House of Blues New Orleans seating

Standing is the charm of this venue.

Why not? Standing for an entire show is kind of the norm at a venue like that.

Because I have evolved past that stage of concert viewing.

It is small enough that views are good everywhere...UNLESS you're seated directly behind people who stand up the entire show... but that's the case everywhere except arena's with severely sloping seats.

I've gone to some shows that had seats put on the floor in rows... and that made people NOT go on the floor except for the first couple of rows and the higher bar areas were all too packed... which made the band kind of like "this crowd is lame" and drop their enthusiasm about playing (and cut the show short compared to other shows on that tour). Saw the same band about a year ago and there were no seats on the floor and it was packed.

I've managed to sit in chairs in the upstairs center for a couple of shows by getting there early and being with someone who didn't want to be on the floor. The upper section on the left side of the upstairs section in the pic is reserved for the Foundation Room members with a waitress taking drink orders (I've seen a couple of shows from there with friends who are members... but usually just joined the rabble on the floor by the middle of the show because we have more fun that way). The lower-level left seated section is also reserved for VIPs and Foundation room members, I believe.

No seats where?

Those seats on the sides are not in New Orleans. I think they just have stools along the balcony.

There are several rows of balcony tickets available for multiple shows, left, center and right balcony.

The below photo is a random show. I looked at several others and they were the same:

There is an area on the bottom with some tables though.

Any idea how to get access to these?

I believe you, I'm just confused where I would be sitting on the 9th row of the left balcony, if there is no seating there.

So the ninth row on the left in the balcony would be a spot on the bench at the top, the second row of benches... at least you could lean back against the railing.
