This seat was discounted due to the pole being in view, and I can see why - very disruptive to watching, but everything visible if you tilt left/right.

Probably one of the best seats! No obstruction to the view of the stage, raked so you can see above heads.

Can see all of the stage, just has a pillar in the left hand of your vision. Great view of the stage though.
Good view but the vertical rise in the Pit is relatively low so there's a risk of areas of the stage being obscured if sat behind someone tall, especially action low on the stage. OK legroom.

Great seats could see all of the stage. You are so close that you can see every expression on the actors faces and details in the set. My son is quite tall at 7 but I still take a booster seat for him though no other children were using in that row.

Great view but bench style seats were uncomfortable.

Heavily restricted in view. Is a cheaper price because of this so can get a cheap ticket but will cut of left hand side of the stage

Can see most of the stage but it does cut of the left of the stage. Need to lean forward to get a better view

Great view. Front row of Upper Circle. Seats not the biggest or the most comfortable and leg room is OK but someone very tall would be restricted.

Seat is smaller with no padded back so not the comfiest of seats. Cuts of left hand side of stage but is cheapest price ticket.

A11 in upper circle also has a little space next to it perfect for your bag/coat! The seats are comfy and no arms so not squeezing you! Have to lean forward for a good view of the stage though

This seat was at the end of the aisle and the view was slightly obstructed by a pillar, but the seat next to it (B13) was fine.

Great view.seats well raked so saw everything even though I had a REALLY tall guy with curly hair in front of me. Lots of leg room. A little uncomfortable after 2hrs 20 but wouldn't put me off

View was often blocked by the pillar but was close tot he stage and was easy to look around it! Good value for money!

Good view, no real restriction. Decent leg room and space for bag under seat or beside as it is the back row.
Section Pit
Some action obscured when actors were sitting DSR, but good view overall
