Hollywood Pantages Theatre | Harry Potter and The Cursed Child Seating Guide

Best Value Tickets (Under $110)

• ORCHL/ORCHR Rows S-V ($71): Side orchestra with slightly angled views but excellent proximity to stage. Rows S-U are particularly good for seeing facial expressions.
• ORCHL Row NN ($105): Center-left position with only 4 seats available - great middle orchestra value.

Sweet Spot (Best Balance of Price & View: $110-$160)

• ORCHLC/ORCHRC Rows L-V ($132-137): Premium side sections with less extreme angles than standard ORCHL/R. Row M in ORCHLC offers exceptional value.
• ORCHC Row NN ($160): Dead-center orchestra at mid-depth - the gold standard for viewing this magic-heavy production.
• ORCHLC/ORCHRC Rows PP-SS ($107-118): Slightly rear orchestra but with perfect sightlines to appreciate the full stage magic.

Higher Tier Options ($160-$300)

• ORCHC Rows RR-TT ($162-176): Center orchestra just behind the sweet spot - still excellent views with minor price drop.
• ORCHRC Rows C-K ($183-231): Right-center premium seats - closer but at more extreme angles. Best for fans who want actor proximity.
• MEZZ LEFT/RIGHT Rows L-Q ($294-324): First mezzanine options when orchestra sells out - elevated view helps appreciate stagecraft.

Premium & Last-Minute Options ($300+)

• ORCHC Rows A-C ($272-540): Front-center orchestra - you'll feel immersed in the magic but may miss some overhead effects.
• MEZZ CENTER Row L ($407): The best mezzanine seats - perfect head-on view to appreciate all stage illusions.
• ORCHESTRA Row S ($565+): VIP sections with premium amenities - only consider if budget is no concern.

Viewing Recommendations

• For Best Value: ORCHL Row NN at $105 or ORCHLC Row M at $137 offer 90% of the premium experience at half the price.
• For Groups: ORCHR Row SS has 6 seats together at $107 each - rare find for good center-right seats.
• For Intimacy: ORCHRC Row C at $183 puts you just 12 rows back on the aisle.
• For Technical Appreciation: MEZZ CTR Row L ($407) provides the overall best perspective for stage magic.

Section Comparison

• ORCHC (Center): Unobstructed views but highest demand. Rows NN-QQ are the price/performance sweet spot.
• ORCHLC/ORCHRC (Center Sides): 15° angled seats with better legroom than standard side sections.
• ORCHL/ORCHR (Sides): Most affordable but may require slight head turning - avoid beyond Row W for this effects-heavy show.
• MEZZ: Only consider front mezzanine (Rows L-Q) - higher rows lose crucial detail in this dialogue-driven production.

Pro Tip

For Harry Potter and The Cursed Child, prioritize center sections (even if further back) over closer side seats. Many magical effects are designed to be viewed head-on, and the production uses the full depth of the Pantages stage.
