In a Sherlock Holmes story a man found dead has two
"dress circle tickets" in his pocket.

Stalls = Ground floor, Dress Circle = First balcony
Uppers = Second balcony

The second balcony is frequently called "the gods" where I come from!

Or peanut gallery in small old movie theaters. I remember having read that many small movie theaters made greater
profit on popcorn and peanuts than they did on the sale of tickets.

And if you sat right behind the railing you could throw the shells over.
