It appears that the billing for the Jacksonville show has been flipped and Def Leppard is now closing. I noticed this because I had two shows in driving distance for me (Orlando and Jacksonville) and was figuring on going to the Jacksonville show because Motley was closing that night (allowing me to beat the crowd exiting). Now, both Orlando and Jacksonville have Def Leppard listed first on the lineup, which we've been told means they are closing. Now I guess it doesn't matter which show I go to, I'm stuck sitting through Motley and won't get a head start out of the building.  |

Hey guys and gals. now that some of you have been to shows, do you have any suggestions on seating? I am going to Jacksonville and will grab tickets last minute. Is there any advice on where to sit vs where not to sit? the seats in the actual stadium look really far from the stage? I plan on hitting a couple other shows, so being in front row is not as important. I am just trying to see a show and see all the production for this show.

I plan on hitting a couple other shows, so being in front row is not as important. I am just trying to see a show and see all the production for this show. Depends on the venue. If it is a football stadium, you could get lower bowl seats diagonally from the setup and have a really nice view of the stage. If it is a baseball stadium, none of the permanent seats are going to be very close at all. Edit: Just realized this is for Jacksonville. Section 36 or 10 should give you a nice elevated view (136 and 110 being farther back). If you're tall, floor seats in a front section can be great, but they will probably be pricey. Those are all flat (unless it is an elevated handicap platform), so obviously the more back you go, the worse the view. They do a nice job with the screens and capturing things, so you could just chill out in the cheap seats and watch the screens, but as I have gotten older, I have become a bit of a "seat snob" and find the upper deck is usually filled with "fans" that care more about drinking or chatting on their phones than enjoying the show (just an opinion), and that can take away from the experience. |

All this weather impacting these shows is getting to be really something. They're certainly not going to be clear of it all summer but this is bonkers. Anybody keeping track? I feel like all but one of the shows have been impacted in some way by the weather, and this has to be at least the third (fourth?) where there's a full on lightning delay.

They could have made quite a killing on ponchos! I definitely would have bought one today! We're still in the severe weather holding pattern.

Poison just finished. It was a shortened set without the drum solo and Unskinny Bop. Bret sounded rough, but still was way into it. What a trooper.

LOL!! He was lighter in his ass-hattery ways tonight! I don't think he high-fived anyone! Poison just finished. It was a shortened set without the drum solo and Unskinny Bop.

So far MC is playing a shortened set (thankfully!). No Don't Go Away Mad, Saints of Los Angeles, or medley. Hoping this doesn't mean DL is also shortening their set.  |

So.... MC on Kickstart My Heart -- their last song of the set. That means they are only playing for an hour. Assuming DL will do the same. Yikes.
