What are the 'stalls'?

[spunkypumpkn]

I know this is a really sh*t question.. so apologies in advance.

I'm hoping to buy some Ricky Gervais tickets for sheffield city hall. Looking at some on ebay... but I have no idea regarding the terms used to describe areas of the theatre. What area are the stalls?
cheers

The stalls are generally the seats right in front of the stage, (rather than up a height so you're looking down), but obviously sloping for a better view.

Some stalls, though, do have quite a slope and go back a fair way.

At De Montfort Hall, they have 'tiered stalls'. Rows (approx) A - F are flat, with rows G to something like P or S being quite steeply raked until they meet the front of the circle.

I would suggest you contact the venue box office and ask them about the position of the seats you've seen if you're at all unsure.

I just went on to the Sheffield City Hall site & then into Ricky Gervais concerts to look at seating plan and according to that both concerts are sold out.

Here is a plan of Sheffield City Hall. Use the % tab at the top to zoom in; you can see where each numbered seat is.
