Section 102 at Gorge Amphitheatre

This was our first ever Gorge experience and it did not disappoint. Because seating charts thru Ticketmaster and such don't give the full effect of what your seat location would actually be like, and there weren't many photos posted at the time on this site either, I was on a mission to take photos and videos that might help another newbie to the Gorge to decide whether they wanted to have a budget experience up on the grassy know or pay more to be close to the stage. We decided to go for seats in the center section on the floor since this was our first time seeing Brandi Carlile, Sarah McLachlan, and Lucuius. We were slightly left of center stage and our chairs in this section were padded. Although we stood for about 3/4 of time there were HUGE high-def screens with live concert footage so either way you go, you won't miss anything. The crowd, staff, and vendors were all super friendly and everything is amazingly well organized for such a large event. Food and drink is pricey so we skipped that and bought band merch instead. The view coming into the concert area is AMAZING! Next time, if we get floor seats again, we'll hang out on the grass for part of the concert during the day to take in more of the view and then stay on the floor when the sun goes down. It can get chilly when the sun goes to so layer (or have layers to put on) to keep comfortable. Check out video from the concert here: Sarah McLachlan - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3C9WJK9_c8 BCB - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZksLQzYid4 Side Note: if you want to camp, go for Premiere camping. The walk to the concert venue isn't that far and they run shuttles too. You'll have access to multiple (very clean) port-a-potty's and hand wash station PLUS indoor toilets and showers :).
