I'm going to a concert next month, section 227b. Ticketmaster says there's a obstacle blocking my view. I still bought the tickets because that was all there was left. But I've sat in that area for Red wings games, and have never seen an obstacle.

Might be the scoreboard at center ice.

It's probably the way the arena will be set up for the concert - speaker banks, lighting banks, stage rigging, backdrop, etc.

edit: oh, yeah, forgot about the scoreboard

You will be side if not back stage. About a 45 degree angle from side stage.

If you look at a seating chart of the Joe picture the front of the stage in the middle of sections 105 and 124 and the stage curtain near the back of the net.

227b is behind the stage. You'll be looking at the back of the speakers and electronics.

The scoreboard is never an issue. It's on pulleys. They raise it up closer to the rafters for concerts.

According to TicketMaster, the seating chart for the Joe has section 227 in the far, upper deck corner from the stage.

What has 7 arms and sucks?


--Def Leppard



What concert is it? If you click on Dannyv's link, it shows different set ups based on the event. The Foo Fighters' set up is different from Def Leppard's. The Foo Fighters' set up shows what looks like a second stage at the end of a long runway, so maybe there are lights hanging in the way or something. I think I'm in that same section for the foo fighters but I didn't even bother to try to find out what was obstructing the view.

Spitty, that is one of my favorite music jokes ever, but it falls on deaf ears when I spring it on people my age (I'm 18).

It's Foo fighters. I don't mind being behind the stage as long as I can see the band, and not have it completely blocked. If it's a big problem I'll go stand in a different area.

I'm excited about it though. The last concert I went to was Metallica in 2004 in Columbus. I like the Foo fighters new album a lot. I hope there's no smoking, because it's so hard to breath in a thick cloud of smoke, yuck.
