Opinions about seating at a concert (Strokes in Tampa Sept. 12)

They will be in the Benchmark International Arena (formerly Amalie) later this year, pricing tickets currently. I'm not about to pay $300 a pop for seats, and this isn't a large arena so I don't fathom there is really a bad spot.
3 spots I'm looking at are off to the side (these are the stubhub previews)
Or maybe here where I can get a full on view of the stage.
There's also here in the far back, pic makes it look like you'd still get a good view,
I know their stage set up dictates some of this as well, but where would be your preference?

Easily the side stage one out of those 3. Side stage in the first few rows of the uppers is a good spot

I'd go with the second pic- lighting/visuals is a big part of a concert experience these days, plus close to the sound booth so you should get a good listening experience. I think it'd be the best combo for sight/sound.
Plus, if you're old like me, looks like it'd be a little easier on the neck/back than the side stage.

Honestly probably not wild swings in quality.
I tend to swing towards front rows of sections and aisles as preference items
As you note, probably not a truly bad seat amongst the three but there are certainly bad neighbors so I try to reduce the human risk

My brother in law and his wife are going, he has connections in the Tampa area, attempting to get free tickets. So this might all be moot
