[Music] Royal Albert Hall...BBC Proms seating recommendations?

[1066familyman]

Hoping to go to my first classical performance at the Royal Albert Hall for this year's Proms. I found a view from your seat link: https://www.royalalberthall.com/pla...r-seat/view-from-your-seat-standard-layout-2/

Wondered if anyone has any recommendations in particular please?

Promming is the way to go, get the real Proms experience

We normally go for the Grand Tier, hopefully as close to the Stage as possible.

We went to the Albert Hall ( not a prom) ... we had the last seats available right up at the very top. Man it seemed high ! ....The Missus was overcome with vertigo and had to come down again. We asked if we could just stand anywhere and the staff were really good. .. “Oh, we get this all the time” they said and found us some seats low down . We found other people their too who had had the same problem.
For the proms, if we were both capable I would always stand ...
Have a good one!

Enjoy, it’s a beautiful place and the acoustics are amazing.

Best venue in the world in my opinion. I always try to get in a box, which is only marginally more expensive than stalls

Thanks all for the recommendations. Gone for side stalls, fairly close to the stage. Grand Tier ones that were left were much further back and my eyes aren't great Avoiding going for the cheaper seats high up as remember a bad experience of our first new Wembley trip for the Citeh SF.

I can’t be the only one who pisses off everyone else in the room by belting out “we all follow the Albion” when watching this annual last night nonsense can I?!

I was looking out for a Members+ Albion Towel. Disappointing...
