Normally a shilling, which back then was worth a lot, so normally only rich/famous people sat there.
pennies depending on where you sat in the theater
The Globe Theater is an open air theater. It was three stories high and held about 1,500 people. People either sat in the covered seats or stood in the open part of the theater that was lower than the stage.
The best seats are the boxes where the richer people sat in those days and they cost about a shilling.
Many of the richer people who sat up in the galleries attended the Globe Theater in the 1600's but many poorer people attended the plays in the central yard also.

There were several galleries in the Globe Theatre and other theatres built to the same design. The audience sat in them, although the one immediately behind the stage, which could be accessed from the tiring rooms, was used for acting on, where the scene involved someone on the ground talking to someone high up, like Romeo talking to Juliet on her balcony, or Henry V talking to the citizens of Harfleur on their walls. The audience probably sat there too, since if they were important enough they would even sit on the stage itself.
Prisoners were released from prison for the day in order to see theatre, so they likely sat with the rest of the population in the main theatron. No excavation has uncovered any special boxes within the theatres other than those boxes for the wealthy, so any prisoners in attendance sat in the audience with civilians.
The groundlings or penny standers stood around the 15 x 45 foot stage. More affluent audience members sat in either of two galleries on the second and third floors. The most affluent viewed the plays from Lords Rooms on ether side of the stage-the Elizabethan equivalent of skyboxes.

"Yes, they were at the theater," replied Jane. "They sat in the twenty-ninth row."
