In ancient Greek theatres, the front row was reserved for the priests and priestesses who were responsible for overseeing the religious aspects of the performances. They were seated in the area known as the "prohedria," which translates to "front seats." These individuals had important ceremonial roles during the theatrical productions and were given the best seats in the house to honor their status and significance in Greek society.
the poorest people who payed for the cheapest seats
In ancient Greek theatres, wealthy individuals typically sat in designated areas known as the "prohedria," which were located in the front rows, often in the center. These seats were usually made of stone and provided the best views of the performances. The prohedria was reserved for high-status individuals, including city officials and dignitaries, reflecting their social standing and importance in the community.
There were the groundlings (people who stood on the floor I front of the stage) and the higher class who sat on wooden benches on the three tiers of the theatre
If you sat in an Elizabethan Theatre, it would be called sitting in the yard. The audience was also referred to as the groundlings.
