I guess I’m still clinging to the obsolete model I grew up with where the further in advance tickets were purchased, the better the seats were.
Then I'm guessing you grew up before premium seating was a thing. I'm not surprised that the best seats are being held back for the big spenders rather those who have plunked down $50 members. And yeah, It's a bummer. But "animals are treated better"? LOL. This kid's goat might disagree.
