The Boys in the Band Seating

[broadwaynerdnewbie]

Hi, I’m looking to purchase tickets and I was wondering if anyone as ever sat in orschesta center row AA at the Booth Theater. I know it’s probs partial view (I like the option because the ticket is cheap) and I was just wondering what my view would be like. Do you think I’d miss a lot of the action?

[Capeguy]

I just got a row AA ticket for May 7th -- will let you know. I'm a little concerned myself but there wasn't much of a choice and that's the only night I can go.

[Capeguy]

I'm curious. Where did you find a cheap ticket for AA? I paid full price on Telecharge. Wasn't aware of any discounts.

Thank you, I look forward to hearing back from you about the view!

I'd also like to know about this discount  ¯\_(?)_/¯

[Danielle49]

For those looking, the only code I've seen is BITBTHM for $99-$119 mezzanine (REG. $109-$159) which is still pretty pricey. I don't know how well the show is selling though so it's possible codes might show up soon.

I was wondering about the AA Center seating as well. I will be going in July and saw that was available and was wondering about the view/possible obstruction. I usually try the "view from my seat" site, but there doesn't seem to be any information from that row.

I'm not sure it was a discount as much as the first two rows were regular price before the premium price kicked in?

Just bit the bullet today and bought tickets for likely more in demand productions (My Fair Lady, Skintight [with Idina], and The Boys in the Band) for my 7-night June trip. Have only seen Hand To God at Booth Theater before. Sat in H118 which I believe was aisle seat Center Orchestra.

For TBITB, nabbed Right Orchestra B14 which I believe is aisle seat (bad knees, long legs here). Anyone familar with view from there?

I actually don't think the Booth has any far side aisles, so I think that might be against the wall.  Someone can correct me if I'm mistaken.

Oh no! This concerns me now for both view and legroom! And tickets weren’t the most expensive, but sure weren’t cheap. Please at least tell me that non-aisle Orchestra seats have decent legroom. Otherwise, it looks like I’m calling Telecharge to see about getting a different seat.

Miles seat B14 is next to the wall and not an aisle seat but the good news is that the seat in front of you A 14 has been removed which will give you leg room. ***Btw,the white shirt dude in the picture is sitting in B14.)

Here's a view from D12 at the Booth ~

 

[EthelMae]

Miles: I could be wrong but I checked a seating chart for the Booth and while Orch B14 does look to be the last seat over right in that aisle, I guess it could technically be called an aisle seat- but the aisle is way over right- room for a right leg extension but it’s not an aisle seat as most of us think of that!

[Miles2Go2]

View looks fine, I think. And I don’t really care if there is an aisle. I’m more concerned about being able to extend my legs if my knees start occasionally aching without offending my seatmate. So looks like I’m good there. Thanks for everyone’s input! I think I can safely keep my seat the way it is.

I got tickets for the last row of the orchestra and have heard these are restricted but they are not listed as this. Can anyone confirm or deny this because I paid quite a bit for these and will be rather upset if I can't see some of the show. 

[TJJ1296]

I sat last row orchestra house left a few weeks ago and can say they are slightly obstructed. You can see most of the second level of the set but to see heads of the actors you do have to duck down to get the full view depending on how tall you are. Not a lot happens up there but there is a lovely scene with Matt Bomer in his underwear that I practically had to squat down in the row to see. It's not terrible, but I also didn't pay full price for my ticket so I couldn't complain. 

[Miles2Go2]

I’m sitting far RIGHT ORCHESTRA Row B, Seat 14. I know I’m close, but will I have an obstructed view of anything, including the shower scene? I’m purely asking from an artistic stance because I want to be able to fully appreciate everything, including the enormiity of Mr. Bomer’s performance.

But seriously, will my far side Orchestra seat limit my view of either level of the stage?

I got row O in the orchestra. Is that where you were?

Same here - and paid full price.  I’m curious as well, though i don’t really have other options short of paying $399 for premiums (not then that much further up) or buying 2 of the 250 tickets listed on StubHub for insane prices.  

EDIT to ask for opinions between Row O center, third and fourth seats off the house right aisle versus Row J a couple seats closer to center.  Is it worth $80 more per seat for lack of obstruction and because we are both quite short (and I don’t have the best vision)?  If you think it will make a real difference I’ll spring for it I guess.  Anything closer is $399 but there are two seats in J left for $250.  It’s not an insignificant amount of money to me, though, so I’d really appreciate your thoughts.

How is the view from the mid/rear mezz? I know it’s small but still able to see faces? Thanks.

I sat in mezz row G house right and was fine with the view. Nothing's cut off on the upper level of the set and was still able to see facial expressions! I'd try to be as centered as possible though. They use every corner of the set.

[Miles2Go2]

I am sitting far right Orchestra Row B against the wall. What, if anything, will I miss from the right side of the stage?

I was last row mezz and the view was perfectly fine. The legroom, on the other hand, was horrible.

I was in row P
