The front row sucks. If you are talking about front row orch and not front row mezz.
I rushed last summer and got front row seats. The stage is awfully high and everything from their ankles down is out of view. You can't really see the dog in the beginning either. I know it doesn't seem like a big deal, but it was kind of annoying.
