Fort Wayne Fusion tickets

[james_t]

Fort Wayne Fusion tickets (single game) are going to be $32.50, $19.50, $14.50, $12.50 and $6.50.

Being a cheapskate by nature, if I go with the kids, it will probably be for the $6.50 seats. I've also got one of those $3 coupon books that has a by-one-get-one free coupon for Fusion tickets, up to 2.

I haven't been to the Coliseum before. Can you still see OK from the cheap seats, or would I be wasting $13 (plus, I'm sure, a small fortune in concessions)?

We had a big discussion in an earlier thread about whether this team would make it, and some of that centered around ticket pricing. What do you think about these prices? $6.50 is in the range of what a Wizards ticket goes for, but $32.50 is quite a bit more. But of course, it's indoors.

The cheap seats are not the best, although I'm the guy who buys the $10 Pacer tickets to sit 5 rows from the top of Conseco. But at least that is the NBA.

When I was sports editor, I took a photo from the top row of the Coliseum during Notre Dame's NIT game there. I was covering the game but some of my friends had bought cheapo tickets and I went up there to talk to them. I think I still have the photo on my computer at home, I'll try to post it here this weekend. It will give you a pretty good idea of what to expect.

I think they will have a problem selling high-end tickets for $32.

I've sat in the upper deck (the newest part) of the Coliseum for a few hockey games. There really isn't a bad seat in that building, but the higher up you go (and if you're at the top, you're WAY up in the upper deck), the pitch is much steeper than the lower part of the building.

At hockey games, you can see the entire ice surface from the upper deck, and with arena football, the scoreboard should be raised higher than it is for hockey, so I can't imagine there would be any problem seeing the action.

I've only been in the Collesium twice so I may not be the best person to answer this, but I have to agree that there can't be that many bad seats. There might be a couple of spots on the far sides of the upper deck that could have a partially obstructed view, anywhere else in the building should be pretty goo.

My biggest gripe is with leg room. I'm 6'2" and I wouldn't want to be the person sitting in front of me even with the slope being as steep as it is.
