"Limited View"

[u2ireland 0]

How can there be so many limited view tickets? At my venue, at the end of the stage, both upper and lower section, multiple sections are all limited view. How can such a large area in front of the stage be limited view? I understand those behind and to the sides of the stage but what is blocking the view in the front? upper and lower and many sections?

the screen 

The screen runs down the length of the floor, if your look straight on to the main stage you will not be able to see the screen/cage (which if like IE will be integral to the show) and when the screen is down you won't be able to see much of main stage.

I think it may be due to the walkway screen that drops down during the show, which is best viewed from the sides only. It may also block some of the view at the front end sections. The stage setup looks like the same as the Innocence Tour but I don't know if that is for sure. I'm curious too, can anyone who sat in the front lower sections  where seats have "limited view" share how the view was for you? I bought limited view seats yesterday.

So we should still be able to see the band, for the most part, and just not be able to see the screen?

It's really a dumb design.  A gimmick.  When they broke it out last time, I'd hoped to never see it again.

I agree. Totally stupid!!! So many, otherwise good seats, are now not. Total waste!

for the Philadelphia show I kept pulling up Limited View section 107  Was horrible took me a half hour to get something decent.  If U2 would stop doing the fancy staging there would be no limited view.  The band needs to go back to its roots and stop being so fancy. This is costing us $$$$$

I think the screen is lame and pointless. So is it just like what that had two tours ago? entire length of the stage?

If they weren't limited view, those seats would also cost $300+, so not sure how selling limited views cheaper costs you money? The majority of the arena is not limited view.
