just get a seat as a start. the experience of listening from a "bad" seat is worth a lot more than always having the "best" seat. also good and bad is so subjective.

你的問題，曾先生也不知道。他只説不易找。

eds60,
Thank you for asking the question. It seems no clear answer as to whether the scores are available for purchase.
*I note from the scores you provide there are two pianoforte. So I do not need to check in June. Even if there is only one in the performance, someone has decided to skip the other.  
*I am surprised the scores in the photo are so thin and I note perhaps they relate to the last part O Fortuna. The complete scores are much larger and bulkier.

我在書店睇過幾頁這本書。作者提議坐樓上 Balcony, 因聲音向上傳。

不過坐邊都冇所謂，起碼要入場感受下大合唱。

In this case, when you sit in the front, you are able to listen clearly to the singers, how they make use of their diaphragm and to positioning of their mouths in the soundstage-- small in size with a splashing sound all the way to rows of the audience in the hall. You will also note the sound of the triangle and cymbals piercing above your head through the ambience of the hall that one is unable to get from a recording via even a top end audio system.
*It is really a matter of personal preference. I do not mind the sound coming from the space above me and I prefer it to the sound coming from below. Say listening to a recording at home. I prefer the sound coming from eye level all the way up the ceiling instead of a sound coming from the neighbour down below via the floor, reaching only nose level behind the speakers. This is the soundstage difference between sitting in front and at the back or up the balcony in a concert.
If it is a concerto, a frontal seat enables me to "see" the fingering of the violinist/guitarist, the scraping sound of the bow on strings and the foot work of the pianist. I won't even get these if I sit in the 6th or 8th row.

I mentioned I am at odds with most audiophiles.
For a concerto or singer(s) with an orchestra, they want all the details as if they stand at the apron of the stage but as to the orchestra, they want it pushed to the back wall behind the speakers in the name of separation and soundstage depth. A contradiction that does not exist in real life; and they mix up distance from listening seat to soundstage and the depth of soundstage itself. A renowned audiophile mentioned instruments from his system coming from 40 ft depth of stage and that was quoted by many. To me it only showed the audiophile having no idea of a real concert.

Understand your concern, it is good especially you know well in playing instrument or are a vocalist.  At least I understand how it would like sitting in the front seats!

Of course, it has to be tried out & experienced.

Haha, my gears are not good enough to hear something 40ft back, but I can figure which is front, which is back comparatively!

That is why I start go to listen live music in concert hall.

MU fans,
Prior to the Carmina Burana concert in June, there are other ones worthy of your consideration during the intervening months:

On 5th Feb José Carreras one of the “3 tenors” is giving a farewell concert. He is now way below his prime and only his fans or those wanting to be seen or talk about presence in the concert in future will buy the expensive tickets.
Instead I bought the ticket for Sumi Jo (曹秀美) singing Maria Callas songs at about 1/4 of the José prices.

At the end of March, if you like piano concerto you may consider Beethoven’s Emperor concerto .

On 14th April there will be Brahms Symphony 1. Those who have bought the DG direct to disc set should attend and compare live performance with recording for checking out its sound. The concert will also feature 寧峰 playing Bartók. He is a really good violinist. I heard him during two years’ Chamber Music Festival, more or less during his debut years. He has now risen to fame and plays a sponsored Stradivarius.

On 22nd April, there will be Mahler 6th “Tragic” Symphony. A grand piece of work.

After the Carmina Burana, also in June, there will be Schubert’s “Great” Symphony.

So many concerts on the plate for consideration.
