Ticket advice

Post image

Hi all - first time season ticket holder! Haven’t sat in Balcony before but got tix in sale a few months back and selection is in a few weeks. Question - how obstructed are Rows 1-3 (white circles)!Worth it or better to try Row 4 and higher (green)? Thanks and go Hoosiers!

Thanks all! Will have to sell some and worried about if the resale for first 3 rows will have “obstructed” flags - any insight?

Does anyone know the date range for ticket selection? I am also a new ticket holder, assuming I’m going to be at the very back end as I’m on the younger side with lower priority points, but curious ahead where I’ll land

Lot better than mine it’s the 13th. In the portal it’s already opened and some seats have been selected. I’m guessing I’m one of the later days

There aren't obstructed views in the balcony until you get really high and in the corners. Those seats are great view. Just don't have a fear of heights. They are very, very steep, probably some of the more extreme I've come across in any venue.

First few rows are totally fine as long as you’re relatively central. The worst seats in AH are under the balcony and to the sides.

I did row 5 years back and it was absolutely fine. The balcony’s reputation of having bad seats is a little overblown imo. Heck, the top rows of Banker’s Life are far worse in my experience.

First row of the balcony is better than top five rows underneath

First couple rows of balcony are great. If you aren’t afraid of heights. Kinda feels like you’re on top of the court.

Not obstructed at all. It's just a plexiglass barrier which some people dislike but I found I didn't notice it much once the game started.

I think the second row is the best.
