Seating arrangements can play a significant role in whether a person enjoys a musical or play. Poor seats may have limited lines of sight or be far from the stage. The best seats will allow a patron to see the entire show clearly.
Begin looking for tickets early. Good seats sell quickly. Large groups will have the most difficulty purchasing excellent seats together the closer it is to show time.
Sign up for any loyalty programs. Box offices may offer loyal patrons the first chance to buy tickets. Some offices provide the same opportunity to donors.
Consider a matinee or midweek show. Friday and Saturday night shows are often the most popular. Choosing to see a show at a less-popular time can increase the chances of receiving tickets to the best seats.
If all else fails, check with a ticket reseller. Their prices and selection can vary wildly, but a reseller will often have tickets after the box office has sold out.
The number of best seats will vary by location. Consulting a seating guide before making a ticket purchase can be helpful. Although it may require some patience, patrons can purchase tickets for the best seats to any show.
