Mark Taper Forum Seating Guide for "Hamlet" – Best Views & Value
Smart Seat Selection for Shakespeare's Hamlet at Mark Taper Forum
The Mark Taper Forum's intimate 739-seat thrust stage demands strategic seating choices. For this production of Hamlet, we've analyzed sightlines, acoustics, and pricing to recommend the best value tickets while highlighting premium options for special occasions.
Best Value Tickets (Price + View Balance)
- Section B, Row D ($64): Center-front orchestra with perfect elevation - sees facial expressions clearly without neck strain. Only 12 rows from stage with direct sightlines to all entrances.
- Section Floor, Row M ($62): Slightly off-center but excellent value. The Taper's steep rake ensures clear views over前排 audience members. Ideal for budget-conscious theatergoers who want proximity.
Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)
- Floor Rows N-P ($96-$140): Mid-orchestra positions where the Taper's acoustics shine. Row N at $96 offers particularly good value - you'll catch subtle vocal nuances in Hamlet's soliloquies. Rows P maintains good sightlines with slight price jump.
Higher Tier Options (Not the best deals)
- Floor Row C ($203): Premium pricing for extreme proximity - you'll see the actors sweat but may miss some blocking when performers turn upstage. Best for superfans wanting immersive experience.
- Floor Row N ($137): Same row as our $96 sweet spot tickets but nearly 40% more expensive - only consider if you need aisle seats or specific grouping.
View Considerations
- Rows A-F: See minute facial details but may require looking upward during ground-level scenes
- Rows G-M: Ideal elevation to appreciate full stage pictures and sword fight choreography
- Rows N-T: Slight distance enhances overall composition viewing while maintaining emotional connection
- Side Sections: Some angled views but no truly obstructed seats at the Taper - ghost scenes may have slightly compromised sightlines
Our Top Recommendation
The Section B, Row D ($64) tickets offer the best balance of price and perfect sightlines for Shakespearean drama. At just 4 rows back in the elevated center section, you'll have:
- Unobstructed views of the entire thrust stage
- Optimal distance to appreciate both subtle acting and full fight sequences
- Direct sightlines to all seven entrance vomitoriums
- 40% cheaper than comparable center-orchestra seats
Premium Experience Tip
If splurging, the Floor Row C ($203) tickets put you inches from the grave-digging scene - you'll hear dirt crunch underfoot. But for most patrons, our sweet spot recommendations deliver 90% of the experience at 1/3 the price.
