Theatres Don’t Have Row ‘I’ Or ‘O’ In Seating Charts A Melb Redditor Got To The Bottom Of It

If you’re anything like me — a glasses-wearing girlie who spends all her waking hours staring at a screen — you’ll usually have a little trouble finding your seat number in the theatre. It’s dark, there’s a bunch of people moving around and you don’t want to hold anyone up by staring too intently at seat numbers in the aisle. It’s so awkward I’m cringing even thinking about it. If you’ve ever been confused by the lack of a row “I” or even “O” when searching for your seat in a crowded theatre, don’t worry. Your eyes aren’t deceiving you. It turns out theatres really do skip those letters, and the reason is actually pretty clever. Reddit user u/tapit shared their findings after attending a show at Melbourne’s Regent Theatre and noticing the lack of an “I” row of seats. They emailed the theatre and received a very friendly and informative reply.
