The one question that every ticket-buyer should ask themselves is "Are my seats any good?" After all, you are paying big bucks to attend your performance. Most people believe that the closer your seats are to the stage, the better the seat. However, that is not always a correct assumption. In fact, the first few rows in a theatre are too close to the stage, requiring the theatergoer to cran their neck to catch all the action. It is well known within the industry that the very best seats are located in the middle Orchestra between the 10th and 20th Rows. In fact, most VIP and producers have their house seats located in that section. Thus, the thatergoer should search out seats in that vicinity.

Another well-known secret is that most Mezzanines overhang the Orchestra at approximately Row 12. Further, Mezzanine seats are designed similar to stadium seating, permitting an unobstructed view over the person sitting directly in front of you. Thus, a Mezzanine seat offers a triple benefit: an unobstructed view, a seat closer to the stage, and a cheaper ticket price.

The best way to determine the exact location of your seat is by referring to the theatre seating plan.
