Balcony Seating

Located on the sides of the stage on the upper level, private boxes are available for purchase for shows at Times Union Center. While these seats may be hard to come by, box seating at this theatre would result in a VIP experience with a great view of the stage. The Times Union Center consists of six boxes, each coming in a unique location with a different view.
The upper level at Times Union Center consists of two different sections, and the Loge seating makes up the first few rows. Spanning from row AAA to GGG, the Loge provides an unobstructed view of the show. Ther walkway is located behind row GGG, so you won't have anyone walking in front of you during the show.
Sitting in the Loge sections is very similar to sitting on Orchestra 2. While you'll have an elevated view of the show, the section is located almost directly above the first row of Orchestra 2, and the angle at which you view the show is comfortable. The seating in the Loge seats provides some of the best value in the theatre.
Once the intermission rolls around, the upper level has their own level on the concourse with bathrooms and other amenities. If you choose to sit upstairs at Times Union Center, the Loge seats are a great choice.
Behind the Orchestra 1 sections at Times Union Center comes Orchestra 2. Going from rows AA to SS, the Orchestra 2 sections fill out the rest of the lower level of the theatre.
Note that the seating arrangement in these sections can get confusing - the Right and Right Center sections are even numbers, the Left and Left Center are odd numbers, and the Center section consists of seats numbered 100 and higher.
While not as close as the Pit or Orchestra 1 sections, sitting in Orchestra 2 is recommended. However, since the balcony overhang comes out the first row in Orchestra 2, sitting in the Loge or Balcony sections is just as close. For some, It might be difficult to see the show from the last few rows. Overall, we like sitting in Orchestra 2 - just know that if you want a close view of the show, you'd be better off sitting elsewhere.
