Weird Question

[tr1]

We have tickets for the Staples Center show. We are sitting in the 300's. The top section. On the ticket it says "rear or limited view".
My question is, we are in section 303 which is nowhere near the back of the stage. Does anyone know what rear or limited view could mean if it's not behind the stage or at the side? Just wondering.
On The Staples Website section 303 looks to see everything perfectly.

Not sure. Hopefully you are not seated behind a giant pole.

What row? If its towards the back, there might be a pole next to you.

Row 13 in section 303.
I never noticed any poles at Staples Center.

There can be obstructions if you're sitting in the last two or three rows, based on what the back wall is like. This is common in a lot of arenas. If it says it on your ticket, chances are you are sitting right next to/in the line of sight of one.

From all the pictures I've seen the only obstruction looks like the scoreboard hanging down. But that is still high enough to see the stage. I'm praying there's no pole in front of me. I might have to slip into another section.

I would say yes if it was the upper sections right next to the stage. I couldn't see squat at some points in Atlanta because of the four screens that move around over the stage and I was in the 300 section. But you're far enough away where I don't think that would be a problem.

If the ticket says its a limited view, that means its partially obstructed. Its most definitely not a mistake. Its probably an outcrop of the back wall at the top of the arena where an HVAC vent is, or something. They wouldn't sell the ticket if it had a completely obstructed view, though.

Edit- looking at the arena, maybe the seat is at the end of one of the stairways, so the limited view might be from people on the stairway? Call the Staples Center box office- they'll be able to tell you exactly what the obstruction is.

You're always trying to make me look stupid!
