I'd be curious. It is pretty standard to inform the ticket holder they have obstructed views before buying the ticket. Saying you may be far back and having an obstructed view are completely different things. I mean, I'd rather have a clean view from nose bleeds than site right behind the sound tent on the field.
Bad seats was fair game, obstructed view I think wasn't right, especially at $250 a pair.

Really it would just be nice to get an apology and a statement saying "We are sorry for the obstructed seats, we will make sure to not include these in future drawings"
Thats all just hypothetical, I actually had great seats. I just think its a valid complaint and I dont think its right, those seats usually go for a discount.0 -

This is another why 10c needs to change their ticket policy. I mean how can they say here pay for these tickets, i'm not going to tell you where they are, if theyre obstructed or if better seats will be available after. Oh and if you dont like them too bad you can only sell 1 and if you only wanted 1 in the first place, too bad you have to buy 2.UBC 92, Vancouver 93, Vancouver 98, Seattle 02, Vancouver 03, Vancouver 05, Gorge 06, Gorge 06,Seattle 09,Seattle 09, Vancouver09, Montreal 11, Toronto 11,Toronto 11, Vancouver 11,Vancouver 13, Seattle 130

Thats all just hypothetical, I actually had great seats. I just think its a valid complaint and I dont think its right, those seats usually go for a discount.I don't doubt they were 10C tickets. We were in Grandstand 28 for N1. Fortunately, the pole in that section only obstructs a swath of the infield, so it's not bad for a concert. I feel like there was a fan on here railing against the obstructed views, and that he claimed it was marked on his ticket. Regardless, the more I think about it, the more I think the 10C could have done something after the lottery. I don't put too much on them for the way seats were assigned (i.e. I don't think they're going to inspect every seat to verify it's not obstructed before assigning it), but yeah, maybe after the fact, give the shafted fans a way to reach out and maybe exchange their tickets for less obstructed (though perhaps farther from the stage) seats? Especially given the "You can only sell one of your 10C tickets" restriction - even if you were able to score better seats via one of the later ticket drops or StubHub, you were still stuck with one ticket you "couldn't" sell (I know there were ways around it, but no one was ever *quite* sure they'd work, and I'm not sure many people would be comfy paying $125 for a screenshot of a ticket.Essentially, I believe the 10C did the best they could to get the most seats they could, and I don't blame them for getting sections that had some obstructed view seats, but yes, I do agree they might have been able to do more to help fans improve their sight lines."I'm a lucky man, to count on both hands the [shows I've done].

pjl44 said:Big Bank Hank said:kst said:10c clearly disclosed seats may be far back or high up. That alone would be disappointing but not really something to complain about. On the other hand to my knowledge there was no disclosure about major obstructions such as the pole someone showed in a photo on this thread. In my opinion someone could legitimately have a complaint about that.
Personally my biggest complaint is they did not play Unthought Known either night. There's no way there are 60 better songs than that. I'm sorry but I never heard of Buffalo Tom. Did we really need two of that song or any of the other repeats and no UK. I mean seriously how does that happen? Shows were still good and knowing what I know now I would do it all again but that was a major omission. One fan's view.
Edit: Just re-read the original comment and that's pretty dick, too. You two deserve each other. I'm jumping on the positivity thread.0 -

That is unless they were verified fan as you said. In that case, yes, different story. But from what I read he said they were 10c.0 -
My tickets in GS9, the pic with the pole that had a 9 on it were my 10C seats and were not marked obstructed view in any way.
I dealt with it, and it was a good show, but still disappointing.
Here is the official wording from the sale:
Reserved Seating: In order to accommodate more Ten Club members than ever before, please be aware Ten Club seated tickets will be spread further back than usual, and include some of the best seat locations in the house. For Seattle, Chicago and Boston this includes seats on the field, seats in the lower level of the bowl and seats in the front rows of the upper level. For Missoula, seats are located throughout the 100 level. Reserved seated tickets are assigned to members based on seniority in the Ten Club and will start closest to the stage extending back.
Yes it says spread further back, but it also says "and include some of the best seat locations in the house". Many of the best views are further back as if you are not in the front of the field, the field is terrible for someone short like me. I was expecting to be back, way back because of my number, but with a good view. Nothing states anywhere they could be obstructed. Could it be the RS or TM fault for not labeling these tickets obstructed view? Possibly
What gets me if there were obstructed view tickets on TM for this show up until the day of. I could have at least saved $80 on a pair......or if I knew they were going to be obstructed and I had such a number I probably would not have even entered and waited until someone offered a good 10C seat for face. I had the opportunity to grab many Field B row 1 or other seats with amazing views offered my members, but I was stuck with my pair that I did not know had a pole in front of them.
It is what it is I guess
