I bought a terrible seat to see Yuja Wang

20 hours ago 3

Basically the title. I accidentally bought an obstructed seat for my first visit to Symphony Hall in Chicago. Unsurprisingly, it's sold out so I can't change my seats. In all seriousness, how can I make the best of this situation? The pillar blocks the view of the piano, which is a huge drag. The pitiful view: https://imgur.com/a/1sQZt98

Edit: Thanks everyone for advice and sympathies! Given the hilariously awful seat, I had to share CSO's spin on the view when I asked to change.

Me: Hello! I have tickets to see Yuja Wang and the Mahler Symphony Orchestra on Wednesday, and I noticed that one of my seats has a really obstructed view, and it looks like it hides the view of the piano. Would it be possible to change seats if there are two together somewhere else?

CSO: Unfortunately we are unable to make any seating changes because this is event is at capacity, and actually has been for several months. I'm so sorry we can't help with this request! None of the obstructions are complete obstructions, so I think your seat in the upper balcony will still offer a wonderful experience. Let us know if you have any other questions.
