Has anyone sat in the Rausing circle before? Just wondering if it's too far away from the stage and very high up? Thanks.

Probably depends what you're going to see but we sit there every Christmas for the Carols and we love it 😀

As long as you have a head for heights it’s fine.

Fullofpudding · 16/09/2023 18:09

As long as it's not as high as the top level at the 02 Grin

We sat there last week and it was fine - this was our view.

(Steep but definitely not like the O2 which made me feel like this 😨)

It's fine. We've been in the front row of The Rausing and the view was great. It won't be bad even if you are further back. RAH is pretty small.

It's steep getting up there but feels fine once you're sat down. Great view of the stage!

It used to be called up in the Gods.

I went up there once about 40 years ago and wouldn't really want to be up there again if at all possible.

Those seats are great for the annual Cirque shows.

Is there a barrier that blocks your view in the front row or is it ok?

It was fine, we could see well. The barrier wasn't an issue and we had more leg space.

I don't like it up there very much. I like the Choir seats.

Fullofpudding · 16/09/2023 19:13

There's a massive difference in price

the view up there is nice. take a opera glass to have a good look at the brass section during the loud bits

seats are quite uncomfortable though if you are very tall.

are seats available next to the organ behind the orchestra? that's an imersive exerience.

have fun! it's an awesome concert hall.
