They sat on benchs that were above the groundlings but below the upper-class.
They sat in 'galleries' and sometimes on cusions.
the upper class sat in the theatre galleries who would often rent straw pillows to us on the wooden benches
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.
the people sat on each otha's laps
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.:+)
At the Globe Theatre, the different social classes sat in different sections: the wealthy sat in the galleries or box seats, the middle class sat in the middle section, and the lower class stood in the yard in front of the stage. The seating arrangement reflected the social hierarchy of Elizabethan society.
