auditorium seating

Theater audience arrangement

Auditorium seating refers to rows of chairs arranged in a sloped or tiered configuration, typically fixed to the floor and facing a stage, screen, or podium.

The arrangement maximizes sightlines and capacity in theaters, lecture halls, and concert venues.

The term also describes the seating section itself: We sat in the auditorium seating rather than the balcony.
