Shubert Theatre Seating Guide | Hell’s Kitchen

Some of the right and left orchestra seats all the way to the sides are marked as a partial view, for example, row D seats 28 & 30 or row L seats 28 & 30 are marked as a partial view.

What does Partial View or Obstructed View Seating Mean?

This is what the venue says about partial view seats: tickets labeled as obstructed or partial view will have their disadvantages; however, you will be able to see the action uninterrupted, and only part of the stage, set, or field will be blocked.

When you buy tickets on TickPick, sellers are required to disclose whether the seats are marked as obstructed or have a partial view. This is hugely helpful, as it alleviates concerns about whether your tickets will be valid.

What we have heard from other fans is that the price of the partial view tickets is not discounted enough compared to other ticket prices (but this is subjective).

We have also been informed that there are a few thin poles in the balcony section; however, they are very slender and don’t significantly obstruct your view. These seats are not marked obstructed, but you may find it distracting (roughly 6 inches in diameter). These poles look to be in front of the first row of the center balcony (near seats 113 and 102).

You can see a picture of the balcony sections below. When looking from the stage, you can see these poles, but when viewing users’ photos, I was unable to see these poles.

Where Not to Sit at Shubert Theatre

Do not sit in the last row of the center balcony, on either side of the lighting booth. That is row J, seats 113 and 114, or 101 and 102. The poles discussed in the above section will obstruct your view. The people sitting in front of you may also block your view, so if these tickets are cheap, there’s a good reason for that; consider not buying these seats.

For Those With Height Fears or Balance Issues

Like many venues and theaters, the steps on the balcony are very steep. This area should be avoided by the elderly as well as children with a fear of heights and or balance issues.

Limited Leg Room Seating

If you attend many shows, the lack of legroom is likely not a surprise to you. I am 6’1 and although legroom is scarce, it’s manageable. If you are taller than I, then I have sympathy, and in that case, I recommend getting a ticket in the orchestra sections on the aisle. Your best bet will be the right orchestra (on the right-hand side).

The number of seats increases per row, so if you get an aisle seat on the outer side, you will have plenty of room. If you buy tickets on TickPick, sellers are required to disclose if the seats are obstructed, so you don’t need to worry about this.
