Many of the top Broadway shows offer significant discounts on partial view seats. These are seats that will miss some of the action due to the stage scenery or physical theatre restrictions like support columns or mezzanine overhangs. Some Broadway shows offer these discount tickets at the very front and sides of the orchestra, where audio is sometimes inferior.
While most ticket buyers are initially resistant to the idea of getting partial view tickets, in cases where you stand to get a good discount, buying them is often a smart move. The truth is, many of the partial view seats at Broadway shows are still very good, and you miss a relatively small amount of the action. Most Broadway shows are very up front about telling you exactly what you will miss or what the problems and/or obstructions are with regard to the partial view tickets.
What you should be careful of, though, is that some enterprising Broadway producers will actually sell partial view tickets at the full ticket price - The words "PARTIAL VIEW" are printed on the ticket. This is usually only the case with sold-out hit Broadway shows where they feel they can get away with it on account of the ticket demand. Just be sure that if you are purchasing partial view tickets that they are being sold to you at a discount, otherwise you're being ripped off. Also beware of buying Broadway show tickets on eBay, where it is common for partial view tickets to be sold as regular tickets, with a fleeting reference that these tickets may miss part of the action - a clear indicator that the Broadway tickets are partial view.
