99.9% of Grand Rapids fans

99.9% of Grand Rapids fans last night were so fun, kind, patient...etc., just amazing. There were 2 girls in our row who actually belonged to the section behind us - I didn't find that out until later. They were in row F, we were in row J. They kept hopping from one row to the next and were so rude. They were a little tipsy and they both kept smacking into me. So much so, my 9-year-old got knocked over. She then was of course nervous the whole rest of the concert. The one closest to me kept stealing my seat as well. I can't sit on my daughter lol. I did eventually talk to a security guard about them pushing and bumping into me. He talked with them but then let them stay because one has a fake leg. I don't care if they weren't supposed to sit there, but why be rude the entire time? Once they knew I "told on them" one of them kept screaming in my ear purposefully, the one closest to me kept putting her camera out to film herself singing but was putting it literally in front of my face, etc. And of course, during What Dreams Are Made Of, the one furthest from me spiked the ball at me (I saw it as it was happening) and my phone literally flew 10 feet away. No biggie except I really wanted to film my daughter's reaction to hearing her absolute favorite song during the confetti part. As if that wasn't enough, when we went to leave, they were literally just standing there taking more selfies. No biggie, I asked to pass and they kept ignoring me. I had my daughter go first thinking of course they'd let a cute little kid go...nope! My daughter politely said excuse me, I politely said excuse me again, and they said they were busy. We shuffled by and I bumped one of them because we are both larger ladies and she yelled excuse me so loud that everyone turned to look at me like I was the a$$hole. This concert experience was 100% better than our failed attempt in Tinley Park, but I am left pondering why people can be so rude and cruel? We paid almost $1,000 when considering tickets, souvenirs, and hotel stay to see her in Grand Rapids. I, too, wanted and needed this millennial experience to get a break from the suffering of everyday life lol. Anyways, that's my rant. Please be kind, patient, and understanding. We all have stuff going on behind the scenes and can use grace. Anyways, the rest of you were AMAZING! Such a fun group!

Grand Rapids Show

We are driving in from Chicago and have a hotel nearby. My plan is for my hubby to drop my daughter and I off as close to the amphitheater as possible before the show. Afterwards, we will walk to our hotel. I read that parking at the amphitheater isn't really an option, so to park in any of the nearby lots and walk (mostly 5-10 minutes). For those who have been to this amphitheater or live nearby, is it safe to walk to and from? I'll be with my 9-year-old, so her safety is my utmost concern. But also, if my hubby walks from the hotel to the amphitheater to walk us back after the show, I want him safe too since he'll be by himself. I am sure I am overthinking this, but any insight would be helpful.
