With a fixed propellant mass a number of staged configurations (1 4) are derived for an optimal configuration but then moving to an off-optimal configuration due to the requirement for a high final science payload mass.
In most cases, there is no significant cost difference between the two and three staged optimum configurations and the choice of a configuration may depend on engineering assessment.
Mr. Freeman added that more tickets are often released after the initial sale date once the stage configuration is known.
Other halls have a center stage configuration, namely the acclaimed new Walt Disney Concert Hall, home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and auditoriums in Berlin and Cologne.
