Obstructed view for 10C seats at Fenway

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess most people would consider having a pole in your face all night is not a "good seat". 

Season ticket holders get a presale option to purchase tix.  10C has the option to not sell garbage.  Period.  Personally, I'm not happy to "just be in the building" spending over $100/ticket for something that doesn't allow you to see and have horrible sound quality.  You could sit out on Landsdowne Street and watch a Periscope feed and get that wonderful experience for nothing.

Grandstand 7 is closer to the stage than Field Box 130, but GS7 has some obstructed view seats. Which seats do you give to lower numbers?

Here are my 10C tickets not marked obsteucted......who can I complain to because I sure as hell am going to

was that from night 2?  I was right next to it.  in sect.95 row xx.  The two guys that were behind me that were obstructed by it, they weren't mad at all, they laughed about it and took it in good stride.

It was night 2. The people in front of us took it in stride 

yeah two guys? They took it lightly which was good in a way.

When you buy Red Sox tickets (and other concerts) at Fenway, your tickets are specifically noted as obstructed or limited view.  This did not happen with 10c tickets.  If you like a pole in front of your face because your closer to still not seeing anything, god bless.  Me, no.

Because if it's not a thing, 10c will continue to do it.  Not all of us are lemmings who are just happy to be in the building.

what does the band/10c owe any of us? let’s turn all of the ticketing back over to ticketmaster, should be a breeze for us all then. just gets old having to see complaints about everything that is PJ live.

merch situation sucks! ok, let’s park a trailer outside so the fans can get shit before the show. yet that still gets complaints.

set lists not diverse enough, too many repeats! ok, let’s do Charlottesville or Moline or Greensboro, etc, PLUS marathon performances. yet that still gets complaints.

soundboard recordings? check.
small town USA? check.
consistently on the road? check.
baseball stadiums? check.
Mike, picks please? check.

i get a complaint about an obstructed view, but who doesn’t know this is a possibility at ANY show? call me a lemming just happy to be in the building...but we are so fuckin’ lucky to be a part of a once in a generation fan base, it’s sick!

maybe i’m in the minority to just feel fortunate enough to be able to say that i was a part of something that my grandkids can look back on and say “fuck yea”? if so, i’m glad to be part of that group.

i’m sorry if i offended either of you, or anyone else with the snide comment, but we are pretty goddamn lucky to be a part of those guys’ artistic visions.

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.

ugh! I have gotten Unthought Blown twice, the only song off of Backspacer in my 4 shows post the LP's 2009 release, and aside from Johnny Guitar it's my least favorite song on the album & yes I can come up with 60+ PJ songs better than UK, but whatever, hopefully you get it lots in the future, you can always camp out for 3 days next time and stand at the rail and let Eddie know how bad you want to hear it, EV really likes the song so you won't have to twist his arm too much to play it

This is the most needlessly aggressive response to someone liking a song that I've ever seen

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.

No more silly baseball stadium shows

This!

I crave for a smoked filled bar show , no screens no poles no turf just a small stage a couple of bars in the back and working bathrooms , fuck any stadium show I wouldn’t attend even if they played Citifield or Yankee stadium...this band lost its guts long time ago this is my own personal opinion..

Obstructed view would suck.  Not sure how you can make an argument against this?  I’ve been behind stage at arena shows and did not have a problem...but I knew I bought those tix, a pole in front of me without knowing ahead of time, would really lessen the experience.
