side stage/view question

Anyone that has sat side stage this tour have any viewing issues? I.E. lighting rig blocking the view or speakers/monitors blocking views?
I'm a fan club member and just bought side stage tix on Stub Hub 10th row. The tickets say obstructed/partial view. I've been to enough PJ shows to know there stage set up is pretty wide open. So i'm hoping it says obs./part. view because it's side view or slightly back view. Any feedback from you guys would be greatly appreciated.

    I sat side stage Stone's side in Worcester, amazing! I love the proximity and being able to see the band interact with each other. It did mean that I saw less of Mike but that's OK, since I'm generally always on Mike's side. Sitting all the way on Stone's side actually gave me a totally different perspective which I never had before, and it was great!

    I sat in section 121, see this seating chart: http://www.dcucenter.com/maps.php
    Here's a picture from that section, you can decide for yourself

    Hartford 12th row Boom's side was great ( no obstruction )
    I think PJ does a great job in limiting obstruction when possible.
    Many times side stage sections automatically state possible obstruction on ticket which does not always hold true

    Here's another from my Worcester side stage seat. Some zooming involved, but you get the idea :)

    We were in section 115 in Pittsburgh, on Mike's side, and had a blast. These were the best seated tickets I ever had. No obstructed view and the sound was fantastic.

    View from the opposite side, you can see the Bud Light sign in the upper right corner:

    I think you don't need to worry. Have a great show :wave:
    Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!

    great pics!!! I'm feeling very good about my seats now. Originally I didn't think I could make Spokane, so I didn't go for 10c tix. My sched cleared up so I hit up the STUB.

    I pulled up side stage seats on Mike's side for Worcester on TM, and went for it. I have a high 10C number (419xxx), so I'm never going to get up-close seats through the fan club (not complaining -- I like my seats just fine).

    It was really, really awesome to be so close. There were no obstructions. Let me see if I can post a pic. :oops:

    Hmm. Let's try this. Sorry, I'm bad at this.

    I don't want to be the guy to raise any alarms, because I'm sure 99% of side stage seats are great, but I got (temporarily) unlucky at the London, ON show.
    My seats were 6th row in the section directly beside the stage, Stone's side. If you look at SuziMay's first picture, there's a circular thing almost dead centre in the photo. I had that thing directly between myself and Ed, like right were his mic is set up, which was pretty frustrating. Thankfully there were open seats at the end of our row so I just moved down.
    So basically unless you are in that exact seat you should be fine, the other thousand seats offer a great view.

    WTF is that circular thing anyway? Like you said, if that's the biggest obstruction, I should be o.k..... Thank you so much for your feedback.
