If they sat, they probably sat in the galleries surrounding the stage. It is possible that some of them may have been favoured with a seat on the stage. (Such a thing is dramatised in Beaumont's Knight of the Burning Pestle, in which a merchant and his wife take a seat on the stage.)
The famous Shakespearian 'Globe' theatre in London; attendees, rather than sitting, stood and enjoyed often interactive theatre with its performers. The Globe was first built in 1599 by Shakespeare's Playing Company.

Be rich and important.
When people used to go and watch perfomances in the Globe, the wealthy, or as you would say "the posh people" would sit on the seats in the theatre.
The Globe Theatre had wooden benches to sit on. You could get a cushion if you were prepared to pay. In Shakespeare's day, the plays went on for two or three hours without intermission, so I imagine your bum might get sore by the end.

There were four different places to sit. The wealthy could sit right on stage.

Two pennys to watch from the pit, three pennys to sit, six pennys to sit, and a crown to sit. So about fifteen quid.
Anyone who could afford to pay the extra money to sit in the galleries could have a seat, and for an extra penny, they could sit on a cushion.
Lord's Rooms were rooms in the theatre where people could sit and watch the play with a proper roof over their heads:the Globe Theatre was an open-air theatre.:+)
