sit (up) in the nosebleed section

To sit in the seating area very high up in a stadium or theater, as for a sporting event, musical performance, play, etc., which typically costs less money but has a restricted view. "Nosebleed" refers jocularly to one effect of extremely high altitudes on the body, nasal hemorrhaging. I wish you wouldn't be so stingy when you buy tickets to football games. I'm sick of sitting up in the nosebleed section to watch them! I waited too long to get tickets to the concert, so I had to sit in the nosebleed section way in the back.
