We had 4th row seats, which we paid good money for for the great view, but the concert was ruined by those huge bass speakers lined up against the stage which were turned up on overdrive. It was physically painful, not just to the ears - even with earplugs - but to the body from being battered by the sound waves. Not to mention the sound was so distorted as a result that you couldn't understand anything anyone was singing. Everyone I spoke to complained about it, and I doubt that was necessary to reach the back of the venue. It was ridiculously loud even out in the far hallways. By contrast, I attended a similar lineup concert at the Wells Fargo Center in Philly a few days later at about the same distance from the stage, and the sound quality there was great. What a shame - there were some great performers in the lineup.
