Ticketmaster is selling obstructed view seats. When I think obstructed view I think pillar or speaker right in my face, but I think awkward view would be the better choice of words for this sale.

When I saw PJ in 2003, I sat very close to these seats (only one box further back). The view shouldn't really be obstructed, especially with only 1 or 2 people on stage. The view will be very vertical though, by that I mean you'll probably be seeing the tops of people's heads on stage rather than faces.

The only way I can visualize these as being obstructed is if the stage is going to have front curtains or giant side speakers. But if you got shut out, or are contemplating a second night, I would buy them.

    it actually looks like they are adding seats. I am coming up with box p seat 10, but the seats only go to 8.. i think they are putting fold out chairs behing the box seats, meaning i will have a full view if i stand, i think obstructed means behind other seats....

    well, I bought the ticket, but the seat does not exist on nay seating chart i can find. the benarya hall detailed seating chart has box p only going to seat 8, and I have seat 10, whats more is i am in the "founders teir second teir" problem with that is the first teir is called the "founders teir" and the second teir is called the "second teir"... so what teir am I in. I can only assume they are putting chairs behind the 1 row of chairs in each box, but who knows, at least im in the building right?

    so here is the best seating chart i can find. it looks like box t is right next to the stage, buyt, like me, you have seats that do not exist on the chart, they only go to seat 8. it looks like there is room for additional chairs ( 1 or 2 ) behind seats 1-4 though. i think that is what is happening. so as long as you can see over the head of the people in those seats, you can see just fine. of course i dont really know what the fuck im talking about, but that is my best guess.
