Anyone else feel as though floor seats are overrated? I mean the camera crew is always in the way and security is always up your ass. I feel as though elevated seating is much more relaxing and you get a better view of the action as a whole.

The only good ones I had were at KOTR '97, Lockdown '08 and Backlash this year. Otherwise, a few rows up from the floor, right centered with the ring, have been the best seats. and also, if theyre on camera side, youre guranteed to get on. I happened to be sitting where Edge got tossed into the crowd at Backlash this year, and those were the best ringside seats ive ever had. Floor is overrated. I would only buy in the first 6 or 7 rows.

I've only been to one indy show and it wasn't a big one so my opinion is small. The way it was set up was the Ring was in the middle of the gym. There were 3 rows of seats, then a guard rail. I sat in the Third row and i enjoyed it alot. But i can see how you would like elevated seating. Much like a movie.

i never sat on the floor but being a beer drinker i think it would be a pain in the ass getting out of there to get a brew every 30 minutes or whatever.

WWE shows and indy shows are night & day. for WWE shows, I prefer to be elevated. First level up. That way, I'm above all the doofs that always have to be standing for no reason and holding their signs up. You can still see everything very well. The only time I've ever been on floor seating was for Sin 2001. we were so close we could hear the commentators the whole show. I also heard Sid's leg pop.

I would hate having floor seats, like its so easy to take someone elses spot when they leave or whatever because everyones standing and you have no idea like where anything is, and from videos I have seen from floor seats, you cant even see!

Unless they are in the first few rows, you'd have better seats in the nosebleeds than the floor. I'm speaking from experience.

Yeah...whenever I go to an event if I can't find floor seats within the first 3 rows then I just go to find something about 8-12 rows off the floor.

I have been to over 30 shows in my lifetime, and I have sat everywhere from front row at a PPV (KOTR01, Backlash 08) to the absolute worst seats in the arena (MSG SD! May 08).
Yes, floor seats are overated. Def an experience you should do at least once if you attend multiple shows, but all in all, sitting elevated has a better view.
I really wish they would outlaw the friggin' stupid signs...

The seats I had recently were row eleven or something where the elevated seats begin, camera side.
AWESOME seats, right at eye level with a great view of everything. I've never been in the first few floor rows though.

I've never been in the first few floor rows though. IMO, those are the best seats to have...I go for those, ABSOLUTE front row, or honestly, nose bleeds. I have always had a lot of fun the couple times I sat with the pigeons...

I feel they are to a degree. If I can not score seats in first 3 rows I just look for something decent elevated. Another thing I am always annoyed by are the amount of signs that constantly block your view.

I hate being 3rd row or back on the floor but front two rows at TNA events are awesome.

Personally i love floor seats and ive only ever sat there. The furthest back ive been in row 5 but even then that was a walkway block so you can still get to the front. To me theres nothing like being there up close and personal but maybe one day i will get a seat in the tiers.

Unless you are in the first 5 rows, or at an aisle, floor seats suck. Stick to 10 rows off the floor centered with the ring, which is close to where I got on for the Oct 12 Raw in Indianapolis.

In all honesty. I wouldnt sit on the floor seats unless I had a seat in one of the first three rows. Especially if your in the last row behind the announcers, those seats must suck. I try to aim for lower bowl seats. Those seats are perfect pretty much

Ive been to about 20 events and out of the 20 ive probably sat about in the same damn spot 17 times. I always sit the 1st level up, camera side, right in the middle almost evrytime. So Smack Down! is coming on the 22nd here, so i switched it up and got floor seats, their Row 11. but im right by the entrance walk way. Ive only had floor seats once before, row 5, and they were great no complaints. And the wrestlers were really close and i had a great view, i cant really see how 6 rows will be THAT big of a difference. Im curious to see what Row 11 will be like but being right at the barricade at the entrance ramp i should be able to get some good pics of the stage and maybe a few wrestlers.

I've sat 2nd row once at a house show, and 3rd row at No Way Out 05.. both were great experiences but yeah, i'd say being a few rows up from the floor, especially if it's camera side is the most enjoyable area to sit.
I sat about 20 rows back on the floor once, and I didn't even want those seats.. Ticketmaster.com screwed up.. I had 2nd row right behind the announcers table and then when i went to buy them they somehow turned into like row z on the floor. I was pissed. The seat honestly wasn't bad for me since I'm tall but the two people I went with couldn't see anything.
