| - I was so excited when this venue came to be. I made many trips to its sister venue, LC Pavilion, in Columbus. Stage AE shows are general admission, so you can get really close if you want to stand in line for when the doors open.
For the outdoor shows there is a concrete pit area, a reserved box section, then a s lawn. Indoors there is a pit section, and elevated standing section on the first floor near the bar with a railing to lean on. Upstairs there is another bar, a lounge area (no views of the stage, but a good place with windows to sit for a spell), general admission bleachers and high top tables for two with stage view and box seats. I don't know how to purchase box tickets other than the "I know a guy/gal" method. I was lucky enough to score a box seat for My Morning Jacket earlier this spring and it was epic!
Now that I know the high top tables exist on the second level I may be more interested in arriving early and claiming a spot.
Now, on to the concessions. The libation selection is good and affordable , around $5 a draft. There is a small concession area near the 1st floor bar. Pretzels, pizza etc. Not too sure on price.
My only complaints:
1) If you plan on purchasing a bottle of water prepare to pay $3.50. Come on, Stage AE - give a designated driver a free cup of water!
2) Although there is a security presence on the floor, the people in front of you will still be vaping or smoking weed.
If they could find a way to provide free water and control the magic dragons from puffing I would add that last star.
