Hancher Auditorium Seating Guide for "TINA - The Tina Turner Musical"

Best Value Tickets (Under $160)

• Balcony Upper Center Row R ($137) - Best budget option with surprisingly good sightlines to the stage despite being in the rear upper balcony. Ideal for groups (8 tickets available).
• Upper Balcony Center Rows M-N ($151) - Mid-balcony positions with better elevation than rear rows. Center sections provide optimal sound quality.
• Lower Balcony Right Rows G-H ($150-151) - Closer to stage than upper balcony with only slight side-angle views. Row G offers better vertical sightlines than Row H.

Sweet Spot Tickets (Best Balance of Price & View)

• Upper Balcony Left/Right Rows K-M ($151) - Front sections of upper balcony with minimal obstruction from the overhang. Side views still maintain full stage visibility for musicals.
• Lower Balcony Right Row E ($194) - Premium balcony location at mid-level pricing. Only 7 rows from orchestra level with excellent sightlines to the stage.

Higher Tier Options (Not the Best Deals)

• Balcony Rows F-H ($464-505) - Overpriced for balcony sections when comparable Lower Balcony seats are available for less. Only consider if you need aisle access (Row F has wider aisles).
• Orchestra Rows R-S ($515-516) - Rear orchestra seats at premium prices without the acoustic benefits of center sections.

Premium & Last-Minute Options

• ORCH CTR Rows J-K ($555-595) - True premium seats with perfect center alignment and ideal mid-orchestra elevation. Best for audiophiles - Hancher's acoustics shine here.
• Orchestra Rows K-L ($556-576) - Slightly off-center but closer to stage than ORCH CTR. Good for those prioritizing proximity over perfect alignment.

View Comparison & Recommendations

Balcony Upper vs Lower: Lower Balcony (Rows E-H) provides 15° steeper rake than Upper Balcony, meaning better sightlines over heads. Upper Balcony (Rows K-T) has slight overhang obstruction in rear rows.

Side vs Center: Hancher's design maintains good sightlines up to 45° angles. Lower Balcony Right Row E offers better value than center sections at similar prices.

For Groups: Balcony Upper Center Row R (8 tickets) is the clear budget winner. Upper Balcony Center Row N (6 tickets) offers better positioning for slightly more.

Pro Tips for Hancher Auditorium

• Avoid rows T in Upper Balcony - these are directly under the overhang with some sightline restrictions
• Orchestra seats beyond Row P may have slightly compromised views of upstage areas
• Balcony seats in Rows A-D don't appear in this listing - these are typically held for donors
• For musicals, center sections provide better sound balance than extreme sides

Final Recommendation

For most attendees, the Upper Balcony Center Rows M-N ($151) or Lower Balcony Right Row E ($194) offer the best combination of value and experience. Premium seekers should target ORCH CTR Rows J-K for the ultimate Tina Turner Musical experience at Hancher.
