JuliannaMorte Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 :blush: My problem is , I have never been to the theatre that the Huston Ballet uses. I'm traveling up to see a preformance of Dracula in September. Now, The person who's comming with me and I both have rather bad eye sigh but I don't have a ton to spend on tickets. I was wondering what the best economical choice of seats was. I was looking at the Loge circle but then I noticed that the model does not show it. Has anyone been to a show there( I believe it's being held at the Brown Theater at Wortham Theater Center, 501 Texas Avenue at Smith Street.). I don't think I can offord orchestra center, founders boxes, ect. I'm hopeing not to spend more than 130 on two tickets. Any help would be great. Thank you in advance and I am sorry if this is the wrong place. I searched first and wasn't sure if it belonged in the Huston Ballet forums. Thank you for your time. Link to comment
pattypirouette Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Hi Julianna! Here is my recommendation. Buy the cheaper orchestra seats. I think sitting up in the Loge is fine but you are still rather far away from the stage. Also - the seats in the back of the orchestra are rather nice as well. Good sight lines and I perfer them over the loge. Here is my little hint... try to get aisle seats - as the lights dim just at show time - move your seats... towards the center or down to any open seats closer to the stage. I have watched so many people do this in the past - company dancers not dancing that night - Academy students, etc. Once the lights dim - those open seats are up for grabs. But - if you are unable to do that (or worry about doing it :blush: ) go for the orchestra sides. They are really pretty good seats. Enjoy the show - I can't wait to see it myself. PP Link to comment
JuliannaMorte Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 We ended up getting front row balcony seats, the ones on the aisle. What is even odder is I bought them semi frantic because I was worried it'd sell out rather quickly, then after finally getting the info in I checked here again and saw your reply. Thank you so much for the suggestion. If we get back for Madame Butterfly I will be sure to get floor seats. Link to comment
