orchestra seats

Main floor tickets

Orchestra seats are the main floor seating in a theater, closest to the stage.

The term comes from the area where musicians traditionally sat in ancient Greek theaters.

These are typically the most expensive and desirable seats in the house: We splurged on orchestra seats for the Broadway show.

Also called the orchestra section or simply the orchestra.
