A downside for me was that our seats (Balcony of the Royal Festival Hall) precluded us from seeing everything clearly as we were seated quite far away from the action.

There weren’t many seats available so we had to get some quite near the back 5th floor entrance at southbank. We would have liked to be closer as it did feel far.

Front stalls, end of row suited best as not to far to walk to enter and exit theatre.

Being far away means that there becomes less point in seeing the live show. We were near the back of the circle and although we could see and hear everything, the atmosphere did not reach that far.

My granddaughter is 3 and not particularly tall so she ended up sitting on my lap to see the stage.

I would say that all the seats were good. However, if I was to book again I would like to book a seat closer to the front.

The only down side was that during the space segment three balls were pushed into the audience and the entire section on the left of the stage did not have a ball. To a young child this becomes a a sad issue. Think of pushing one ball to each section of the audience to include everyone in the experience.

Difficult for my grandson to see the stage . We needed booster seats . Expensive . My grandson liked the stickers .

We had balcony seats B15-17 the view was great but there was a wall between seats 16 & 17 which was not on the website when booking. The family in front of us also had the same seats and were disappointed too. One parent had to sit on one side of the partition and the rest of the family on the other side.

Great being in the front stalls for when the planets bounce around on the audience. As ever being central is better but we had a great view over on the side in row L.

I booked a box for four people. Great view as all seats were in a straight line so that there was a clear view of the performance for each person.

We sat in the seats in the upper tier just above the balcony. Very poor view with the first two rows in front of us that were slightly lower all you can see is there heads. Asked to be moved in the interval so we could at least see the 2nd half of the show

I'd try to avoid seats at the very front, as found it gave me a crick in the neck.

Quite far back , I thought we was stalls but it all runs back and each seat is in front rather than slightly off side and so seeing front of stage was particularly hard.

In a group of 6, 2 had seriously large people in front of them. So had to continuously move our heads from one side to the other, always a downfall at theatres. However, with a number of the acts when at high level which were not effected. Kids got booster seats which helps them

Our seats had restricted views,purely because of safety barrier.,and being short. Cost very. fair price,close to stage. Seats were angled to make comfortable viewing, Row W, front row.

Spent quite a while looking at seating options for the dates that were still available...turned out we possibly had the best seats in the house !!! Front and centre balcony seats perfect viewing !!!

The seats that my wife and I occupied were Front Stalls numbers 22 and 23 in row G. We found them very comfortable and with plenty of “leg room”. The general layout of the seating ensured that our view of the stage was not obstructed.

We had chosen a lower price ticket so we’re quite high up, but as it’s a modern theatre, all seats had a clear view.

We had seats in the middle of the auditorium in Upper stalls which was perfect from the location point of view, however the rows of seats arent that steep so the views get restricted if you have even an average height person in front of you
