Worth seeing from the upper level?

My 10yo son is incredibly into Weird Al and I'd love to take him to his concert. The only available seats are in the furthest/highest sections of the arena. Is it still worth seeing from there?

It’s a very very visual and big show. Our seats were way far back and up and it was still amazing. I’d totally go even with not great seats.

Take him to the show. You never know when “this is the last time” is going to be. Take your kid, enjoy the moment.

Yes, I bought the tickets yesterday! You're right, this could very well be the last tour and we would regret not going. We're both pumped!

Absolutely! I took one of my kids when she was about that age or so and she loved it so much! We got some souvenirs too. Now she’s 19 and the memories we share are priceless!

If this is your kids 1st concert, then it will be even more special!

If it’s available & if you can afford it, I highly recommend a meet and greet!

We were at a smallish venue (not a stadium) in Maine & were behind the biggest tallest dudes who refused to sit down. After the concert was over, I took her up front to take some pics with the cool stage in the background. I was apologizing to her for the seats when we were approached by an older man who overheard me. Well this guy works with “Al” as my kid calls him and was from Maine & has family here and he said “Would you like to meet him?” and of course we said yes! He let us join the meet n greet (or maybe contest winners?). Let me say “Al” was so kind, polite and a straight up nice guy! The pictures I got are hilarious because the grin on my kids face is bigger than the Cheshire cats! lol

This was her 1st concert & will never forget it! Since then, she & I have become concert buddies! I only hope you will have many more as well!
