Fortress Concert Seating Question

Planning to see (concert only) at fortress. Wondering if the more expensive tickets really worth it. It's myself, hubby, 21 year old daughter, 22 year old son. We don't need to be in first rows but didn't know if worth getting the pricier tickets or not too much difference.
For anyone who has done, what say ye?!
thanks,
JOanne

More info needed! What fortress in what city…Austria has rather a surfeit of fortresses! What sort of concert? Symphonic, pop, folk music… that can make a difference.

So sorry. I thought I mentioned the spot. It's Mozart fortress hohensalzburg concert in Salzburg. Also, read on here that dress is "smart casual". Can khakis with collared shirt be worn with sneakers? My son is not a dress shoe guy and we are trying to pack the bare minimum.

There's only a €5-6 difference between the category A and B tickets. I'm not sure it makes much difference if you aren't in the first couple of rows. Google images will give you a good idea of what the layout looks like. I'm quite short, and even though we had category A seats, we were back a few rows, and I had to strain to see much of the musicians . But you're there for the music, after all. But I think I enjoyed the concert at Mirabel Palace more. Maybe it was the acoustics? Anyway, they were both enjoyable.

A collared shirt and khakis will be fine.
