Seating in the theatre

Globe Audience Capacity- the theatre could hold up to 1500 people in the audience and this number expanded to 3000 with the people who crowed outside 

Royalty- Queen Elizabeth I loved watching plays but these were generally performed in indoor playhouses for her pleasure. She would not have attended the plays performed at the amphitheatres such as the Globe 

The Nobles- Upper class nobles would have paid for better seats in the Lord's rooms paying 5d for the privilege 

The lower class- the commoners, were called the Groundlings or stinkers, and would have stood in the theatre pit and paid 1d entrance fee. They put 1 penny in a box at the theatre entrance
