I have a question about attending concerts...

I have only attended two concerts in my life. I have interest in seeing Bob Seger at the United Center this weekend; and, I will most likely go see Billy Joel at the stadium in June. My question is, does it really matter where your tickets are located at a concert? Using Billy as an example, would it really be worth 3x the price for section 29 versus section 133? At the UC, is a concert enjoyable in the 300 level?

I think high up at UC is pretty terrible * - DakotaDomer 2019-10-17 07:52:56
