the manager if they had a more detailed seating chart, so I wouldn't have to look myself, and they said no. Haha. I mean, cmon, you run the damn place! But in a way it doesn't surprise me.
Also, they shut beer off at 10:00, that is one hour before close. And boy, people were getting pissed off! If you plan on drinking, get to the lines before 10!
And another tip that might come in handy. If you're going to buy beer there, or even food for that matter, use the parkside lobby, that is the one way on the other side of the venue closest to the rides. To get there, walk up past sections 100, 200, sound booth, 400 and make a left, follow that walkway right out, just DO NOT forget your ticket stub!! Everything is less crowded on this side, mainly because half the people there don't even realize it exists. The beer, food and bathroom lines are much, much shorter. Also, if you just want to grab a quick beer, use the towers on the lawn, the ones with the big screens on them. Never any lines! It's worth the 30 second walk out to the lawn, just remember your ticket stub to get back in!!
Another good reason to use the parkside lobby, (not the main lobby) is that they always have more merchandise selection available, since it is not all picked over. And you will get to the table much quicker.
Also, there is only 1 ATM machine in the place, right next to the merch set up in the main lobby, as you come through the front gates, steer to the left.
And, if bathroom lines do get long, since mostly everybody will have been pre-gamin' it up before the show, there are about 50 port-o-potty's just across the way from the main lobby merch booth on the gravel stoned area down the little hill (near where all the radio stations set up.) Nobody ever uses those, but they're open.
Just trying to save you guys time so you can miss as little show as possible. Believe me, the lines can get rediculous. I watched some people stand in line for 30 minutes to buy beer. That is insane, you should NOT be waiting for more than 5 minutes, max!
Hope this helps and enjoy the show.

Not at all, I was 101, row 6 last show there, now I am 200 row 5 and I don't feel bad at all. The stage is elevated quite a bit. You will be very pleased when you get to your seats. It is much closer than you think!
Now, as long as Minut Bol, Shawn Bradley, George Muresan, and Shaq don't sit themselves in front of you, everything will be perfect!

Also, a heads up on some of the prices...
Large Beer 16 oz. - $7
Small Beer 12 oz. - $5
For all you math people out there, the $5 beer is a better deal
$5 beer = 0.42 per ounce

A savings of.....2 cents!!!!!!!
Wine 6 oz. - $6 (the cup is the size of a double shot glass...haha, boy were people getting pissed when they were handed this for 6 bucks.)
Doc Otis Hard Lemonade 12 oz. - $6
They also sell stwarberry daquiris, not sure how much...
Water - $3
Soda - $3.50
Burger - $3.50
Hot Dog - $3.50
Italian Sausage - $4.50
Personal Pizza - $4.50 (The best value for food on the menu)

Your best bet is to tailgate in the parking lot before the show (you can tailgate all day!) Pretty much anything goes, although the security and police patrol occasionally for drugs. Bring a grill or other food and lots of beer. :lol: Then again you can tailgate for just about any event in Buffalo! You will only have to buy a couple of beers inside, if you choose. Plus many people also choose to tailgate afterwards! Much different from the Hip show I attended at the Molson Amp. We were the only ones having a beer in the parking lot and Toronto's finest were there quickly making us pour all of our beer out. 
And they said they were letting us off easy because we were from out of town!!!??? :oops:
Enjoy the show!

Haha, the same thing happened to us there. What's up with that anyways? They say Toronto is like Albany, only cleaner. (Good old Canadian Bacon for ya) Maybe they are afraid of us leaving empty cans behind!
Looks like were going to have to be extra sneaky this year. Damn you Canada!

Drez, I'm confused here. Section 203 you say 15 rows, 18 seats per row, right?
Here's my confusion: I'm 203, row 12, seats 14-21. What am I missing?
