Kind of disappointed

So first of all, I would like to say I was so grateful to be able to go to two shows (Hartford and Boston). I know some people couldn't get tix, and some people don't have jobs right now and can't afford tickets, so yeah, I was glad to go. Plus, I LOVE the fact that I feel like I always get my moneys worth with any PJ show. They always give 110% and sound great.
I had floor tickets and I am 5"2. I literally did not SEE any of the Boston show. Nada. Yup, I could hear it and that's grand, but it would have loved to have seen just a little of it. I was section G row 1 and on top of not being able to see due to my stature (thanks Mom and Dad for the crap genes) but I had this douchey security guard pacing in from on me. I was so annoyed.
Anyway, anybody else have this problem? Any suggested solutions?
Towards the end of the show as I was thinking how disappointed I was, they broke into Crown of Thorns, and that turned it all around for me, but still...just releasing....

Problem solved....
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
Outdoor shows are elevated.
Indoor shows you just have to hope for the lottery or wings.
For me I have been so very fortunate. Only got stuck on Philly I last year.
This happens to so many, I've talked with many women and yes it can be very disappointing. The crowd shifted for me and parted so I could see Eddie thru half of KC. but not the other guys. I've found now that I have to take the whole experience, the travel, the exploring of a city, the memory making with Hubby, the meeting of fans making new friends and put it all together with the show to help with disappointment. Not hearing any of my wishlist songs was tough, cause even if you can't see them you just close your eyes and you hear them. I remain hopeful for my songs next time. And you shall remain hopeful, you will see them next time.
I was only able to see because my seats were on the aisle and I was able to move into the aisle just enough to see just fine (when the security guys would leave me alone).
I do wish 10C would give seats on the side more than the floor when you get to the back of the floor, but as others have said if you go with 10C seats you have to be willing to take what they give you. Overall, I have been quite happy with how I have done and am always happy to just be present at these incredible concerts.

and I was 21st row center for both Hartford and Newark.
I am 6'1" and still had trouble seeing. But I guess thats the price I have to pay for being in the back of that first group of 10c members seated in the front of the floor. I suppose one or two more tours and I will be close enough so that I am the guy blocking everyone's view.
Folks with higher numbers were assigned to the wings, then even higher numbers were assigned to the middle floor sections.
The one good thing about being farther back on the floor is that its the best spot for the sound.
Sorry I didn't make that clear. We have been attending with my 13 and 15 year old sons, so I was on the floor with the 15 year old (who is taller than I am) and my wife was on the side with my younger son.

but yah... the TM idea sounds like less of a hassel for you and them
http://seanbriceart.com/
why are most of you guys so damn tall????????
and it really doesn't help when you keep those arms up over your head...holding license plates & poster tubes !!!
definitely would prefer side seats al ittle higher up then floor from mid to back rows
Good thing Bristow staff had the sense to move me to behind the sound booth. The big screens really helped too.
It is.
But maybe I just feel like that because I’m in a permanent seated position.
There was an idea going around here once. It was a joke I think but it made perfect sense to me.
Dole Ten Club seats out according to height.
Good idea...will keep that in mind. My shortness had floor seats way back at the Seattle and San Diego '09 shows. LUCKILY though, they were aisle seats both times (in the center) so i could see most but damn my neck hurt the next day~
Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
Don't be a douche bag.
At V-fest in Calgary, we started the show about 20 feet from the stage.
Between douche-bag crowd-surfers + gigantic fans,
we eventually retreated to about 80 feet away.
+ even THEN we still had to deal with gigantic people! :evil:
+ that is why we're NOT going to see the New Pornographers next month...
... Dammit.
Cheers.
