EMERGENCY question about tomorrow night's show... please answer if you know :)

North Charleston, SC Coliseum VIP Purple Circle Package... question

I've got the purple package vip deal that was over a thousand bucks. I am disabled, but have not received my tag for my vehicle. Does anyone know if since we got those vip tickets if we'll have a better place to park or we're in for the rest of the concert goers. It is only because of my two herniated discs.

I got an email today that the concert was sold out and that everyone needed to arrive 3 hours early for parking. They're opening the building at 5 instead of 6:30 pm for the 7:30 pm show... so they're expecting a huge crowd.

Also, if I bring my papers showing that I am disabled, will I be able to enter that HUGE building through the disabled entrance? It would kill me to walk up that huge ramp in N. Charleston.... if you've ever been there, you know what I'm talkin' about.... lol. Thanks, smile

I know this is supposed to be in the concert section, but I've got one there also.... I'm trying to find this info out before I leave tomorrow. I have to leave several hours early to pick up my sister then head to the coliseum. Thanks, smile

You need to contact guest services at the arena, not ask on a web forum. The arena might even have staff just to answer questions for disabled patrons.

you will be able to go in the handicap entrance and handicap parking. also, if you have VIP tickets, dont go in the main entrance, there is a VIP entrance.. the parking attendants are usually cops and will help/assist you. have fun!!!

I can park even though I haven't got my car tag yet? I've got my disability papers, etc. Do I just show them that? Do they look at the vip tickets and say, "okay, go over here" smile thanks

Show was incredible! Parked right in front of entrance! Four feet from Prince at one point when he gave a high five to the girl at our table. Seats were extremely uncomfortable ONLY because of my herniated discs... other than that.... EVERYONE GO TO WELCOME 2 AMERICA... the greatest show on earth!!

If you don't mind me asking, how much were the VIP table tickets are your concert? It seems like the prices are higher for Los Angeles. Thanks.

They were the Prince purple circle tickets... you had to buy two at a time and they were $500.00 per ticket, which meant I had to pay over $1,000.00 plus taxes. I ended up taking my sister for an early bday gift... she loved it!

Thanks. The table seats here are over $700.00 here including fees. $500.00 I could possibly think about it but not almost $800.00.
