Anyone familar with the views this theatre has to offer? Would like to go, but can't break the bank right now, how far back is too far for this venue? This is Roosevelt University's theatre.

The Auditorium was the city's original opera house and it is IMMENSE!! Sit as close as you can or risk eye strain and nosebleeds! (LOL)

Do you guys think that Row F is fairly close?

Well, let's see. "F" is the 6th letter in the alphabet, sooooooo

I've never been to the Auditorium Theatre before. Usually F's a good row, but people are talking about how big the theatre is, so I'd imagine that the normal rules don't apply. Hence why I asked.

Personally I always buy the cheapest ticket and move down. There is never anyone checking tickets after the door. I bought $15 or $20 tickets for Little Shop and just chose the seat I liked.

Not valid on Friday or Saturday performances. Subject to availability. Not valid with any other offer or on previously purchased tickets. Other restrictions may apply.

Thank you for the discount code, chinkie! I was on Ticketmaster tonight trying to crack it (and wondering how awful the $7.50 seats must be to be so cheap).
