The Hills of California Tickets – Harold Pinter Theatre

Jez Butterworth’s play The Hills of California opens at the Harold Pinter Theatre on January 27th, 2024, for a limited season.

This house. It’s called ‘Sea View’. It’s just that I’ve looked out of every single window, and you can’t. You can not see the sea.

Blackpool, 1976. It’s the driest summer in over two centuries. The beaches are full to the brim with sun worshippers. The hotels in the town are all packed. Far away from the donkey rides and chocices, in the sweltering backstreets, the Webb Sisters have returned to their mother’s run-down guest house, as she lies upstairs dying.

Jez Butterworth resumes his partnership with Sam Mendes, following their multi-award-winning triumph The Ferryman to bring you their latest collaboration, The Hills of California.

Harold Pinter Theatre Seating Plan

The Harold Pinter Theatre is a medium size West End theatre which has a capacity of 799 seats and four levels of seating.

The venue has several different price bands and a variety of views are available in the auditorium due to restrictions from support pillars that are dotted throughout the seating area so studying the seating plan in detail before purchase is recommended. The best seats in the theatre are in the centre of the Stalls section, however, the overhang from the Dress Circle can affect the view towards the rear of this section which should be noted. Great views of the stage are also available from the second row of the Dress Circle for those who prefer to view the stage looking down from an elevated position.

There is value to be found within the theatre from studying the cut-off points of the many different price bands with many seats often being discounted due to the slightly restricted views. These seats can often be worth the risk for patrons looking for cheap tickets to The Hills Of California, however, the Balcony can also be a good bet but has a distant, but clear, view and is ideal for patrons looking for discount tickets or lastminute shows in London.

Where In The Auditorium Are The Best Value Tickets At The Harold Pinter Theatre Located?

There are four different levels in the theatre that all have their own merits whether it be in the form of low cost or the perfect view. The best views of the stage are probably located in the centre of the stalls and dress circle, while the cheapest seats are unsurprisingly in the royal circle and balcony located on the third and fourth-tiers respectively. When looking for value for money for tickets at the Harold Pinter Theatre it is strongly recommended to study the seating plan in detail before purchase as there are several seats on each level that feature restrictions from both overhangs from other sections and also pillars.

Should I Avoid Tickets At The Harold Pinter Theatre That Have A Restricted View?

Some seats feature restrictions to the view of the stage in all four sections of the theatre. The front of the stalls offers a pretty much perfect view while some of the seats in the rows at the back are slightly impaired by two pillars and also the overhang from the dress circle which should always be reflected in the price. There are some seats in the dress circle on the sides of the centre section of the auditorium that is also affected by supportive pillars so it is highly recommended to study the seating plan before purchase to avoid these if possible.

When booking tickets in the top two tiers it is worth noting that the balcony is quite high up and perhaps not suitable for people who suffer from vertigo, and the royal circle does not have much of a rake in the seating and there are minor restrictions due to the safety rail that affect some seats in the front rows. All seats that feature any restriction to the view of the stage should always be priced accordingly so when studying the seating plan it can sometimes pay dividends to look for cut-off points in the different price bands to maximise the value of your purchase as occasionally two seats either next to each other or directly behind each other can have a big difference in the ticket price yet have more or less the same view.
