The Globe's capacity was 1500, but often held over 3000 people. Unless you were wealthy and sat in the balcony, it was standing room only.
They were built out of carved stone they didn't cost that much
There were four places on the Globe stage where an actor could appear to be hiding from the others. First, the roof over the stage was supported by two large wooden pillars, which an actor could hide behind. These were probably the "trees" in As You Like It and the place where Troilus and Thersites hide in Troilus and Cressida. Then there is the "concealment space", a small room in the back wall with a curtain in front of it, used to hide Ferdinand and Miranda in The Tempest. Finally, there is the balcony above the stage. In Romeo and Juliet, Romeo (behind a pillar) is spying on Juliet (on the balcony), but the person on the balcony could just as easily be spying on the stage.
There was only one stage for the Globe. It was 42 feet wide and extended out 27 feet into the pit or yard. There was an upper deck where some scenes were played, such as the balcony scene in Romeo & Juliet.

The Globe Theatre had two levels of balconies, known as the first and second galleries. Each balcony level offered seating for audience members to watch the performances.

The general consensus is that there were two levels of seats under the roof, if those are the galleries you are asking about. The modern Globe has two and it looks like pictures of the original Globe. If you are talking about the gallery above the stage that was Juliet's balcony or the walls of Harfleur, there was only one.
