Interesting that the orchestra was all one price, and the front mezz was all one price, but the rear mezz had 5 different price points. Although the rear mezz at that theater, at least as it is currently configured, is large-ish: 12 rows, and up to 41 seats in each row.
Was it typical at that time to have one price point for all of the orchestra and many different price points for the rear mezz? I was under the possibly mistaken impression that there were more price points in the orchestra back in those days. The orchestra at the Majestic is quite large as well: about 25 rows.
I looked up current Phantom pricing, and almost all of the orchestra is the same price point, except some side seats in the back that are about half the price of the rest of the orchestra; all of the front mezz is the same price point; and the rear mezz has 5 different price points. So not much of a change! |
