In ancient Greek theatres, wealthy individuals typically sat in designated areas known as the "prohedria," which were located in the front rows, often in the center. These seats were usually made of stone and provided the best views of the performances. The prohedria was reserved for high-status individuals, including city officials and dignitaries, reflecting their social standing and importance in the community.
I think the the rich people sat up in the top of the melodrama theatre where the view would be the best.
Many of the more affluent or influential people would have a private box.
There were four different places to sit. The wealthy could sit right on stage.
only rich people could afford to sit in the galleries (seats), lords would sit in the balconies behind the stage, poor people would stand in the yard and royalists would sit in the royal box.
Be rich and important.
They sat at the front when the rich people sat at the back... *@*

They payed 5 pounds which was pretty expensive at those times
Yes. It was where all the rich people sat, and the poor people had to stand at the bottom. Although I would have prefered to be at the bottom... a better view!
They loved his plays and sonnet and if they were rich enough, they went and saw them although you could get in free but you had to stand or sit on the hard, cold, cdamp floor of the theatre.
Normally a shilling, which back then was worth a lot, so normally only rich/famous people sat there.
I assume you meant the Globe Theatre, England? In which case, the upper seats were probably dearer, and allowed those who could afford the higher cost, to sit above the common people occupying the cheaper seats below.
In a theatre, ushers are responsible for showing people where to sit. They assist patrons in finding their seats, provide information about the venue, and ensure that the audience follows the theatre's policies. Ushers play a key role in enhancing the overall experience for attendees.
