Best seats

The theater seats about 2,586 across a wide orchestra level, four main rings and a small Fifth Ring. The orchestra puts you closest to the dancers, while the First and Second Rings give a clear view of the full stage patterns that ballet choreography is built on. The upper rings cost less and still look straight down at the stage. Check the seat map for your date before you buy.

Ticket prices

December Nutcracker performances, especially the weekends before Christmas, and gala evenings draw the highest demand here, while Tuesday and Wednesday nights in the NYCB repertory seasons are often the easiest way in. Resale prices can be above or below face value. The all-in price, including fees, is shown before you pay.
