Hi,

Does anyone has any experience with sitting in the far aisle seats in Orch left and right (seats 19-23 in rows A-E)? Was the obstructed view enough to make you want to sit somewhere else or was it just a minor inconvenience? Currently looking for a single ticket to a show on the Ticketmaster resale page, and it seems those seats pop up a lot. Not sure if I should go for those or maybe wait for something further back and maybe more toward the center.

Thanks!

My ticket was "Obstructed View", Row A, seat 11(?). And I don't remember having any sightline issues. There may have been a moment or two where people were cut off on the second level for a few seconds, but the view is quite great.

A friend of mine was in row C all the way to the left and she said it was fine.

Last week I was row E seat 20 on the far right and my friend was one seat over (closer to the stage, guessing that's seat 19). Every now and then you'd get a phantom voice (couldn't see Burr at the beginning of Guns & Ships, Washington during Non-stop, Eliza/Philip during Schuyler Defeated, etc.), but 99% of the time it's not an issue and it's worth it for a cheaper ticket price. Having seen it center orch row j, obviously the staging is less striking from the sides but IMO you kind of have to take what you can get. Every now and then an ensemble member would block some action but, again, it's not significant or anything. My friend in seat 19 said she caught some of the scenes up in the side balcony from her area.  I think the extreme sides on the left side might actually be better? From what I remember not a whole lot of action happens in that corner aside from the Battle of Monmouth stuff during Stay Alive, Angelica at the beginning of Take a Break, and maybe Angelica and Hamilton on the staircase during Helpless.

I sat in Row D in the seat at the end of the right orchestra section, I think it was like Seat 21 or similar. The view was still amazing, though I missed a few things on the nearest side of the set, which really wasn't much. I will say that it feels a bit different seeing a show basically from the side, and I felt just a little bit disconnected. Still, I was incredibly close to the stage and I would buy that ticket again :)
