The exact label on your ticket is what pins your spot: a seat two sections over can sit a level higher, a price tier apart, or on the opposite side of the room.

When you weigh a Charleston Coliseum and Convention Center ticket, three variables do the work: how close you are to the floor, whether you face the action square on or from a baseline, and how high you sit.
