Q. My girlfriend and I have booked tickets to see Coldplay and we can't wait! However, the tickets we have are 'obstructed view', I know it is a 360 degree stage but I was wondering, in your previous experience, how obstructed is the view exactly as we've wanted to see the band live for so long and hope we don't have bad seats! Please help

The Oracle replies:

I'm afraid I can't comment without knowing whereabouts you are but please don't get back in touch with that info as I have nothing to do with seating at all so won't be able to help.
Perhaps try the venue to see if they have a seating plan for the show up.
All I can tell you is that you may have a side of stage view which I always find intriguing to watch everything going on. I'm not sure there's such a thing as bad seats though.
Oh, and it's not a 360 degree stage so you definitely won't be sat behind the band.
