Sat front row at the symphony...

Avery Fisher Hall in NYC just recently spent millions renovating the acoustics of the hall to make it sound better.  Front row at the NY Philharmonic is way more than the $51 I spent on my ticket.  Try hundreds more.

@hilde45 there is a way to be critical and constructive not condescending. Many of these comments however have the "I have the tickets to the best seats, let me lecture you how wrong you are" vibe. Of course you can't prove intent so you can always say that I am just imagining the vibe.

But it seems to be in so many posts: OP asks "how is A with B" and the answer is "oh, no, forget it, you need C" 

The OP specifically stated that where he sat was the best seats in the house.  That assertion is very open to debate.

Just as an aside, when you go to the cinema do you sit in the front row?

I thought of the movies when I read this post. Of course the screen in your face is a very different story than the acoustics.

And now I read 3 articles about what’s the best seat at Heinz Hall! (How useful) Thanks everyone :)

Back to work...
