Would TM give you "limited viewing" seats w/o telling you?

    No, they almost always have a limited view warning if you pull up tickets with a bad view. And, actually, I've heard a lot of the limited view tagged tickets turn out to be fine.
    I pledge to you a government that will not only work well, but wisely, its ability to act tempered by prudence, and its willingness to do good, balanced by the knowledge that government is never more dangerous than when our desire to have it help us blinds us to its great power to harm us.

    They say them on the ticket, but not before you buy them :(

    Well then I guess sometimes they don't tell you. I remember when I saw Kings Of Leon, though, I pulled up some that were right near the soundboard which said "**LIMITED VIEW**: View may be obstructed by soundboard."

    I don't think so. For the Chicago shows, there was a separate section for the limited view seats...
    6-29-98 Chicago---10-9-00 Chicago---4-23-03 Champaign---6-18-03 Chicago---5-16-06 Chicago---8-5-07 Chicago---8-22-08 Chicago (EV)---
    8-23-09 Chicago---8-24-09 Chicago---6-28-11 Chicago (EV)---9-3-11 Alpine---9-4-11 Alpine

    Well for the EV Santa Cruz gig back in April, I had this very same issue happen to me. Was happy with my selection when it pulled up on ticketmaster so I purchased it. Once I got my tickets it said "obstructed" view and I felt taken.

    So I called the venue and they assured me that I wouldn't have any obstructions but i was still a little bit skeptical. Once I got to the show though I was a happy camper as there were no obstructions and i was about 30 feet from the stage.

    Can't guarantee it'll be the same for you, but if you're worried I would recommend contacting the actual venue box office to see what they say. I bet you'll be fine.

    Enjoy the show!

    got obstructed view from TM once. Didn't find out until I got there. Was at the Comcast Whatever it's called in Philly. I was supposed to be in the very top row. Usher told us we had obstructed view & had to be moved... Needless to say the 3rd row tickets they replaced them with were a nice surprise!

    Today for the Chicago tickets, you could select limited viewing tickets.

    I landed a pair over two ours after the sale. They are in a decent section. I hope they are okay, I'm just glad to be going.
