Gershwin seating question

Since the stupid ticketmaster doesn't show any form of useful seating chart, i was wondering if someone could tell me. Row DD in the Orch. Are those good? I figure its either really far towards the front, or really far towards the back based on if they start of end with double letters. So, can anyone tell me if those are good seats at all?

Yes, those are third row Orchestra.

Can I have them?

Oh, haha, seriously? Where I live most of the theaters start with single letters then go to double letters...was thinking like 28th row center lol. Well, thank you for correcting my ignorance of seating charts...though Ticketmaster should have a clear chart lol.

Be careful with the single-letter, double-letter seating. There's no set rule, and it depends on the theatre.

In the Lunt-Fontanne, where LITTLE MERMAID is playing, the first row is A, it goes to Z, and THEN after Z is AA, BB, CC, and DD, which is the last row.

There really should be some set rule for these things. Or show a seating chart when purchasing tickets online.

Most theatres have seating charts on their official website.

Which of these seats is better?

orch row A seat 13
orch row M seat 104

I like to be close, but seat 13 is pretty far over.

Go for Row M center. You're correct in that seat 13 is pretty far over. I sat in seat C13 and it was further over than I'd have liked. I kept wishing I was further back and/or more towards the center. So I'd imagine the angle is even worse in Row A since it's closer. (did that make any sense? lol)

Zoraksferal: Where exactly is your seat in BB? If it is way over on the side (the partial view seats), I'd recommend something slightly further back; however, if it is in the center - go for it!

I sat in row BB in seat 5 and loved it!! Ya it was a partial view seat, but to be that close for that cheap of a price (55$) i would sit there again for sure!! There was a good chunk of little things blocked, but i know the show really well so that didnt bother me at all! Plus sometimes the cast was like an arms length away! haha And defying gravity was really awesome from that angle!!

The partial view seats unfortunately are not $55 anymore, but $75 or $75.
