However, I'm worried that I may have accidentally gotten a seat meant for someone with a wheelchair or other needs...it didn't have any special icon or anything on the "dot" on the seating chart, but I noticed after I bought it that it says accessible. Now I feel awful and emailed them to please switch it if so. Just a heads up in case anyone is looking for tickets...be better than me!"
I just checked my email and my ticket says accessible too. There was absolutely nothing indicating this when I ordered. You shouldn’t feel bad at all and you shouldn’t have to switch your seat. Ovation Tix is at fault if this seat is intended for anything other than a general seat."
I also almost fell for this, but I happened to notice in the box that popped up when you clicked on the seat (before adding it to the cart), it said there that this was an accessible seat. That, the fact they had Companion seats right beside them, and the fact there were so many prime looking front row aisle seats available when so many other tickets were sold made me realize what was going on.
And if you keep the seat you run into the possibility of getting to the venue and there being nowhere for you to sit, if these are indeed empty wheelchair spaces. Not all theaters have extra chairs around they can place in those spots for situations like this.
EDIT TO ADD: I wholeheartedly agree that the seats should've been more clearly labeled!!!
