I'M ON THE FRONT LEFT SEATS A1-A2   :D  i'm not sure if that's too far left though...the seating thing confused me a little...

Post by: ILoveHanson on February 08, 2005, 06:15:11 am
i dont even know what seats i am. i ordered mine by calling the venue. i was like i want front row a little to the left so i dont get blocked by the piano lol. so god only know what the hell she gave me.

seating chart here...i think the A on my tix stand for the row, so i'm not sure which section though...odd

edit:  took off the seating chart...i don't think it's correct
Title: 4/08/2005: Ritacco Theatre - Toms River, NJ
Post by: ILoveHanson on February 08, 2005, 06:39:12 am
im pretty sure theyre using the alternate seating chart - the one with only a right and a left section. the "center left" and "center right" sections are actually the back of the left and right sections, thats why u cant click on the seats in the front. im pretty sure my seats are left section seats 9 and 10. i guess by saying i wanted to be on the left, that goes like if you are ON the stage. i meant left if facing the stage.. but whatever lol.
Title: 4/08/2005: Ritacco Theatre - Toms River, NJ
Post by: BWilli on February 08, 2005, 06:46:43 am
how much did you pay per ticket?  10 or 16?

here's the alternate...so LEFT means section B i guess?  i just thought they were useing the 4 section seating, but maybe i'm wrong

Post by: ILoveHanson on February 08, 2005, 06:52:48 am
$16. i told her i wanted front row center but the seats in the left section (cuz u know like how the aisle separates it).. but she put me on the left if u are on the stage, not the left if ur facing the stage. so really im still front row center just on the opposite side of the aisle that i wanted to be, so itz not really that big of a deal lol.
Title: 4/08/2005: Ritacco Theatre - Toms River, NJ
Post by: BWilli on February 08, 2005, 06:56:05 am

Post by: BWilli on February 08, 2005, 09:41:19 am
to make it even more messed up, I called the info place, and they said the seating chart isn't the same as the one on website, that it's in a theater, which is different, so now i'm really lost...but the plus is that i'm still front row...i just dont know where in comparison to the stage   8O  :D  :!:

Dude, I'm SO lost on this one!!!
I have questions:
- where would be the best seating? (since I may be coming all the way from France for the show (not just this one though!), I figure I better have a good seat! lol)
- how do I get to the venue, say from NYC?
- are there places to stay (hotels and such) around the venue?
Thank youuuuu!

I don't know...the seating chart on the screen where you buy the tickets, doesn't show you where the stage is.  it looks like Rows A-R in both CENTER RIGHT and CENTER LEFT are sold out.  however, I can't figure out where that is in comparison to the stage. as i stated, i'm in section LEFT, but i don't know how far left that is...

We can Yahoo map that one out...

i haven't researched that but i'm sure this is a hotel around there

I believe that CENTER RIGHT and CENTER LEFT are sections behind RIGHT and LEFT where the equipment and what not is held. Do you know what I'm saying?

Okay I booked my ticket because they seem to sold out pretty fast! I'm in section LEFT, seat A-9 ($16 ticket). Hopefully that's good.
Now I need to figure out how to get there and where to sleep! lol
If someone offers me a ride and/or a place to crash for the night, I'd be veryyyy grateful! thank you :)

shit...if i had my own place, i'd let you stay, unfortunately (and how unfortunate it really is :evil: )  i still live with the folks, and have no extra space.  I'm also about 2 hours away from the venue (which kind of blows now that i think about it).  Don't know if anyone else lives closer to Toms River.

It's all good, thanks for offering, I was asking just in case....
I may be able to catch a bus back to NYC (the last one seems to be leaving Toms River by 11.45 pm) where I can find a place to stay.
But yeah, the best would be something in the show's area...

ghisy, have you looked into new jersey transit trains?  njtransit.com ... I am thinking about going, and if I was I would take the train.  I'm pretty sure there is a train that goes to Tom's River.  We could always meet in New York City and take the train together.  I was going to buy a ticket earlier, but I wasn't sure if Steph was going to come to this one or not.

I used to live there when I was a little kid.  I remember going to pre-school there, where I met my first love.  A girl by the name of Jennifer.  Then my brother decided to burn down the house we were living in.  I remember the last day at school, in the car when the girl named Jennifer wanted to give me a kiss.  I was embarressed to say the least with her mother and mine watching.  I was like, "No!," but eventually gave in and let her kiss me on the cheek...or something...I forget.  That is the last I saw of Jennifer.  And I left for New Hampshire.  To this day I have always wondered how she is doing.

Yeah, I want to go to this show.   If just to have an excuse to go to that town and look around.

Got an e-mail from someone at the Ritacco Center.  This is what she had to say about the seating:

Is in a different part of the complex.  The only chart we currently have online is when you buy the tickets.

The room is set up :


Left   /  Left Center   /   Center Right  /  Right


The best seats are in Left Center and Center Right.  If your seats have single letters they are in the front tier.

----------

this sounds to me like i paid $16 bucks a ticket to sit far left, when other payed $10 to sit dead center....that's a little strange i'd say


edit:

she sent me another e-mail....looks like my seats are closer to the wall, which might suck...but she said it was theater like, so i'm thinking that the Left and Right Sections might be angles slightly for a better view.  we shall see.  still can wait for the show.   :)

the way i'm picturing it, the layout makes perfect sense....it's just the prices that dont make any sense.  but what's done is done.  atleast i'm going to the show, i'm still sitting front row, just not front and center.  

I did notices that the CENTER LEFT and CENTER RIGHT SECTIONS filled up the quickest over on the ticket site.

(then again, there is always that chance where the woman really does have no idea, and i really am front and center   :razz: )  but i doubt that
Title: 4/08/2005: Ritacco Theatre - Toms River, NJ
Post by: ILoveHanson on February 16, 2005, 09:58:21 am
well i dunno but im skeptical. i was the first one to get tickets because i called the venue 15 minutes before they went on sale and the lady put me on hold for a sec, and came back and was like "yeah i can sell them to u now, why not." and she asked me where i wanted to sit and i was like, front row center!
so i got my tix and they are section left seats 10 and 11. if there really was only a left and right section these would in fact be front row center. if she screwed me over im gonna be wicked pissed!

Post by: BWilli on February 16, 2005, 11:15:02 am

Okay: help!!
I thought I figured out how to get to Toms River from NYC but now I have a doubt.
On njtransit.com, it says I'm getting at Bay Head, which, according to Yahoo maps, is like 14 miles from Toms River.
Is there any way to get to downtown Toms River from NYC??

ok...i hope this helps

it looks like you need to follow this highlighted part.

the highlighted 319 parts, look like the most direct from NYC to Toms River, making less stops.

there's a phone number there too:  1 888 TIPS NJT  (although i know that's probably really long distance for you)

Here I am in Toms River and no show, of course!  :(
I didn't have the choice since I couldn't cancel my reservation for the hotel at the last minute...
I guess I'm just gonna eat, watch some tv and sleep.
Great for an $80 hotel and no VC, huh?

I'm sorry to hear about it guys.  This is the one show I wanted to go to, but I have to stay responsible and save my money for my move to SF.  Otherwise I'd in the same boat as you all, especially Ghisy.  I hope she gets well soon.

I was thinking that if there is no other show at the Ritacco on April 10th, maybe they'll rechedule for then, seeming how she'll be in AC the night before...

BUT....Natalie Cole has a show then...so nevermind.

I'm leaving on March 30th.
And I'll be in FL from tomorrow until the 29th so I won't be able to come back up to NJ, even if the show is re-scheduled around that time...

The show is rescheduled for April 8th, as posted on the official site and the venue's website (http://www.ritaccocenter.com).  There is also a seating chart on the venue's site now, there was some confusion previously.

thanks for the update



two shows in a row...a first for me...should be kick ass though  :D
Title: 4/08/2005: Ritacco Theatre - Toms River, NJ
Post by: nosticker on March 24, 2005, 08:47:40 pm
I'm not too happy.  I now have to take a day off from work...PLUS, even though it lists Ari Hest as the opener, it conflicts with two(yes two) other gigs he has that day, so I doubt that is coming off.

At least it's a Nessa show!

i dont need to take the day off, i'll just leave work earlier...


however, what bothers me is that I have to drive down to Toms River (bout 1 1/2 hours) and back Friday....then drive down to AC (2 1/2 hours) the next day....but it should no doubt be worth it   :D

I'll be there, oh and if your looking at the seating chart, you want the "alternate" chart, i'm pretty sure cause of how my  tix are saying, i don't know though so someone clue me in! Dan, if you want i can give you a ride or vice versa what ever you want!

according to the woman who works there, the seating charts on the website do not pertain to this concert...supposedly, this concer is in a separate theater....i'm still pretty confuse about it.

There's a seating chart up now that wasn't available on the venue's website when tickets originally went on sale.  Like you said, it's in a separate theater, so the seating chart you want is the one that says "RC Theater."  It's at the bottom of the list so you have to select it when you go to the page with the seating chart.  I'll link to it here:

I'm most likely going to the Retardo Center from work, along with Carolyn.  So many ppl are off from my work that day, so they couldn't bear to be without me!(not)

Anyway, yes Nicole, I do plan on catching up with Ari at some point....would have caught him at The Chance yesterday, but I had prior commitments.
