    I have tickets for The Black Keys that were $150 each and I have two.  It says I am in row 6 and I believe the seating is at one side of the stage.  Does anyone out there know what this seating is like?  I am now second guessing myself because in some sets if you are to close you are below the stage and you can’t see the whole show.  Help me out if anyone knows. Thanks
