I bought some tickets for Hamilton, but was nervous because one whole row was available while all the rows around it were sold out. Making sure I didn’t get scammed or an obstructed view?

Probably just how things were purchased or sorted, or maybe a recent return? The cheap seats are child-size, by the way.

So tiny!

I wasn’t aware of that!

IDK the cheap seats aren't that bad, you can still see everything pretty good.

You can see fine, but they're tiny and uncomfortable unless you're shorter than 5 feet tall.

I'm 6'0 and I sit fine in them...

Maybe only some balcony seats are tiny, I'm not sure, but I'm 5'9 and there was no space between my legs and the cheapest seats. Your mileage may vary I guess?

Where are your seats? Some seats are more uncomfortable that others but I’ve never had an obstructed view

Balcony, section I. Not sure if that means anything to you?

I've never had an obstructed seat in the Altria. Certainly some seats that will strain your neck slightly as you have your head turned for several hours.

Based on your other comment, Balcony - Section I... Section B is the equivalent on the other side of the theater. There are sme pictures on https://aviewfrommyseat.com/

And one from section J, which is further to the left of section I

Seem like fine seats to me!

Thanks so much for the insight! Was a little uncertain since that was the only row that hadn't sold any seats. I did read that my row was an exit row, so it makes more sense now.

Took the fam to go see Hamilton a couple years back, months after me and my partner went and saw Book of Mormon and had a great time. The BoM seats were in the orchestra section and were fine, the Hamilton tickets were in the balcony and everyone up there who was over 6' tall basically had to stand the whole time because there's not enough room to get your legs in.

Oh no! Luckily my friend and I are both below 5'8, so hopefully we won't have that issue.
