Gallery 2 at the Bridge Theatre

Rows A, B and C, the top level and the cheapest. Pride sells it as the Gallery, so a Gallery ticket is a Gallery 2 seat.

Who books Gallery 2, and what it costs

Anyone who would rather spend less and still see properly. For Pride the seats up here start at around £35, and the dearest of them costs about what the cheapest Gallery 1 seat costs. At the same money, we would take the middle of this level over the cheapest Gallery 1 seats, which are at the ends of row C, under this level and by the air vents.

Where we would sit

The centre block. Nothing overhangs this level, so a central seat has a great view at a sensible price.

The front row

Row A sits behind a rail and you have to lean forward to see past it. Row B behind it does not have the problem, and it is the better seat.

When we would not book up here

When the stage is in the middle. This level is at its best for an end-stage production; with the action in the round, some of it happens almost directly beneath you and out of sight. For an in-the-round production, book lower down.

Legroom

Row A to about 5ft 6, with the wall bowing out to buy a little extra. Row B to about 5ft 9. Row C is high seats, raised to about 56cm with a metal foot bar, and fine at 5ft 7 and above.

Getting up here

Twelve steps up from the foyer, with steps between the rows, and no lift. This is the one part of the building that is not step-free. If steps are a problem, book Gallery 1 instead: it is on the level of the foyer, and the access route explains the rest.
