=====Seating areas=====
The auditorium has around 5,960 seats.{{sfn|Okrent|2003|p=217}} Around 3,500 of these seats are at the ground-level orchestra, while the remaining seats are distributed among the three mezzanines.{{sfn|Hofmeister|1932|p=355}}{{sfn|Landmarks Preservation Commission|1978|p=13}} The orchestra and mezzanine sections all contain reddish-brown plush seating throughout, as well as storage compartments under each seat, lights at the end of each row of seats, and more legroom space than in other theaters.{{sfn|Landmarks Preservation Commission|1978|p=13}} Six aisles extend the length of the orchestra level, dividing each row into sections of up to 14 seats. The aisles measure {{convert|6|ft|3|in}} wide at the rear, tapering to {{convert|5|ft|10|in}} at the center and {{convert|3|ft|4|in}} at the front.{{sfn|Hofmeister|1932|pp=357–358}} A crossover aisle separates the front one-third of the orchestra from the rear two-thirds. Each row of seats was originally placed {{convert|2|ft|10|in}} apart, giving more legroom than in contemporary theaters.{{sfn|Hofmeister|1932|p=358}}

{{Anchor|Mezzanines}} Radio City contains three mezzanines within the back wall of the auditorium,{{sfn|Landmarks Preservation Commission|1978|p=4}} as well as a main lounge in the basement.{{sfn|Landmarks Preservation Commission|1978|p=13}} Each of the mezzanines is shallow, and all three mezzanine levels are stacked on top of the rear orchestra.{{sfn|Landmarks Preservation Commission|1978|p=5}} Since the mezzanines are shallow, there is no need to have a crossover aisle, and only four aisles are provided.{{sfn|Hofmeister|1932|p=358}} Ramps on either side of the stage lead to the first mezzanine level, creating the impression of a stage encircling the orchestra.{{sfn|Landmarks Preservation Commission|1978|p=5}}{{sfn|Hofmeister|1932|p=357}}
