| Anyone seen Sweeney from the orchestra, from about rows E-J (before the overhang of the mezzanine), on the absolute far right or left aisle seats? Are you so far right or left that you miss a lot of the action? And, what's the sound like there? | |

| Thank you so much, everyone -- anyone bought LAST MINUTE tickets? | |

| Appreciate the response on seating for Sweeney. Anyone had experience buying last minute tickets for Sweeney? I'm wondering if anyone's seen those premium priced seats on TicketMaster (whether resale or not) come down in price as curtain gets closer and they remain unsold -- whether through dynamic programming or manual adjustments by the producers or the resellers. When one of those premium seats remains unsold 30 minutes before curtain, does the price drop or would they rather make no sale than a more reasonably priced sale? I'm asking because I'll be staying very close to the theatre and could easily buy a last minute ticket an make it to the theatre before curtain during a couple of windows. I know there's no guarantee and demand and fluctuations in dynamic pricing and availability will all vary. I'm just curious to see if anyone here's had firsthand experience of this nature, in particular with this production. |

| I’d pick far left facing stage. | |

| The staircase twirls on the right side of stage and the trap door empties there. So if you are against the wall on right side, my guess is you would miss all of that. I was in B2 and the stage is very high and I could not see the bodies on the floor. Again, my right and left are facing the stage. I’m never sure what stage right actually means. |

| You are describing House left and right. Stage left are right are the reverse, as in a person’s left and right when they are on stage, facing the audience. |

| I saw it from far side orch row E I think. You'll miss the business with the trunk on the second level. Sound was fine. Personally, I'd recommend seeing this production from the mezz. | |

| The center mezzanine seats are more expensive than the orchestra and you are not that close to the stage. Side mezzanine gives you a skewed view and you can’t see the actors’ faces all that well. I am going to try for row G left orchestra. | |

| I can’t answer your exact question, but I was in F10 and thought the sight lines were good. | |

| Things like Todd's first entrance and Todd & Lovett's final exit are best viewed towards the middle. | |

| Clearly the post is for cheaper seats | |

| Against the wall and moving center is not a possibility for cheaper seats. | |
