Well, on the ticketmaster purchase page, you can look up venue seating and they did have the floor sections split up.  I find it odd that it's GA and split up though

Ughh, what a sad thread!  It wasn't even on the 1st page.  C'mon Charleston represent.

I got some questions for some peoples that know the area.  My and my friend are planning on spending two nights here.  The 1st night after the show we might be shot after driving for 9 hours but Thursday, what is there to do that you recommend?

1st off, I LOVE food.  What is a great locals only joint that makes the good shit?  Barbecue, shrimp and grits, etc.  Also, a cool joint to take in some good music in a smaller setting.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. :)

I hear it's an awesome city and it's my 1st time and I can't wait.

Hyman's isn't exactly a 'locals only', may even be considered touristy...but damn good food, i've been going there for many years whenever i'm in town and will be hitting it up at least once this trip

There's several places you could check for a good scene...downtown, I'd go to The Vendue Inn to their rooftop bar either in the afternoon or evening.  They usually have some music, but the setting can't be beat, also have good food.  If you want a cool spot on the water go to Shem Creek in Mt Pleasant.  Red's is a good one there, having local catch and should have a nice crowd come Thursday eve.
Now, as far as the true food spots, the best in my opinion are Five Loves which is downtown on Cannon, or the Mustard Seed in Mt P.  Both spots have numerous nightly specials and usually have a bomb risotto dish!  Both medium priced, but delicious.
Higher priced spot that I recommend is The Red Drum Gastro Pub in Mt. Pleasant.  Always good!

Basically, this is an easy question to answer because Charleston has hella places to get good food.

When in doubt, eat dirt, but listen to The Jacket!

Thanks jackass and especially llama for all the recommendations.  I looked up all of them and you definitely recommended a wide range of places.

Why eat dirt when you can eat good and see the Jacket? 8-)

Talking from experience, the Family Circle Tennis Center is a great venue, even when not filled. The floor might be standing or seats; it depends on the concert (check for seat numbers; if not, its probably standing). Don't feel tied to sitting there, though; the place has excellent acoustics. I once gave up my seat to sit on the absolute top row and I still heard a great show. Still, if you do go for the floor, it's kinda cool to run around on one of the only green clay courts in the world.  :)

Compared to some of the larger ampitheatres (looking at you, Verizon), the security is less oppressive and more helpful, the parking situation much nicer, and the food all around much cheaper and higher quality. This place is no stranger to concerts; they host Hootie and The Blowfish (hometown heroes), OAR, and more each year.

I envy all of you that go; the venue is an awesome place to see music, and I wish I were still in Charleston just so I could be there.

I'm looking forward to it.  My wife will be about 8 months pregnant at the time, we're having a little girl so never to early to introduce her to some great music.  

I'm hoping they will play a nice long set, but most of all please, pretty please play Steam Engine!!

I agree on all those places....and Mustard Seed=amazing and relatively cheap!

If you want some "away from the crowd ambiance" go over to Sullivan's Island and go by Off the Hook (music, dj's on weekends), Home Team BBQ (one of the ONLY good BBQ places in SC...coming from a Memphis boy), and you MUST eat a hamburger from Poe's Tavern!!!!!!!!!!!!  I always go with "The Sleeper".  THE best burger I have yet to taste.  Edgar Allan Poe lived on Sullivan's Island for over a year while he was in the military.

If you still want more music after The Jacket  (yeah right)...hit up The Windjammer or Music Farm

Anyone up for a post MMJ rock show, be sure to check out...

[size=12]DEAD CONFEDERATE[/size] @ [size=12]The Pour House[/size] (James Island)

***The Pour House is a great spot where most of the local Jacket fans will be gathering before the show for FREE music on the deck, a nice selection of craft beer and incredible, authentic cuban food from El Bohio! It was voted 'Best Place to See Live Music' in Charleston last month as well!
