Tooly Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 I hope some of you Ottawa folk have been to the Southam Hall at the national Arts centre before. were buying some gordon lightfoot tix for our inlaws, my wifes folks, and we are wondering what section to buy for the best sightlines? the seating chart is kinda funny, and so are the prices, 10$ to 74$ in the same section, we figure its because of some really rotton views or shitty seats, so any help would be great. as to which section/or seats offer the best views. ill try to link up the seating chart for this.

Velvet Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 I think pretty much any seat is a good seat in that room. Some might say that the balcony puts you a bit far from the stage, but I think they're all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 i've only been there a handful of times, but i've sat in every area and i think they're all good views.i don't think there are any obstructed views. maybe ask the NAC box office why there is the vast difference in ticket prices.

rubberdinghy Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 The $10 dollar tix are most likely the Student Live Rush Program tix, where students can get tix for 10 bones, if they are a member.http://www.liverush.ca/en/ottawa/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 i didn't think you could pre-order live rush tickets, but i haven't ever done that so i'm not sure of anything i just wrote.those live rush tickets pissed me off once. i bought MMW tickets the day they went on sale, spend about $50 i think. William walked up the afternoon of the show, whipped out the student id, and paid $8 for the seat next to mine. serves me right for expecting MMW to sell out a giant hall in ottawa next to a field where blue rodeo was playing at the same time.

rubberdinghy Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Apparently they can be purchased anytime, same day, online or at the box office.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Certainly there are no 'obstructed view' seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 the only thing that sucks is that there is no middle aisle. so if you gotta go pee and you're seated in a middle seat, you have to cut through the row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooly Posted March 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 awesome, thanks so much velvet, adam and bouche. just made it alot easier for me.have a good one, and thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Oh, and seat #1 is in the middle, with odd numbers on one side and even numbers on the other. So if you have the middle two seats they'll be #1 & #2, if you're a bit to the left they'll be seats #4 & #6, if you get what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
