You have to walk through an absolute choking cloud of cigarette smoke to get to the event center, although there is thankfully no smoking allowed in the event center itself. At no time did security go over there to see what she was talking about. Also, the security people were just standing around to the left of the stage enjoying the show, and the comedian had to stop her performance to ask people in the front row to stop filming. It was OK, but not what we were expecting. On the seating chart, it looks like the South seats are fairly centered with the stage, but in real life these tickets are WAY WAY WAY over to the left of the stage. We paid $150 for tickets in the VIP South section.
You do need to be up close for a good view, so it's worth the money to pay for VIP seats. Cons: The chairs are just folding chairs. Pros: Restrooms and bar are at the back of the event space.
