Posts: 451 05/07/05 10:35 AM All is well Reply Quote More Recent Posts	Glad you started this thread. We need an official Kettering thread to be stickied. I got tickets through the presale and got 8th row in the plaza. So I am thrilled! I am not trying today because I am afraid that stupid ticketmaster will block me for searching too many times, and I want to try for the celeste center.

I am in Plaza section B row GG so that is 7 th row! It sounds like this is better than many got on the presale. You never know with these things. The guy behind me was also buying Clay tix and it was already in the orchestra row G! They sound to be selling well! Sooo happy for Clay - and for us!!! Anyone know how parking is there?

I'm really short, so I'm worried about not being able to see from so far back because the stage looks really low to the ground.

Posts: 447 05/07/05 1:02 PM Reply Quote More Recent Posts	I got Orchestra D, Row I. At least the seats are fairly close to the aisle so they won't be way off to the side. Am coming a long way from Texas to Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana for several concerts and had hoped for better seats. Guess I should have gone the broker route. Could have gotten really good seats for one concert for what I am paying for four.

Now we need hotels and pre-parties. Anyone from that area to help out the travelers. Oh, by the way, I could not sign up for parking in the pre-sale. Should I call on Monday to the ticket office or is it a short hike to the High School? See you all there. It will be my first concert this year.

Those of you in the Orchestra seats will be happy. They are elevated from the plaza seats. In the plaza seats, they put in chairs. It is a relatively small plaza area. Those of you in the lawn section will have fun. Bring a blanket to sit on, although I know no one will be sitting Hope that helps, Peggie from Kettering

Posts: 80 05/07/05 4:33 PM Clay's smile warms my heart Reply Quote More Recent Posts	I forgot to tell the ones in Plaza D and A, I went down there last night to check it out myself, as I am in Plaza D, Row CC. The seats are very close to the stage, but they are over on the side a bit. I think there are only 4 or 5 rows in Plaza D and A, but they did not have the plaza seats out there or I could tell you more. I talked to one of the people at the Fraze and they said we would be able to see fine in those areas. I am hoping they do not have a lot of big speakers on the ends of the stage. That would probably be the only problem, but we will all be standing up anyway, so I am sure you will be happy with your tickets. We are Peggie from Kettering

Posts: 133 05/07/05 9:37 PM Reply Quote More Recent Posts	Can someone tell me if Plaza section is the only section with double letter seating (AA, BB, etc.). So is Section C, Row CC considered 3rd row? Thanks for the help.

Posts: 1577 05/07/05 9:43 PM Clay's Groupie Reply Quote More Recent Posts	According to the seating chart, I believe you are correct for the double letters in the Plaza section. Those are Great seats. I'm only pulling up lawn seating on ticketmaster. How many reserved seats versus lawn seating are there to equal 4300?

Posts: 447 05/07/05 10:31 PM Reply Quote More Recent Posts	I did a search for hotels in Kettering and found several south of Kettering. The Holiday Inn Express in Centerville looked to be the closest to Fraze Pavillion. I went to Yahoo! Driving Directions on the internet and put in Lincoln Park, Kettering and 5655 Willmington Pike (Holiday Inn Express address) and it shows 4.4 miles. All of the other hotels that showed up on my search seem to be about 8 miles from Fraze Pavillion and required six or seven street changes to get there. Never been to Dayton before so I know nothing about the area.

Posts: 24 05/08/05 1:01 AM Reply Quote More Recent Posts	If you ordered via the presale, you can still order your parking pass through Ticketmaster at no charge. The high school is the farthest away (less than half a mile!). This venue is in a residential neighborhood (and basically across the street from the Kettering police station)...I'm not sure how picky they are about parking, but all three suggested lots on Ticketmaster are close. I would agree with the Holiday Inn Express in Centerville being the closest hotel. I'm checking on locations for a pre-party...The Fraze rents out the patio right there on site prior to shows and for a small fee They offer boxed dinners (sandwiches and fruit salad) via their concession vendor. I'm having a difficult time finding another place that could take on the Clay crowd, close to the Fraze. If you live in the area, I welcome suggestions. And if anyone else is already planning, let me know so we can get together and compare notes Another Kettering Claymate, Amy

Posts: 2 05/08/05 8:00 AM Reply Quote More Recent Posts	Some of the larger restaurants near the Mall would be a good place to start. For instance, Max and Erma's or TGIF. They're not to far away from Fraze. I drove to Fraze from my home in Indiana yesterday and got there at 7:30, was 22 in line for tickets and was able to get orchestra Section D Row L Seat 19 and 20. They are not bad at all. Like others have said, this is a small outdoors concert hall so anyone who has tickets with a seat is going to see a good show. After I got my tickets and went and sat in the seats I got, and was very happy. The stage is slightly elevated from the plaza seats and the orchestra seats have a rise to them. So the higher the seat the move of an angle your at. Not counting the Plaza seat, row L is 12 rows for the stage. So anyone with orchestra seat and forward is going to have a great view. I only found out about the concert late Thursday and so I didn't get an opportunity for the pre sale, so I'm very happy with what I got. Can't wait to see you all there. Would love to come to a pre-party so count me in. If you need any help please let me know. The last one at Quaker Steak and Lube was a lot of fun. [code] [/code]
