    Hello,

    I'm looking to book tickets a concert happening in April. The seating prices are all different depending where you book your seats. The cheapest prices I can see from the map are €27 each in the choir balcony which seems to be behind the stage..
    Can anybody tell me that has been to the NCH if you're still able to see the artists perform if I was to book seats in the choir balcony?

    I have been only once to the NCH and I will be honest that I can't recall these seats at all.

    Looking at the seating plan, it looks like you would get the backs of the musicians. But they seem to be far enough from the stage to block the view of the stage.

    Could I suggest calling NCH box office and ask them directly if any of these seats have restricted viewing? This might also depend on the type of event, how big the orchestra would be etc.

    Good call, I'll do that today and ask them. Thanks for the reply! Thought I would try my luck before calling them and see if any of the general public could tell me

    The choir is behind the stage so you'll end up seeing the backs of the artists - always thought they were odd seats tbh

    I sat in the choir balcony once. I didn't think it was all that bad. It is a free for all so if you want front row, you'd want to get there as soon as they open the doors. Even though you only see their backs, you are up close to the music.
