That is an intentionally inflammatory title. But.
My husband is legally blind and needs to sit in the first few rows or it might as well be an audio recording. In the past we've always bought front row seats way ahead of time and there's been no issue. It used to be that front row seats were "regular" price which we're more than willing to pay. This has changed in the last few years and many shows now price the front row at "premium."
We're booking a trip to New York in the future and traditionally Ticketmaster and Telecharge have been really wonderful about holding "low-vision" seats for the visually imparied. These seats are usually normally priced and within the first few rows, often just on the aisle on the left or right side.
Well. SeatGeek does not offer these. At least not at Sunset and not at Cabaret. I'm being told there's no "regular priced" low-vision seats. Odd we are accommodated elsewhere but no help for the blind at SeatGeek.
These aren't discounted seats, they're still 200-250$. We just can't afford 500$ and there's no point to see the show if we're further back. We won't go. It happens. Not the end of the world. I already hated SeatGeek to begin with.
