Carnegie Hall Partial View Seats Question

I'm looking at the seating map for the balcony and there are some seats that are in the center section that are marked partial view and are half the price of the seats around them. It's just a few seats sprinkled around and they're all singles on the aisle. Has anyone ever sat in one of these seats and know what is it that makes them partial view? Is there a pole?

Haven't done those exact seats you're referring to, but I've been in other Partial View seats at Carnegie and they are very appropriately labeled. If you just want to be able to hear, you're fine, but I've had some box seat partial views (still set far back from the stage) and could see next to nothing.

Don't buy them thinking they will be like partial view seats in some theaters!

From the balcony, it is most likely a pole is in your way. I sit in the balcony sometimes, and the sound is fine.
