Assuming you can't get tickets for Orchestra Center, what's the second best section? Would it be Orchestra left/right or Parterre (level above Orchestra) Center?

Thanks.
It's going to depend on the event. Is it a presentation like Palyfest or Neil DeGrasse Tyson? A concert? A theatrical performance?
It's going to change depending. If it's something intimate like a panel discussion, closer os probably better even of you are off to the side. If it's a large scale theatrical production like the Chinese acrobats, center is probably better even if you are further back because you will get a better perspective. I've been to shows there where even the front of the Mezzanine was preferable. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

I PMed you with specifics, but it's a concert.
When I went to see Wicked in NYC, I had seats six rows back from the front but to the far left. The view was obstructed... Not sure if every theater is like that. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

PM'ed you back. Sounds like from you choices, when it comes to perspective and sound. Center and a bit back would be better than closer and off to the extreme side. The sound is mixed for the center of the theater. So while you may not be as close, you'll have a good perspective and the show will sound better tonally. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know
