What was the seating like in the globe theatre?

What was the seating like in the globe theatre?
There were 3 levels of seating. the upper gallery, the middle gallery and the lower gallery. In each gallery there were different sections you could sit in. Depending where you sat, you might pay more or less. Before the stage at the bottom of the hoof shaped galleries, there was a section for people to stand in. This was considered the place were peasants and such went. Balconies were used for the musicians and sometimes scenes like the famous Romeo and Juliet balcony scene.
