Broadway newbie

Taking the family to see our first show on Broadway, and could use advice on ticket selection.

The show is School of Rock, and the first ticket search I did turned up 4 delicious tickets row K, dead center for $149 each (plus handling fee etc). Then realized telecharge had discounted tix and found 4 row L, still center but three seats from aisle. Tix are only $109 each. I would be silly not to scoop up the row L tix, right? I just liked the beautiful symmetry of the row K seats. From my research mezz overhangs row M, so L should still be safe (or is it affected and thus the discounted price?)

Am I missing something with acoustics or stage view or is it just a clear cost savings issue? Which seats would you choose?

Hey, here's a view from row M 111 center orch

I had searched earlier in the evening and found row L center tix as well. Then, later in the evening I saw only row L center, near the aisle, so I just bought those. Still wondering about the earliwr tickets I saw, I searched again, and yes, they came up. Darn it! I guess I should have called and spoken to someone on the phone. Now I know I am being silly!

Go with whatever is cheaper. If they're the same price, honestly, you will have the same view from any of those seats as they're both in the center and both in row L. :) you can't go wrong with either of those.

SILLY...no difference both are center in that row!

Being closer to the aisle will mean you have to get up to let everyone in and out at the start / end of each act. Aisle seats, like all seats, have their pros and cons

Well, not getting out enough is also curable... and the more show you go to, the better you'll get and learning what to buy, and when... and how to save enough $$$ doing it to do it more often. Hope you enjoy it. I'm headed there in a few weeks myself to check it out. Fun show. I saw the "concert version" before it opened on Broadway.
