Seats toward the back of the Orchestra section will have yet another price drop from the front of the section (there can sometimes be two or three lower tiers of pricing at the very back). Take careful note when booking Orchestra seats, though, because you may find standard-priced Orchestra seats situated literally next to Premium Seats - for much less money and offering essentially the same sight-lines of the stage. Standard Orchestra seats are also fantastic, and will be the 2nd highest tier of pricing in the house. These seats can cost as much as double as other Orchestra seats, but are purported to offer the very best views of the stage. Within the Orchestra section, you’ll often find “Premium Seating,” which Broadway producers consider the best-of-the-best seating. “Premium” Orchestra Seats versus Standard Orchestra Seats Seat numbers on the side sections are divided into two-digit odd and even numbers, and the center section uses a 3-digit seat number starting at number 101.

The Orchestra is usually divided into 3 sections with a left and right aisle (though this can vary from theatre to theatre). Considered the best tickets in the house, these seats are on the main level of the theatre and offer the closest seating to the stage.
