The Main Levels Of An Auditorium Seating

By Jerri Perry


Your enjoyment, ticket price and exposure on a theater would depend on the type of seats you have chosen. The pattern of seats on certain theaters would be dependent on the shape and the size of such arenas. Small arenas might have poor seating arrangement while larger arenas would have a better seat outline. It however is important to know that irrespective of the shape and size of certain theaters, each arena would have certain auditorium seating charts which would require you to choose the sort of seats to go for.

The initial seating division in an auditorium room is the orchestra which features the proscenium arch. Here, the pattern of seats depends on the visual axis and proximity. The orchestra is also divided into sections, prime orchestra being the seats on forefront, following the side orchestra chairs and finally rear chairs. The main seats used in orchestra are upholstered, fixed and fold-up.

After the orchestra are the box seats. Box chairs are mainly separated using walls or curtains. The chairs on this level are mainly placed on an elevated platform to ensure the people within such areas can see the stage completely. Box seats are cheaper when compared to the ones in the orchestra.

At the back and upper section of box seats come the mezzanine seats. Seats at this section are also separated into various divisions, front center section being at the forefront to give the viewers a better coverage to the stage area. Some seats here are placed in the right and left sides of the walls. Buying a ticket for these chairs is cheaper but you would not be able to see the arena completely.

Gallery seats are placed at the top and last division within a theater. The audience in the gallery seats is not exposed to complete view of the stage though their tickets are offered at lower prices. When buying the gallery chairs, it is always essential to remember that the audience here is barely exposed to a partial view of the stage.

A thrust stage would need a different type of seat arrangement that is mostly three-on the sides approach. To help people see properly the seats here would be also raked together. The major seats used in thrust stages are the upholstered, retractable and the fixed.

Circular arenas do not have the same seat arrangement as other arenas. This is because most of chairs here would be placed on a circular style while the theater would be at a place higher than the chairs to ensure spectators would see the stage better. Chairs used in a circular arena would rely on the designer and the stage owner.

It would be always hard to tell of certain auditorium seats until you sit on them to watch certain plays. You should for this reason know what you want on an auditorium seating chart before you decide to buy certain stage tickets. It is required you conduct a thorough research concerning the type of arena you are planning to buy tickets from to ensure you can choose the best seats.
