Depends on the venue. I received as a gift the worst seats in the house for Bruce Springsteen back when it was the Verizon Center. But the sound was excellent and the huge screens everywhere showed everything. The crowd was great. Still one of the best concerts I've been to.

Today DCUM taught me that Bruno Mars is the hottest ticket of the year apparently.

I don’t know Bruno Mars but for a different concert, DD told me she would prefer not to go if she had to be in nosebleeds. She wasn’t being ungrateful, she was telling me not to waste the money on the tickets. So we didn’t go because the tickets were astronomical.

I remember feeling the same too when I was younger. You can’t even see the person when you are that far away and I felt like I was basically watching them on tv.

Be willing to pay 400 plus. The recipient better be in love with this guy for this gift.

But I wouldn’t invest unless the seats were excellent

Try posting on Entertainment forum. There was a thread earlier today. Someone waiting hours and paid over $400. Boggles mind to think someone pays this much for B Mars.oh well. https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1309698.page

If you don’t like the tix available now, wait to see what the prices are as the concert date approaches. Sometimes they open up additional sections and sometimes the prices go down using authorized resellers.

TY I think I will pass then. It's a bday gift and the person loves Bruno Mars but if there's a risk they won't like the seats it's not worth it.
