Our seats were in the uppermost tier of Carnegie Hall--the cheap seats. We didn't realize they would be crammed so tightly together. We expected to be a long way from stage, which we were, and to have poor visibility, but it didn't matter because it was a concert. Carnegie's acoustics are such that we would enjoy the music from any location in the venue. Those willing to spend more money can buy more comfort. If returning to Carnegie, I would pay extra for a seat on a lower tier. In the boxes, people had their own individual padded chairs, and some boxes only had six chairs! I believe that is the first theater I've been in that makes such rigorous class distinction. The riffraff are kept far from the moneyed gentry.
If I'd known the seats were so cramped, I'd made other provisions. It was hard to have my legs immobile for so long and contributed to the flare-up I had with my lymphedema.
If you look at the very, very back, you might get an idea of where we sat. We call those the nose-bleed section!
