Anyone ever sit in 202 V V (the obstructed view portion of vv)?

Just how "obstructed is it? I've read that pretty much anything in section 202 is pretty good, but concerned...

    That doesn't seem so bad, is that a pic that you took?

    I've done a bit of research on this, since we got obstructed view seats in 202 Row CCC for Sat. night.

    From the seating chart you can see the obstructed view sections are behind the large poles...

    But from this photo, it doesn't look the pole is too wide/big/blocking...

    I pulled up another photo of the lawn view looking down, but now I can't find that photo.

    And then I found this video on TwoFeetThick where Ed climbed said pole during Porch in 1992!

    We can only hope that happens again! All in all, I think it will be okay and I am just happy to have a seat.

    Eh, I'm okay with it, as the Lawn really doesn't appeal to me. I guess if we are on this side, we may not be able to see Mike the whole time, but if we are on the other side, we may not be able to see Stone.

    eh, would not worry that much, by time show starts, people will fill the aisles and anyone really 'obstructed' would likely be able to squeeze into an open spot. something tells me their AV ushers will not be nazi ushers shining flashlights, could be wrong there but still would not worry about it.

    That's funny, I also have section 202 row CCC for saturday night. When I received the download tickets and it said limited view I have to admit I got a little worried. But from the looks of the pictures, it doesn't look all that bad to me.

    That looks to be a pretty old photo.

    There are some pretty good pics in this thread.

    I noticed that stubhub.com has tix for seats...
    obviously they are more $$ than ticketmaster, but some are not too bad.
    Might be worth it not having to worry about the weather...
