1380 people can be seated but another 700 can stand as well!
The original 34 rows of seats at the Theatre in Epidauros was extended by another 21 rows in Roman times. This meant that about 15,000 spectators could be seated in the theatre.
The Globe Theatre, when it was built in 1599, was the largest theatre in London, with a capacity of 3000 people. It was eclipsed by the slightly larger Fortune Theatre shortly thereafter. However, not all of those 3000 people were seated; by far the majority stood for the performance. The modern reconstruction of the Globe (Shakespeare's Globe Theatre) has a capacity of about 1100 people, of which 400 are seated. The number of seated people in the original Globe was slightly higher as seats were sold on the balcony and on the stage itself if you had the pull and the money. The standees were expected to pack themselves in much more tightly than people would be comfortable with nowadays.
There were over 1500 people and the Globe Theatre was outdoors. Some say it could hold as many as 3000 people but a lot of them would not have been seated. The standing room seats were quite popular.
The Globe Theatre, where many of William Shakespeare's plays were performed, could accommodate approximately 3,000 spectators. The design featured a mix of seating options, with the groundlings standing in the pit and more affluent patrons seated in the galleries. This layout allowed for a vibrant atmosphere during performances, catering to a diverse audience.
