The Royal Albert Hall has a vast, coliseum-style auditorium with five levels of seating. The seating layout can be adapted depending on the event, with some in-the-round performances adding "ringside" seating close to the stage. Traditional concerts keep the performance space to the large stage at the Southern end of the hall. For the standard layout, the total possible capacity is 5,272. The auditorium features many boxes and loges in the middle tiers and the topmost Gallery level features unreserved seating and standing space. Approximately 1,270 seats at the hall are privately owned. While the open design of the auditorium means views are very clear from all angles, the sheer size means that opera glasses are recommended for seats in the highest levels, furthest from the stage.
