Frozen Partial View Seats

Looking at buying seats for Frozen and there are a lot of orchestra seats listed as partial view. Has anyone sat here or not how partial the view is and if it's worth it at all?

Someone on a view from my seat posted a mini review of their lottery partial view seat and they said to sit in the right orchestra over he left. Also, just my experiences with partial view in ohher shows is sit farther back cuz you’ll end up being able to see more. Like rather than sit row b of the orchestra maybe sit row f partial view

Don't worry, there's no real set or anything else to look at in this production.

Sit on house right instead of left if you can. You miss more if you can’t see the left. I sat in seat E15 in the Orchestra (lottery seat) and I felt like I got the full show. I did miss a few things but I wouldn’t say it ruined my experience in anyway

Glad to hear yesraccoons! I picked up Orchestra E13 earlier today after someone posted about the ticket release in the previews thread.

Does anyone know why there are seats in the first row of center orchestra designated as "Partial View"? They're priced at about $79 and are situated directly adjacent to seats priced at $250+.

I'm assuming they're considered partial view because they're located directly behind the conductor.

When the St. James mean partial view they mean partial view!!!

I sat in these seat earlier in the run and the set was obscured! 

I can't remember exactly which seat I was Row L or M on Orchestra Right and I missed 30% of the stage. My friends seat Row G or H on Orchestra Left they missed significantly more than me.

The less you can see for this show, the better.

They should charge premium prices for partial view

I’m now paranoid my seats will be bad I have orchl first two seats

For partial view at $79.50, which would offer the least obstructed view/best deal for the price? My options are:

ORCHL D 13 or Row K 25

MEZZL C 29

BALCL B 1 or C 35

BALCR C 34

This will be my first time ever going to New York and seeing a Broadway show, so I'm super scared that I'll make a bad choice in seats!

I don't understand because the Stage is pretty much open most of the show. Most songs are performed down center. But the closer you are the more nudity you see. Ask the children about the butts. There are butt sightings and a plethora of butt jokes. For the kids, you know?

I’m at intermission for tonight’s show and highly recommend the seats in Row A right side Orchestra 10 and 12. They’re fantastic and you barely miss any action.

edit: I wouldn’t recommend the ones in Row B, they’re way further right and I imagine you’d run into a lot of issues there with the wood on the outside of the stage. I think Row A and then anything Row D and further back would be fine.

I think orchestra K 25 is your best option.

I would probably go with D13. I just saw the show in OrchL E15 and it was amazing. Very little obstruction and what you do miss they tend to walk upstage and in full view. Let it Go in particular was amazing from my seat.

I saw it a couple of times in "partial view" areas in Denver. While the theaters are different I imagine the obstructed things are similar. Once time I sat on the right side, my right not the actor's, and the only thing I couldn't see very well was part of the sauna number opening act 2, but it was a small portion and worth the money I saved. I also couldn't see Caissie Levy at the very beginning of the coronation scene until she walked from the back of the stage to a little more center. Again, not huge deal and she hadn't started singing yet as she moves closer to center stage before beginning "Dangerous to Dream".  Totally worth the savings. I also sat to the left once and couldn't see one of the children's beds very well which contains some ice effects. Not a huge deal though. I feel like those were the biggest things and it was because of the stage wall more than anything. It obviously could be different at St James since it's smaller than the Buell.

Row B isn't further to the side than C or D is by looking at the seating chart. The 5 seats in that row are right behind Row A.

Agreed I’d sit in Row K 25

the big problem in row b is the wooden outlay on the stage for Row B, I think it would cause problems for Row B but C and D would be better since it’s further back.

"

But rows C and D have more seats further to the sides so how would it be better? 

[thesmash]

Posted: 3/24/18 at 11:23am

I think C and D would be fine since they’re further back and the angle would be improved. B is basically right in front of the wooden outlay. This is just my judgment from looking backwards. I would definitely avoid B though.

Does anyone know why seats b1 and b2 in the balcony are partial view? I’m just curious as to why only that one seat in either side is partial view

I am confused with what you mean as well.   Row B is exactly behind row A, it has the same if not BETTER views because its further back.  ROW C, is the problem, as it is significantly to the right or left of Rows A and B.    please look at seating chart again, i think you have your rows mixed up.

The seating chart isn’t accurate looking at it, I can see why there’s confusion. Row B is further right than is reflected on the seating chart.

edit: Here's a picture on Instagram I found that reflects what I'm talking about

thank you for the picture.

So i compared to the seating chart.  Row BB has 4 seats..that checks off according to the picture.  Row A has 6 seats..that is correct.

Row B on seating chart has 6 seats as well. but on your picture i count 7 or 8 (hard to see)!  it is the 7th or 8th seat that is very far to the right or left that you are talking about.  is it possible they arent using those seats?  it is not on Ticketmaster seating chart.  very odd.
