The worst seats were not seats. Spectators stood up to watch in an open area in front of the stage called "the Pit" and it cost a penny.

Seats around the sides of the theatre cost tuppence (two pennies).

The best seats were on the stage and cost thruppence (three pennies)
Ticket prices have varied greatly over the years as theatres and production costs have changed, and also due to inflation. Besides, even if you specified when you are talking about, you'd need to specify which theatre and where in the theatre. In Shakespeare's day you could pay a penny or as much as a shilling. Nowadays it can cost five pounds or fifty pounds.
