Looking for the best seats on Broadway? Premium tickets guarantee an unforgettable theater experience. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just want the best view in the house, premium Broadway tickets place you front and center, literally.
What are premium Broadway tickets?
Premium Broadway tickets are the highest-priced tickets, offering the most desirable locations and best views in the theater. These seats are typically located in the center of the Orchestra and Front Mezzanine section, offering a close proximity to the stage and clear sightlines. They also tend to remain available longer than standard seats nearby, which can make for a quick and easy way to assure the best seats in the house.
Where in the theater are premium Broadway tickets located?
Premium Broadway tickets are typically located in the center of the Orchestra section, often including the first few rows, and the first few rows of the Front Mezzanine section.
How much do premium Broadway tickets cost?
Premium Broadway tickets are usually at least $200. For more popular productions, premium tickets can cost up to $500. Demand for a production, as well as when the performance is taking place, can affect the cost of a premium ticket.
How do I purchase premium Broadway tickets?
Premium Broadway tickets are available wherever Broadway tickets are sold. If the ticket itself is not specifically marked as premium, the price of the ticket will indicate that it is a premium seat.
Should I purchase premium tickets in the Orchestra or Mezzanine?
The answer to this question is entirely up to what you are looking for out of your Broadway experience. Orchestra premium seats offer an up-close, immersive experience with the cast just a few feet away. They're ideal if you love being close to the action and feeling part of the show. Mezzanine premium seats provide a wider, more complete view of the stage. Since the Mezzanine overhangs the Orchestra, the front rows still feel close while giving you a better overall perspective.
Most Broadway theaters require stairs to access the Mezzanine. If you have mobility concerns, premium seats in the Orchestra are usually your best option.

Are premium tickets worth the price?
Premium tickets can be worth the price if having a prime view and hassle-free purchase experience are priorities for you. These tickets typically guarantee some of the best seats in the house, offering excellent sightlines and close proximity to the stage. Theatergoers should be aware, however, that premium tickets don't include extra perks—you're paying solely for the location and availability.
If premium tickets are simply not in your budget, don't fret. Often times, seats just behind or beside the premium section offer a very similar view at a lower price. If you're on the fence about if premium tickets are right for you, take a moment to compare seating charts and prices before purchasing. You may find great value just outside the premium zone.
