Comment on Live Nation Wacked Out with $135 General Admission Lawn Seats by KJ

Actually, the $135 lawn seats were a VIP package which also included access to the soundcheck (not just preferred parking and a laminate…). It’s not like they were forcing fans to pay that much money, you could still buy lawn seats for around $40. Same goes for the $250 seats. Those were VIP seats which included admission to the soundcheck. $250 is actually quite reasonable when you compare it to VIP packages for other artists.. This also wasn’t the only way to get close seats. There were plenty of floor seats released for the normal ticket value.

You can still see well from the left and right center sections, especially the low seat numbers. The far left and right sections may pose a problem if you’re sitting too close to the wall, you may miss some of the action in the back corner of the side you are on. After the orchestra pit, which is the same distance as about 3 rows, you have rows AA-DD, so Row A is the 5th row from the pit or about a 8 rows from the stage. You should be able to see the facial features fine from Row A. Getting to much closer and you would see those facial features better, but may lose a bit of the sound quality. The pictures usually don’t give an accurate view, in most cases they make the stage seem further away. As a general rule, if you like 5 rows back from the orchestra at a certain venue, it will most likely be similar at another theatre.

Want to take my family to see Wicked at the Boston Opera House. Read your comment above & wanted your opinion on seating also. Want the family to be able to see all the special effects, sets, etc. Would like them to even see the faces of the actors. Would this be possible on either the right or left sides of the orchestra section if we had close seats such as the 5th row or back? No obstruction to the action? If we chose the orchestra center I see where your article states to start at A no closer. Would Row A be too close also or is that a great row to take in everything. Would having the orchestra that close interfere at all with hearing the actors? What about as far back as the orchestra center row H? That should take in the entire stage but would we be able to experience seeing the faces of the actors clearly? We are used to going to North Shore Theatre where we can see everything so clearly. Looking at what pics are on the website of the Boston Opera Company it is hard to determine just how far away you are from the stage say in row H. Want to make it an awesome experience for the family.
I value your opinion. Bill

Comment on Fan Alleges Ticket Fraud with American Express Preferred Seating by brian

The same thing (sort of) happened to me. I purchased tickets to the Radio City Music Christmas Spectacular. I actually thought that I would be getting a deal as well. No deal, same price and my brother bought tickets through Ticketmaster to the same show days later and got better seats then me at the same price. American Express Preferred Seating is a joke – don’t waste your time!
