Hello everyone! I was hoping to get some advice on potential ticket upgrades or exchanges as I feel I might have overpaid for my tickets :((. I am going to the Toronto show and I currently am in section 303 row 1. Because I was panicking for the tm war, I paid like 200 CAD for them ://. I recently checked the site again and saw that section 106/121 row 6 had tickets in about the same price range (like 10 bucks more), so I'm really torn if I should try for an exchange or stay where I am. This is my second concert after the TWICE tour so I'm pretty unfamiliar with how the stage is, I'm assuming the girls will be facing 101,102,103 etc. so I'm kind of worried the view from 106 or 121 would be too angled. I'm also kind of insecure about my height as I'm about 5'5 so I'm worried that I might get blocked by taller people in front of me 😭😭. but I'm not sure either because I was in nosebleeds for twice last time and everyone was sitting down. Any advice or comment is appreciated thank you so much :))!!!

Angle should be OK, FWIW. When they come out on the extended stage, they tend to face in all directions, rotating around a bit. Your main stage view will be mostly front-on I think.
Take the upgrade!! Just about anywhere in the lower bowl will be a lot better and there’s not really bad angles

Did you buy directly from Ticketmaster or from a third party (example: stubhub, seatgeek, or anybody else besides TM)?
If you bought from third-party, then you can’t directly exchange tickets. ([TM exchange rules here](https://help.ticketmaster.com/hc/en-us/articles/9640332138001-Can-I-exchange-or-upgrade-my-tickets)). You would have to try to sell the section 303 to somebody else and then rebuy 106/121 from TM.
Since there are quite a few tickets available for that show, it is unlikely that you will sell for equal or more than you bought them for, if what you say is true about your third level tickets costing close to first level tickets. So you can only really go this route if you are willing to lose money on your current tickets and then buy
The view from 106/121 definitely would be better since you would be closer so you have a chance at seeing them with your own eyes. From 303, you’ll mostly be watching the screens. Tip: if you sit in 303, get/borrow some binoculars to get a closer magnified view.
there’s a lot of different factors that contribute this decision so first figure out what’s most important to you. i’m not sure where you sat for twice but i tend to go for seats like in section 109/118 because the straight on views from 102/103 are actually really far away! depending on where you sit, the angle from being on the side isnt too bad. that being said, it’s important, since you’re short, to pick a good seat if you’re going to sit in a closer section like 109/118. i would recommend trying to get a seat as close to the stage as possible, the row doesn’t particularly matter if you’re trying to avoid standing behind someone tall. lastly, i think ticketmaster only lets you exchange tickets that are more expensive than the ones you have, so if you don’t want to pay more than you did, you might just want to keep the seat you have. hope this helps!!
