They released a huge block in sec 114 and 131 as obstructed view today.
$118.00.

WOW, thats BS. Those have always been touted as a great section. Now its obstructed view? They must have moved the stage forward to lesson seats on the floor.
Yup, sec 114 row 18 seat 10 is $420.00 and the next seat over seat 11 is $118.00.

Interesting. Some of you may remember the clusterf*ck that related to my seats in Columbus. Exactly perpendicular to front of stage and very obstructed. Fully refunded after an epic duel with TicketBastards. So...once that dust settled, I talked to the Complaints Investigation Manager about moving my seat from Sec 131 in Buffalo, anticipating the same issue. There was nothing better, even though I had bought the ticket in good faith. Ended up moving to 132 and wonder what I'm in for. If they are now selling S 131 as obstructed and, especially if folks are travelling and spending even more money for those seats, there had better be a very pro-active effort to move folks or give hefty refunds. I wonder if my seat in S 132 should have sold at top price. If the stage and musicians can't be seen, it's partially obstructed. And you can't relocate a section or two of people right at show time. Screw it - I'm calling TM now.

No, looking for an unobstructed seat, dammit! When I saw the Buffalo location in comparison to Columbus, I decided to be pro-active and try to move before the rush, since I was roundly criticized for not doing that during the damn concert in Columbus. But since all the floors were unavailable, the best we could do was move down one section, hoping that the wider angle would mean less obstruction. I try to avoid floor seats, going for the lower side seats, because I'm kinda short and there is always a Big Fat Head in front of me on the floor. That said - Nashville and Pittsburgh floors were pretty good, about 16 rows back. Nothing is showing on the TM map for floors at the moment. Am starting to realize the considerable difference between arena and stadium seating. These seats would have been brilliant in arenas, where I am used to seeing them. Starting to develop a strong loathing for stadium shows! It would be somewhat alleviated if I could get FOS floors. I may have to turn into a pickpocket overnight. Caution to anyone hanging out near me with a good floor seat tomorrow.
*** clarifying - bought Columbus and Buffalo seats at roughly the same time, in similar locations, based on best available maps, so couldn't anticipate what would happen when they moved the stage forward. After Columbus, the writing was on the wall for Buffalo, so liaised with TM to see what could be done. All that could be done was to shove down a section in hopes of a better angle. Nothing available in the floors then, or at the moment, TM guy isn't answering his phone now, so will likely try Guest Services when I get there tomorrow. As my aunt used to say... Ye Gods and little fishes! What a mess.

SomeTorontoGirl - we're in 131-37 next to 132. I saw the ticket drop as well, hard to imagine TM logic where 10 rows below me are obstructed when on the same sightline and our seats originally sold not as such. Though I understand there has to be a line somewhere. Please keep us posted here, I have a party of 8 in that area and may need to be proactive as well. I'm fairly certain the screens and Charlie may not be visible, though front of stage and the platform obviously will. I enjoy raking TM over the coals whenever possible. Also, stop by and

News channel 7 is broadcasting from the stadium they just said some campers were lined up since yesterday. Couple of regulars from here made the cut.
They said the same items can be brought into the stadium as a football game.

I'm tempted just to buy you a seat on the floor in the first few rows. But you'd have to periscope the show for us.
