Some here have definitely been there more than myself but I sell ticket and travel all over the country to see artists at different venues. From that standpoint I have a unique perspective.
Ive sat on the floor and the balcony for shows at Hoyt and find the first few rows of the Center Balcony to be the most desirable. In smaller, theatre style venues like Hoyt he best acoustics are often found in the balcony level. This has to do with the relatively modest loft of the ceilings and the speaker positioning relative to the ceiling/and the fan. The pictures above don't do it justice but the speakers are almost pointing right at the lower balcony. You are also close enough to have a great view of the stage and artist. The Ryman, Uptown (KC), and Hoyt are all great examples of smaller theatres that have better sound in the lower balcony. Also, if you look at the ticket price points, you often get cheaper tickets, and hence better value for those seats.
Now Hoyt is small enough to where, like others said, there really isn't a bad seat in the house. But if I had my preference of any seat I'd probably choose Row A Center Balcs. My number ONE priority for a concert is sound, then value, then sightlines. For arenas I often think side stage are the BEST seats in the house even though the adjacent 2 sections usually sell/resell for higher prices. You are closer to the stage, have a great vantage point, and are right next to the speaker columns (great sound). And, like the Balcs, tickets are usually a little less.
Hope this helps.
