So my daughter is 14 and for some reason her favorite band is Kings of Leon. She's made straight A's this year and I feel like she deserves a reward.

This would be her 1st real concert and I'm going to surprise her, let her skip school and we're going to have a daddy, daughter day. The question is do I buy floor seat for 150 each or get seats in the bowl at the arena in section 107 for 75 each?

It's not so much the money but she's only 5'1" and not sure how floor tickets at the arena work.

WWTOTD?

$100 difference overall? Get the best seats.

With the $150 you save take her to get a really dinner or something.

I still remember my first concert 15 years later. Give her a great experience.

they are a rock band (i guess) so the floor may not be the best spot for her in all honesty.

i would get the best seats you can get instead of the floor.

Get the floor seats. She can stand on the seat. band is elevated anyway, so you can see them from anywhere. Only issue is you'll be standing the entire time.

ETA: congrats on having a daughter that age with good taste in music. Most girls her age are listening to shite bieber or rap crap

IMO, floor seats are pretty pointless if you aren't in the first 10-15 rows. Get good lower bowl seats close to the stage if possible.

Who is going to put a 14 year old on their shoulders for 2 hours? Doesn't sound like fun to me...

I paid $$$ for floor seats for my baby sister to see Britney back in 2002. Was her first concert. I wanted her to have an amazing experience. She def had that on the floor. And she wore the bracelet you got for the floor for like 2 weeks after the show



Get her the floor seats. Be the cool dad.

Floor seats and it's not even close. I stood in the pouring down rain to watch Kings of Leon at ACL in last year, they put on a good show

Get the Floor seats or if they are available the Rock City VIP Tickets.....the end of the show they play a song called Cold Desert and rain fake snow down on the floor seats....my chick really liked that part.

I love some Kings of Leon. Oh and get the good seats, man. But not floor seats. I think those are overrated for MOST concerts.

Just tell us this is not her favorite song.
I Want You - KOL
Get back on track, pick me up some bottles of booze
Fickle freshman probably thinks he's cooler than you
A hay ride, a fire, everybody's coming around
So go press your skirt, word is there's a new girl in town

I call shotgun, you can play your R 'n' B tunes
The fellowship time, it always comes a little too soon
The land of the creeps freshened up and baby faced shaved
Put your eyes on me and I know a place where we can get away

Just say I want you, just exactly like I used to
'Cause baby this is only bringing me down

Homeboy's so proud, he finally got the video proof
The night vision show she was only ducking the truth
It's heavy I know, the black eye with the gift down below
A choke and a gag, she spit up and came back for more

And said I want you just exactly like I used to
And baby this is only bringing me down
She said I want you

I want you just exactly like I used to
And baby this is only bringing me down
I said I want you just exactly like I used to
And baby this is only bringing me down
