Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : Here's the situation: I have very expensive basketball season tickets. There is a gentleman in front of me that is constantly  blocking my view of the games. Now, I don't think I'm some uptight guy that expects the people in front of me to remain seated the entire game like it's a classical music concert or play, but I feel like this is excessive. Once he stands up, he stays up for the next play or two, thus blocking my view of the court. When I look around no one else is standing when he is. At one point he turned around and very matter-of-factly told me, "Sorry but I like to stand a lot". So it's not like he doesn't know he's being rude. But there's more...

He also vapes during the games. I don't love the whole second-hand vaping thing but it probably wouldn't bother me as much if he wasn't constantly blocking my view of the games. Vaping is explicitly banned in the arena, and the guy is just making my very expensive purchase miserable, so at the beginning of the last game I politely asked him to stop vaping. He didn't take it well. He called me some names and five minutes later went back to it, so my girlfriend mentioned it to the usher. The usher eventually gave the guy a red card, stating that vaping was not allowed. Obviously, he knew that we had reported it and he threw the card at me and told us he was going to stand all the time and make the rest of the season miserable for us. I also overheard him talking to his seatmate and calling me some homophobic slurs (I am a man, at the game with my girlfriend...) and saying that I was making his life miserable at the games.

I have requested a seat change from the team, but I am not sure if that is possible. I understand that both parties involved here paid a lot of money for these tickets and should be able to enjoy the experience, but at this point the remaining 30+ games are going to be uncomfortable for all of us. Am I the asshole here?
