Best Cheap Seats in the House

I love the ballet. I have been going to the Nutcracker since I was a little girl. Ten years ago I started going to the regular season of the ballet. Each year I worked my way down so eventually I was in the first row-center of the balcony; which means I have the best, cheap seats available. I bring my small binoculars and enjoy the elegance of the evening just as much as the box seat holders(I know because I have friends who sit there). I have two seats, so I bring a friend and use the night as a chance to connect with someone I care about, as well as being completely blown away by the amazing dancers. The orchestra music is a treat as well.
