The seating in Almi Hall has a slight incline in rows 1–7, with a steeper incline starting from row 8. Additional rows A–E are on a flat floor but are not used for all performances.
Please note that the Almi Hall stage is about one meter high. Therefore, we do not recommend purchasing tickets for the front rows if you are coming to the performance with, for example, small children.
