And yeah, I've been to several shows at the Honda Center. Coldplay was the only one that had floor seats.

In a lot of cases, it is the venue decision and/or local regulation that are the primary factors. Do bands and their promoters have a role in the process? Yes, but to claim there are no other factors at play is simply incorrect.

Probably yeah. Most of their venues have ungraded floors, so unless you're fairly tall, it is hard to get a good sightline from the middle of the floor.
