Okay, so I finally decided to snag some tickets for a WWE event. I’d always watched it on TV, but never actually been. I was browsing, looking at different levels, and ended up going for the 500 level. Let me tell you about the whole experience.
The Ticket Hunt
First off, finding the tickets. Man, it’s a jungle out there! There are so many sites, so many options. I spent a good few hours just comparing prices and seating charts. I was a bit hesitant about going too high up, but the price difference between, say, the 100 level and the 500 level was HUGE. I mean, we’re talking hundreds of dollars.
Making the Choice
I ended up thinking, “Look, I just want to be there. I want the atmosphere, the energy.” I wasn’t too fussed about seeing every single muscle twitch up close. So, 500 level it was! I figured I could always use the big screens if I needed a closer look.
Game Day Arrival
Getting to the arena was pretty smooth. We found parking (after a bit of circling, of course), and made our way inside. Getting up to the 500 level was…an exercise. Lots of stairs, lots of escalators. Definitely got my steps in for the day!
The View From Up High
Once we got to our seats, I took a look around. Honestly? It wasn’t bad at all. Sure, the wrestlers looked a bit smaller, like action figures, but the whole arena was laid out before us. It was a pretty cool, panoramic view. You could see everything unfolding, the whole spectacle of it.
- Pros: Cheaper tickets, great overall view of the arena.
- Cons: Wrestlers are smaller, you rely on the screens for close-up action.
The Atmosphere
And the atmosphere? Electric! Even up in the 500s, you could feel the energy of the crowd. Everyone was cheering, booing, chanting – it was infectious. I was yelling along with everyone else, totally caught up in it.
The Verdict
I watched all the matches and enjoyed all the surprises. At the end I went back home exhausted.
So, would I do the 500 level again? Yeah, I think I would. For the price, and for the overall experience, it was definitely worth it. If you’re on a budget, or if you just want to soak it all in, don’t be afraid of the “nosebleeds.” It’s a different perspective, but it’s still a blast.
