MTV Video Music Awards Tickets

We weren't able to see any of the celebrities that were all seated directly below us in the lower level and the camera didn't show anyone on the video screens. The sound quality was poor and we couldn't see most of the performers due to the hanging speakers and the tent-like stage structure where the presenters were announcing the winners. None of the performances were displayed on the video screens. All in all, it was interesting to see how the show is filmed but it would have been more entertaining (and less expensive!) watching it on the TV in my living room.

If I have been 11 years old, it would have been okay. It felt like a big promotion for One Direction. There was no variety in the show. For example, Coldplay was not there, Dave Matthews, Bush....I could go on.....The only good acts were PINK and Alissha Keys. When One Directiona and Green Day played..the sound was so horrible, the lyrics were not understandable. Plus, I feel like there were more commercials than music which sucked.

As with many award shows, we expected it to go on for a good few hours with all the breaks between acts. But only an hour and a half with over half of that being breaks with nothing happening was extremely disappointing. There was a 7 minute break in between every award and every performance. No music was played or videos on the screen to entertain the crowd. The problem was there were only a handful of awards that were actually presented on the stage. The rest were done behind the scenes before the show. The performances were good but were extremely brief and few. The whole thing could have been improved by having screens at the side or above the stage so people all round the arena could see what was actually happening rather than looking at dots in the distance. I couldn't fault the stage design and production. The lighting and effects were incredible. The Staples Centre itself was very organized and everything ran smoothly. Being a massive music fan, I found it very disappointing. What it looks like on the television is nothing like it is in the flesh.

We had a great time at the awards. It was awesome to see the behind the scenes making of such an event. We just wish they would have shown those of us in attendance, the show above on the big screen. We couldn't see anybody's face from our seats. We had to go home and watch it to see faces, dresses, etch up close. But overall great experience, and another event to check iff bucket list!!

This years VMAS wasn't with the money. The talent wasn't as exciting as it could of been. Our seats where horrible and the camera was right in front of it but they don't tell you this. Waste of time sooooo disappointing

It was incredible. I've never felt the same. I love LA, I love MTV VMA!!!

I thought the show was amazing live!!! The atmosphere was truly epic. The lights, climate, SOUND were perfect in my opinion. Stap,es center is amazing for sure...Huge environment. I was on the the 3rd tier which made me feel distant to the performers. It would have helped to see them on the big screens the whole way through. But I'm thankful to have been there and am looking forward to more. Thanks for the all the work and love!

Terrible seats that should not have been sold. Disappointed! Also, entertainment and host should have been on screen!!

I bought my ticket before knowing who was performing because I assumed they'd sell out fast. But the sound quality was terrible - I couldn't even understand the host, who actually wasn't funny. Ticketmaster gave me the "Best seats available" but there were a ton of empty seats that were better so I don't know what the deal with that was! Oh and what's with the 1D obsession?? Ick.

Well done event; the show kept moving inspite of all the set changes. Very, Very entertaining!

Looks great on TV and if your a guest who gets to be on the floor, by the stage, but if you buy a ticket your wasting your money. You cannot see well, cannot hear the host & presenters well, dark, cold, most of the time is spent waiting for the commercials which are on every 5 min, and they do no show the activities on any of the monitors like they would at a concert. I will never attend again.

It was not what I expected! Not enough performers/performances. Everything seemed so obvious an staged as far a the award winers.

Such a waste of time and money. The stage Was so far from my seat that I couldn't even see anything and interestingly enough no screen to watch the show... It was so poor that I got up and left the show

I've been to quite a few award shows now, so I know what to expect. It was a good show with a fair amount of good sets by Alicia Keys, Green Day, Pink, and 2 Chains, though it wasn't many because it's only 2 hrs. I remember when it was a 3 hr show- that's when it was really good, goes to show you the quality of MTV now. But it wasn't a sold out affair and for where I was seating, the $135 pricetag was a bit much. I paid $75 for the Billboard Music Awards in Vegas and had a much better seat, view, and it was 3hrs. Overall, it was a better show than last year's but you may want to give better advanced notice to public about the show and lower the price for mezz seating and since it is a short show

I've been attending for the past 7 years , but this year sucked ! Not much entertainning , very low budget and on top of that only 2 hours

This was an awesome experience to attend and be seated super close to the stars!!! I was literally 2 sections away in 104. Everyone's performance was amazing and having Rihanna and Nicki Minaj walk right by me was the moment of my life :))
