We are trying to switch to a tabbed version of our team/product pages at SeatGeek.com, but where all tabs (only 2 right now) are viewed as one document by the search engines.
I am pretty sure we have this working for the most part, but would love some quick feedback from you all as I have never worked with this approach before and these pages are some of our most important.

New Version with tabs:

Notes:
- Content not displayed stacked on browser when Javascript turned off, but it is in the source code.
- Content shows up in Google cache of new page in the text version.
- In our implementation the JS is currently forcing the event to end before the default behavior of adding #about in this case to the url string - this can be changed, should it be?
- Related to this, the developer made it so that typing http://seatgeek.com/miami-heat-tickets/#about directly into the browser does not go to the tab with copy, which I imagine could be considered spammy from a human review perspective (this wasn't intentional).
- This portion of the code is below the truncated view of the fetch as Googlebot, so we didn't have that resource.
- Are there any issues with hidden text / is this too far down in the html?
Any/all feedback appreciated. I know our copy is old, we are in the process of updating it for this season.
