EPTSeats will always be a problem at any event. Only time there wont be is at a venue like the ACC, Skydome or any other sports venue that has assigned seats. And keeping seats at the front for people who buy the premium seats, it sucks for the event when they are empty, to pan out to the fans and see so many empty seats. People would say that the event sucked.

They were just wheeling out more and more chairs and just planting them down anywhere they can place them. I was standing around for the first 2 hours right behind all the VIPs and then to my surprise they wheeled out chairs and everyone in that particular area got to sit down. Even if they didn't I would have been willing stand the whole night. I was on my feet the entire day of day 2. Going around to take pictures and get autographs. I just wish the autograph signings had a schedule. I got all the autographs I lined up for. But for the people who lined up and couldn't get a their turn before the player left, that was too bad.

I think it would be a 36 hour drive to Columbus. Plus I have this mortgage thing and I can't justify putting that many miles on my car. Don't get old kids, you can do less fun, impulsive stuff. | ||

just some local events, no big ones. I've recently moved out to North Carolina, and I'm hoping MLG does sc2 in Raleigh next year :DI would stand the whole freaking day if I could watch a pro sc2 event live. | ||

I didnt pack any food thinking the place would have pizza or something. -____- mmm mixed nuts and a can of rebull The poutine at Sketch's was absolutely disgusting. Anyway, considering the location there are tons of restaurants that goes over a mile long. You really had to go outside of the venue if you wanted decent grub. Mainly steakhouses. Wish we were downtown or at least uptown. | ||

Lined up (huge lineup) for Hero/Scarlett/Gretorp sig and by the time I got to the front Scarlett and Hero both ditched so we only got Gretorp sig. He was really cool though. Glad I got to meeting him, just sad that Hero and Scarlett left. Then right after we got the sig Genius started signing, which also kinda ticked me off because he literally started signing like a min after we got our sigs. We actually asked where day9 was because people were talking about him. Apparently he was scheduled to sign then but went out to get food instead. Bummer. I ended up getting Hack and Gretorp sig in the end. | ||

Well it's an 8-9 hour drive from my house in NJ to Columbus, and a 4 hour drive to Boston, so worst case scenario, it's about a 13 hour drive for you (although Google maps says it's only about 12 hours). Boston to Miami is only a 24 hour drive (not including stops) lol. But either way, long road trips are a pain unless you can rotate drivers x.x | ||

I really don't see why there needs to be drama because you were not allowed to sit down on a chair. Its great that Arrow Hall was able to "over sell" and still be able to fit everyone inside, at least they did not have to reject people because it was too full and had fire code issues. Seats will always be a problem at any event. Only time there wont be is at a venue like the ACC, Skydome or any other sports venue that has assigned seats. And keeping seats at the front for people who buy the premium seats, it sucks for the event when they are empty, to pan out to the fans and see so many empty seats. People would say that the event sucked. That's what happened to me. Watching it on TV (stream on TV) the event didn't really look that huge because they panned out and you could see the empty seats. When we got there, it blew me away because it was damn nuts. | ||
