Altria Theater - Richmond Seating Guide for "Some Like It Hot"

Best Value Tickets (Under $80)

• BALC_F Rows M-L ($33-$35): Front balcony with surprisingly good sightlines despite higher elevation. The $33 price is exceptional value.
• Balcony E Row Q ($66): Center-balcony position with minimal obstruction. 6+ tickets available makes this ideal for groups.

Sweet Spot Tickets ($77-$122)

These mid-range options offer the best balance of price and viewing experience:

• BALC_B/C/H Rows F-J ($77-$83): Front sections of side balconies with angled stage views. Row J is particularly good with only 4 seats separating you from the front balcony edge.
• ORCH_D/ORCH_A Rows BB-GG ($112-$122): Orchestra side sections with closer proximity. Note Row BB has some overhang from Grand Tier above.
• BALCONY B/I Rows Q ($103-$120): Rear center balcony - steep angle but full stage visibility. Q. rows are last row with back wall support.

Higher Tier Options ($127-$173)

• Grand Tier D Rows N-K ($127-$141): The "Goldilocks zone" - elevated but not too high, with excellent sightlines over orchestra.
• ORCHESTRA Rows AA-GG ($135-$173): True orchestra seating. Rows AA-BB are premium but check for Grand Tier overhang.
• GT_C/GT_F Rows E-N ($143-$153): Front Grand Tier sections. Row letters below H put you at ideal vertical angle.

Premium & Last-Minute Options ($200+)

• ORCH CENTER Row DD ($536): Dead-center orchestra - the "director's view" with perfect acoustics.
• ORCH C Rows Z-R ($546-$581): Front orchestra sections. Row Z is first row behind pit if available.
• BALCONY Rows F-J ($465-$505): Front balcony boxes - intimate feel but very steep sightlines.

Viewing Recommendations

• Budget-Conscious: BALC_F Row M ($33) - unbeatable price for decent balcony view
• Best Value: BALC_B Row G ($77) - front balcony center-left section
• Premium Experience: GT_D Row K ($152) - Grand Tier center with perfect elevation
• Group Seating: Balcony E Row Q (6+ tickets at $66 each)
• Last-Minute Splurge: ORCH C Row L ($783) - front row center orchestra (when available)

Seating Notes

• Balcony Rows A-F: Very steep angle - you'll feel like you're looking straight down
• Orchestra Rows AA-EE: Watch for Grand Tier overhang affecting sightlines
• Side Sections: BALC_H/I have slight viewing obstructions from boxes
• Grand Tier Rows A-D: Equivalent to mezzanine seating in other venues

Price Alert

The $33 BALC_F tickets are unusually low for this venue - likely a pricing error that will correct soon. These represent the absolute best value if available.
