Radio City Music Hall Orchestra

Massive doesn’t even begin to describe the The Radio City Music Hall orchestra section. This section is almost as big (in terms of number of seats) as all the other mezzanine sections combined and offers a uniformly good view of the stage.

The mezzanine subsection is divided into 7 subsections in the back half and 7 subjections in the first half, which are broken up by the aisle of both the left and right corners. Throughout the entire venue, seats with a lower seat number are on the right side of a section (when facing the stage). The good news is that even from the far sides, views from the orchestra section give a clear look at the performers on the Radio City Music Hall stage.

Radio City Music Hall Mezzanine

While the mezzanine is not one section, but three different ones on three different levels, the seating layout remains the same. The first mezzanine is immediately above the orchestra, with the overhang starting from row K. This section is followed by the second mezzanine on the second level and finally the third mezzanine on the top most floor.

The first mezzanine offers a similar view to the rear rows of the orchestra level. However, since this area has significantly fewer rows, there’s a lower chance of getting your view blocked by taller guests in front--a major plus for shorter patrons. Both the second and third mezzanine offer similarly good views of the stage, with the third mezzanine being the perfect location to enjoy a concert-type performance from.

Which Seats Would Offer me the Best Views?

Your choice of the best seats in Radio City Music Hall depends on which event you are going to see. If you are going to see the Christmas Spectacular, we would recommend skipping the first 13 rows (AA-LL), and opting for seats in row MM to ZZ instead. This will allow you to glimpse the entire stage without that 1st row in the movie theater feeling. The center sections of the 1st mezzanine section also provide a spectacular view.

For other performances in Radio City Music Hall we would suggest getting seats as close as possible to the stage. However, if you’re a sound junkie you may want seats close to, but also in front of the soundboard. Consider your requirements, the type of show you’re watching, your budget, and then make a decision about buying the tickets. Do note that some concerts at Radio City have a pit section (rows AAA to CCC), while some don’t.

As you would expect, the seat options that offer the best view in the performance venue are also the most expensive. If you’re looking for something a bit more budget-friendly, our next section is for you.

Which Seats/Sections Would Offer me the Best Value for Money?

While the middle orchestra and front mezzanine seats offer the best view, they’re the most expensive too. Unfortunately, buying expensive tickets upwards of $100 each is not an option for everyone, especially tourists who already have a lot of additional expenses to worry about. That’s where the middle rows and corner sections of both the orchestra and the mezzanine come into play. The side sections in the orchestra and the middle rows in the mezzanine offer a clean look at the stage and aren’t too heavy on the pockets!

Do note that if you are opting for seats in the leftmost or rightmost section in the orchestra, make it a point to book seats that are closer to the inner aisle as opposed to getting the extreme corner seats.
