best seats > Stalls or Balcony? - usually i get... (2024)

Hi Rob!

We often get asked this question and it really depends on personal preference. The stalls tend to be a bit busier and the balcony a little quieter, so some people prefer the busier atmosphere downstairs while others prefer the extra space and better choice of seats the balcony usually offers. The balcony also provides a slightly clearer view of the screen, but it is also further away, so you might prefer to be downstairs if you want to be closer to the screen.

We're always really happy for people to take a look upstairs and down before buying their ticket, so the next time you visit feel free try out one of the balcony seats before deciding where you want to sit!
