Bench seat, view is restricted if you sit back (advertised as such) but if you lean in on the safety railing (cushioned) you can see the whole stage very well. Great value seat. Legroom quite small

Very restricted view. A good third/ half of the stage not visible without leaning on the rail.
Good view, but will miss everything that is happening, directly under you. Also, the seat is really uncomfortable. You can't lean on anything, and there is no elbow rests.
Super close to the stage, but you have to lean it a bit if the actors are on the right side.

Very poor leg room although I am quite tall. Excellent view for the most part, occasionally characters will have thier backs to you but its in a round so to be expected.
Discounted seat because of safety barrier in view, but it was easy enough to look around it and it made the seat cheap. Excellent legroom being end of aisle.

Good view but could be obstructed by people in front leaning forwards, very cramped with limited legroom
Good view, easy access (stairs involved). Reasonable space at the seat too.

Obstructed view due to narrow pillar. But not bad…and much cheaper than other seats.

more of a stool than a regular chair. comfortable but best for tall people! legs dont reach the ground but theres a bare for them to rest on.
Excellent view of the stage. I think most seats have good views at this venue so book with confidence. First time at The Old Vic not the last

Lots of leg room, a bit close to the person next to you but not too bad. Comfy seats and a great view.
Seat from restricted seat was ok though sound was more an issue
Great view of the stage and performers, with solid legroom.
Great seat, central, comfortable, plenty of leg room, reasonably priced beer!
Section Boxes
High seats but lots of leg room and clear view of stage.

Seat is a high stool type with a footrest. excellent view of the stage, good value
