I just saw WWS with mezzanine standing room and I was HORRIFIED that they are even selling those tickets at all let alone for $36.50. First of all, the seats in front of you are so high that you can only see about a quarter of the stage in between all of the people's heads. The ability to see the stage is pretty much non-existent and for a dance show, that's pretty bad. Second of all, these tickets are not sold as being partial view which they DEFINITELY are. It's one thing if you're told at the box office you won't be able to see anything. It's another when you get to your spot and find out that you're screwed. Everyone who had standing room in the mezz tonight was either leaning into the aisles trying to see or piling into the corner of the mezz where there is a PERFECT view of the full stage.
I've done standing room at plenty of theaters and this was absolutely ridiculous. Huge rip-off happening at the Palace theater!!!!! If I didn't have to leave in a hurry after the show, I would've definitely complained to the house manager.
