Expert Recommendations for the Best Seats at Every Price Point

Discover the perfect seats for "Some Like It Hot" at Hollywood's historic Pantages Theatre. Our detailed seating analysis helps you choose between value options, premium views, and VIP experiences—with clear comparisons of sightlines and pricing across all sections.

Best Value Tickets ($76-$97)

• ORCHL VV & ORCHR QQ/NN ($76-$77): Rear orchestra but excellent straight-on views. Rows VV-QQ offer surprising clarity for the price.
• MEZZL/MEZZR Rows A-F ($96-$97): Front mezzanine seats with elevated perspective—ideal for appreciating choreography. Avoid extreme sides in these sections.

Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price, $98-$130)

• ORCHL TT/W ($98): Mid-orchestra left with minimal side angle. Row W is particularly well-centered.
• MEZZLC/MEZZRC Rows B-D ($116-$120): Center mezzanine delivers balanced sound and full-stage views. Row D avoids potential overhang issues.
• ORCHRC T ($116): Right-center orchestra with excellent sightlines to center stage action.

Higher Tier Options ($131-$170)

• ORCHLC J/L ($120-$123): Left-center orchestra closer to stage—watch for slight viewing angles.
• MEZZC Rows D-F ($136-$143): True center mezzanine seats with perfect head-on perspective.
• ORCHC PP/QQ ($136-$138): Premium orchestra center locations—notice the $2-4 price jumps between adjacent rows.

Premium & Last-Minute Seats ($170+)

• ORCHC RR/SS ($170): Front orchestra center - unbeatable proximity with full view of facial expressions.
• MEZZC Row C ($145-$170): Front-center mezzanine - ideal for patrons preferring elevated views.
• ORCHLC/RC NN ($159-$170): Very front orchestra sides - immersive but with extreme viewing angles.

View Comparison Guide

• Orchestra vs Mezzanine: Orchestra (Rows A-J) puts you close to performers; mezzanine (Rows A-G) better for appreciating full stage pictures.
• Center vs Sides: Center sections (ORCHC/MEZZC) command 15-20% premiums but guarantee unobstructed views.
• Front Orchestra Notes: Rows A-E may require looking up slightly; Rows F-NN are the "director's view" sweet spot.

Pro Tips for Pantages Theatre

• Avoid "No elevator" mezzanine sections if mobility is a concern
• ORCHLC/RC often offer better value than pure center sections
• Rows K-Q in orchestra center provide the ideal balance of proximity and perspective
• Check the seating chart carefully - some "Right/Left" seats actually face the stage directly

• 2 MEZZL B tickets at $97 (front mezzanine at mid-range price)
