Here is the answer to your question even if you just deleted it. Hot Tix are $20 to $25.00 seats the Ahmanson sell for shows. You can only buy them a few weeks before the show and they are usually labeled partial view. However they vary from production to production. Depending on a how a show is selling and how generous a producer wants to be.
The hot tix are only $25. And I always buy the ticket on the day I go. They sit me wherever they choose. It's always the balcony. Although I was lucky to sit in the orchestra twice. I got to sit in the second row for Cinderella partial view.. but I saw everything.
Every Hot Tix sold at either the Taper or the Ahmanson will say it is Partial View. Even if it dead center. Day of show, Hot Tix are supposed to balcony.
