Go for the crown club seats instead. They have a nice buffet included and there are lots of people to meet and mingle with. After you dine and socialize, you can step out to your seats, which are all excellent! If there's a rain delay, you can dart back into the club level to stay dry. I go every year and it's awesome.
I guess it depends on where you were sitting. My other friends were up much higher and they thought it was ok.
Did you think it was too high on all three nights, or just finals night?
When I was at Allentown, Phantom Regiment synth bass was so loud it completely drowned out the horn line on several occasions.
