You can get the obstructed view tickets online. When you click through after choosing a date, you get the option to choose your price point -- $95 for full price and $20 for obstructed. I actually almost bought one for this weekend, but like others in this thread, I couldn't imagine what could be the cause for obstruction in the Newman, so I called the box office. The person I spoke to said she hadn't sat in the seats herself, but had been told that they aren't partial view, they're right up against the sound booth and "very obstructed." So I decided to wait and take my chances with rush.
I arrived at about 6:30 on Saturday evening, and was told there were no rush tickets, and they had all gone right at 6, but I could get on a full-price waiting list. I was just visiting for a few days and it was now or never, so I decided I'd wait it out and see. The box office was about to take my name (I'd have been first on the list) when a single ticket happened to materialize, and they very kindly sold it to me for rush price. It was in the second row from the back, but the ushers moved a decently sized group of people down into the first 10 or so rows to fill in holes down there.
