Which Seats Offer the Best View?
Given its size, Palace Theater has a lot of great seating options. The best view can be had from the middle seats in first couple of rows (AA-B) of the orchestra section. The seats in this section are closest to the stage and offer an unobstructed view with pitch perfect sound.
Next we have the front rows (AA-B) of the mezzanine. Some people prefer the mezzanine seats over orchestra due to mezzanine seats being elevated and hence offering a slightly better look at the stage. The price for both these sections are pretty much the same (and most expensive), so you can take your pick depending on how much you like heights.
Which Seats/Section Offer the Best Value for Money?
For obvious reasons, the seats offering the best view of the theatre are always the most expensive too. Since spending $200+ on one ticket is not an option for everyone, we have the next best thing; seats which offer the fine mix of being value for money.
The middle pack of rows in the orchestra section (F-O) offer a consistently good look at the stage while being priced considerably lesser than the premium orchestra seats. Similarly, the middle rows (C-F) in the front mezzanine section offer a good look at the stage without costing as much as the premium mezzanine seats.
The front balcony rows A to B are also not considered too shabby when it comes to value for money seats in the Palace Theater.
