RE: DC Flamenco Festival tickets jus... (in reply to Francisco)
Hey Samwise, have you been to Lisner Auditorium before? If not, here are some quick thoughts on seating:
The seats seem to be sufficiently tiered that you shouldn't have trouble seeing becuase you're too far back. The sound, of course, is a little more "in the moment" towards the front, but it's not bad in the terrace, either. I would be more concerned with left/right. This will make less difference as you move back the rows, but I would rather pay less for front terrace seats right in the center than orchestra seats off in the wings.
I sat dead center at the beginning of the terrace seats for Sara Baras' show two years ago and it was great! I was in the back orchestra seats kind of off to the side for Manolo Marin and Merche Esmerelda, and while is was still a great show, and I didn't miss anything per se, I think I preferred my seats for the Sara Baras show.
"Should I watch PdL from this seat or from this seat?" There are worse decisions in life, no?
