The view was good, I could see everything happening clearly but just couldn’t see the orchestra. Limited leg room but was manageable for me (I’m 5’3”)

For an expensive seat it is a poor view. Centre stage is blocked by the head of the person in B 7

Be aware that this standing place is behind tall, fixed seats and view of the stage is majorly obscured by several heads in front. Sound is good but view is really bad.
Amazing view. Cramped seats but bargain for the price

The front two seats are standard size, and the back two are high chairs so you can see over the front ones. Great view of the orchestra, and most of the stage. Limited view of the far right side of the stage. Sounds was very good!

Lost small amount of stage on right but didn't detract from performance as the whole stage was used. For the price can't fault!
Perfect view from this seat at the front of the balcony. Priced as restricted view due to a hand rail which honestly I didn't notice. Plenty of room. Very comfortable seats.
Excellent excellent seats. Although slight caveat, only paid £25 for these £235 seats using the Young ROH scheme. If the opportunity arose again I would most likely seek to purchase a seat in the stalls wanting to be closer

These are good seats though the sound can be a bit brassy. Good percussion and voice. One has to turn slightly sideways to avoid a crick in the neck but otherwise good.
Good view, but given it is both on the side and almost at ground level, it is the least good of the premium seats (orchestra stalls/Donald Gordon grand tier/Stalls Circle)

Brilliant seat, you are so close and in the centre but can still see everything since the orchestra separates you a bit. You can also see all the dancer’s faces and expressions. Only issue is if people in front are tall, they may block some of the stage.

Great view for the price. Move forwards for an unrestricted view
Good value for money
Great view for the price but middle of row so people always making you get up as they cross over
Great view, feels closer than this picture suggests when in person
Amazing view and cheap seats but restricted legroom if you're tall
Good view, but wood block in front of seat means uncomfortable if you're tall

Wonderful view. Listed as restricted view due to a hand rail but I hardly noticed it. Comfy seats.

Never sat so close to the stage! brilliant seats. You do miss literally a few seconds of a few scenes but the entirety of the performance is visible
