Performances of 2:22 - A Ghost Story is at the Lyric Theatre from January 21st, 2023. The Lyric Theatre is a medium size West End venue located at the bottom of Shaftesbury Avenue and has four levels with a capacity of 1061 seats.
The best seats in the theatre are located in rows F-J in the centre of the Stalls section which have the best view of the stage along with seats in the front and centre of the Dress Circle which offer an excellent view the stage from an elevated position. Due to the number of support pillars and also the shape of the auditorium in the Lyric Theatre there are several restricted view seats which are regularly sold at lower cost to suit patrons on a budget searching for cheap 2.22 A Ghost Story tickets. Studying the seating plan to exploit the cut off points within the pricing structure can also bring financial dividends as the seats all around the premium seats in the Stalls can offer similar views of the action in lower price bands.
Private boxes are also available in the venue which are located down the sides of the Dress Circle which have between two and three seats and contain freestanding chairs allowing patrons to maximise both their comfort and view and are usually priced comparably to seats in the Grand Circle.
Support pillars are situated throughout the venue, meaning that there are restricted views in certain areas of the auditorium resulting in some viewing obstructions. The rows all curve round into a horseshoe shape, which causes the seats at the very end of rows to suffer from side-angle views of the stage.
