Seems like I'm going to be on a budget for the rest of my life. So at times. I feel if something nice comes up I will try to go. Earlier this year I searched concert dates for my favorite artist. It wasn't many dates. But a few months ago. Scrolling through my Facebook time-line about 3am. I saw a Stevie Wonder concert post. I really thought I was dreaming because Stevie Wonder (My Ribbon In The Sky song guy) was my first one on my bucket list to see in concert. Not caring what the cost was. I quickly grabbed my debit card and saw there was only a few tickets left. Didn't even check where the seat was. But I immediately hit the purchase 1 single ticket. Yes. It wound up being a little pricey for my budget. But I didn't care. Just thinking about Stevie possibly playing that harmonica while singing Ribbon In The Sky in person was worth any price. I had a few months until the show. I was so hype I was close to at least one of my favorite entertainers. Finally. The week of the concert. I was taking someone somewhere and a Stevie Wonder song came on the radio talking about him being in Philadelphia that week. I got hype because I had totally forgotten I had a real concert ticket to see him. Lol I pulled up the calendar and was like omg I better get my outfit together and make sure I haven't been invited to a gathering because I was not going to make that gathering 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 The day of the concert. I went to the other house telling them all in excitement I had a date that night. They all ignored me. Lol Being single and all them men still in my life is tough 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I wanted to say honestly I have a date with Stevie Wonder. But since they took the attitude approach and ignored me. I just left out saying I'll call yall tomorrow so please don't bother me tonight 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I'm surprised something wasn't thrown at me as I left out all joe😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fast forward to the one and only,once in a lifetime Stevie Wonder concert at Wells Fargo in Philadelphia ❤️ Remind yall. My foot was very messed up when I purchased my ticket and still messed up at the concert. I was in a lot of pain. But that did not stop me from this Stevie Wonder experience. I had a ball. Stevie Wonders String band was almost good as Stevie Wonder himself. When he took out his harmonica for the first time. I cried. That was so special after all my years of hearing Stevie Wonder songs or videos and watching him on TV play the harmonica. But to hear and see him live? Yes. I absolutely cried. That really touched perfectly in my life at the right time that night at The Wells Fargo Center❤️ His children brought him out on the stage and he talked and joked a lot. He sang so many of his greatest hits and still plays that piano without missing a beat. I never would have guessed I would ever be in the same building with Stevie Wonder. The only downfall that evening was my foot was messed up and I couldn't go try and get closer to the stage to get a selfie. During intermission I bought my tshirt to add to the memory and went home feeling like I finally did something I wanted to do❤️ It's now been a few weeks since the concert. And I am still feeling the sparks from being in the same building as The One and Only Stevie Wonder ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ And not just any building. The Wells Fargo Center in...

I recently had the pleasure of attending a thrilling Philadelphia 76ers game against the Boston Celtics at the Wells Fargo Center, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Thanks to the Premium Team for all their help and hospitality in downloading my ticket and providing me with the comfort of being under the heating lamps until the situation was resolved 🫶
From the moment I stepped into the arena, I was enveloped by the electrifying atmosphere. The excitement in the air was palpable, with fans sporting their favorite jerseys and cheering enthusiastically. The arena itself is a stunning facility, designed to create an immersive experience for every spectator. The sight of the towering scoreboard and the vibrant team colors painted throughout the venue set the stage for an exhilarating evening.
I was fortunate to be seated in Suite 34, courtesy of Maraine McCormack and the leadership team of Univest Bank, which added a touch of luxury to the event. The suite was spacious, packed with sweet, decadent delights of different cocktails styled food assortments and well-appointed, providing a perfect view of the court. The comfortable seating allowed for relaxation while still keeping an eye on all the action unfolding below us. Watching the players skillfully navigate the hardwood floor, with the electrifying backdrop of the crowd's cheers, was nothing short of mesmerizing.
Our server, Miss Gloria, truly elevated our experience with her exceptional service. She was phenomenal—attentive, friendly, and always ready to help with a warm smile. Whether it was ensuring we had our favorite snacks or refreshing our drinks, she made sure we felt pampered throughout the game. My favorite the choice for red wine Merlot💙❤️🤍💃🏻. Her dedication to guest satisfaction did not go unnoticed, and it significantly enhanced our enjoyment of the evening. Thanks Miss Gloria‼️
As the game progressed, I found myself completely engrossed in the intense rivalry unfolding before my eyes. The energy in the arena swelled with every basket made, as fans collectively rose to their feet, roaring in support of the home team. It was a rollercoaster of emotions, filled with breathtaking plays and heart-stopping moments. The camaraderie among the fans, united by our shared passion for the 76ers, added to the overall excitement of the night.
The Wells Fargo Center is more than just an arena; it's a celebration of sports and community. The combination of top-notch facilities, passionate fans, and amazing service creates an environment that is truly special. This experience reminded me of the power of live sports to bring people together, fostering connections that extend beyond the game itself.
In conclusion, my night at the Wells Fargo Center was a delightful escape filled with excitement and joy. I left the arena with a full heart and cherished memories, eager to return for more incredible events in the future. Thank you, Wells Fargo Center, for making this a night...
Read moreDisappointed Experience at Wells Fargo Center – WWE Event
I want to share my experience attending the WWE event at the Wells Fargo Center with my children, as it was meant to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for them. Given that one of my children requires a portable chemotherapy device, I made the effort to purchase seats in the Club section (C-17), assuming that the extra cost would provide a more controlled and comfortable environment for access to restrooms, food, and beverages. The ADA options seemed prohibitively expensive, so this seemed like the best alternative.
While the tickets did mention "limited visibility," we expected that the overall Club-level experience would be ideal for two young kids. However, upon arrival, things took an unfortunate turn. After being directed towards our section, we walked and walked, only to reach C-16 and receive unclear and rather unfriendly guidance from an usher who simply told us to go back to the main concourse and find another route. Confused and overwhelmed, we asked if he could assist us further, and while he initially seemed to help, he merely led us to the entrance of the escalators—only to then instruct the staff there not to allow any further entry to section C-17.
Eventually, we did manage to reach our seats, but the experience was far from what was promised. While we could still enjoy the event despite the limited view, the disappointment and frustration overshadowed what should have been a special and exciting night. For a price of $230 per ticket, I expected a significantly better experience, especially considering that the seating and amenities were nearly identical to general admission tickets priced at just $35.
This experience left us feeling let down, particularly because this was the only opportunity for my children to witness a WWE event live. I hope that the Wells Fargo Center can improve the way they handle situations like this in the future, ensuring that guests—especially those with specific needs—receive the proper guidance and support...
