1) For seats
. . . tier1 is the best
. . . tier2 is the farthest away
. . . tier3 is the worst for table placement and cranking the neck
2) Why do you think they are different prices?
3) Some say "we had great tier2 (or tier3) seats".
4) Well, compared to tier1, it just ain't so.
5) Whenever possible, reserve tier1 !!!!!!!
NOTE: Why do you think theaters charge different prices for live performances? Poor seats are just poor seats! After all, would you rather sit in the orchestra seat (rows 1-4, or so) or 5-7 rows back? Of course, the orchestra seats are worse.
