| I completely agree, having seen three shows at PAC. The seats are incredibly uncomfortable. The seat backs are at a right angle, the seats' center of gravity is far back of center, and the length of the seat itself is short. These factors compound together to force you to lean forward slightly with minimal leg support, and it's painful. Every row is mounted on a single beam that can descend into the floor to reconfigure the space, but the consequence of this is that movement/vibrations from patrons fidgeting in the uncomfortable seats are carried across the entire row. I saw the Fishburne show last Thursday and had purchased a front row center ticket thinking it'd be a prime, intimate location. Wrong! The seats directly abutted the stage with zero legroom, and the stage towered over my head. After claustrophobia set in, I rushed back down to the box office and exchanged my ticket for something further back. The layout of the venue is nightmarishly labyrinthian and cramped. You know something is off the moment you enter and are forced to ascend a set of steep steps. Inside, everyone is funneled into narrow, single-file corridors. There's a weird TRON aesthetic to it all. At the first show I saw there, about a dozen fire marshals with visible arm bands were standing around to "help" with crowd control, and a smaller number remain to this day. It's puzzlingly bad (and I echo the same criticisms levied against The Shed here). |
