Welcome to the forums DianaP. Yes, it is incorrect.I find it very annoying when people use the word "At" at the end of a phrase such as: "Where is it at?". Is that incorrect?
I remember when my husband asked me: What time are you finished at? It took a while for me to get it.. after two weeks he's got his answer. :lol:
I think English as a live language have to evolved. It means for me the native speaking person will make many grammer mistakes which could develop into another grammer rule :shock:
Grammer rules are not creating the language. The language is a creator of grammer rules.
Don't let yourself down because of grammer mistakes it is only a sign the language is healty.
Thanks everyone on this webside, it helps me to UNDERSTAND;-)

It's all what you're used to. I've heard people say "Are you coming with?" and that grates.
I, personally, find them less objectionable, though I would probably say, 'Where is it taking place? Where is it being held?' or even, of a film, ''Where's it on?'I'm interested in the general dislike of this phrase. Would there be similar objections to e.g.
1. Which venue is it at?
Or, if you were to invite me to some event, and I replied,
2. Yes, where is it at?
would that be the same case?
