Cirque du Soleil at Canadian Tire Centre - Best Seats & Ticket Deals

Expert Guide to Choosing the Perfect Seats for Cirque du Soleil

Experience the magic of Cirque du Soleil's "Ovo" with our comprehensive seating guide for Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa. Below you'll find detailed recommendations for every budget, from value seats to premium experiences, along with important viewing considerations for this spectacular aerial production.

Best Value Tickets (Under $70)

• Sections 304-306, 324-326 (Rows C-F): $59-$68 - Excellent upper bowl options with surprisingly good sightlines to the central stage. These sections offer the best price-to-view ratio.
• Key Tip: Rows C in these sections (especially 304-306) provide clearer views over the heads in front of you compared to further back rows.
• Best Deal: Section 306, Row C at $59 - Centered view with minimal distortion from the angle.

Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)

• Sections 223-228 (Rows C-E): $71-$83 - Lower bowl options that bring you closer to the action while maintaining good sightlines to the aerial performances.
• Recommended: Section 225, Row C at $71 - Diagonal view that captures the full scope of Cirque's staging.
• Note: Avoid extreme side sections (201-203, 227-228) for Cirque as some aerial acts may be partially obscured.

Higher Tier Options (Not the best deals)

• Sections 101-120 (Rows H-M): $96-$143 - Club level seats offering more comfort but at a premium price. Best for those wanting shorter concession lines.
• Warning: Some rows (like J-M) in these sections may have slightly obstructed views of the highest aerial elements.

Premium or Last-Minute Options

• Floor Sections (FLR A-D): $142-$364 - Immersive experience but you'll need to look up constantly. Best rows are 2-3 for optimal viewing angles.
• Front Rows (Sections 101-120, Rows A-C): $169-$200 - Exceptional clarity but very pricey. Section 117 Row A offers the most centered view.
• Last Minute Tip: Check for price drops on Floor seats (FLR C Row 3 often has best value at $160-$169).

Viewing Recommendations

• Height Matters: For Cirque shows, slightly elevated seats (lower bowl or first rows of upper bowl) often provide better overall views than floor seats.
• Avoid Extreme Angles: Sections 201-203 and 227-228 may miss some of the aerial choreography.
• Group Note: Multiple tickets are available together in Sections 306 (8 tickets) and 324 (7-8 tickets) at value prices.

Price Alert Opportunities

Watch for potential price drops on these sections where inventory is high:

• Section 324 Row F (16 tickets available at $67)
• Section 306 Row D (16 tickets at $68)
• Section 224 Row C (16 tickets at $71)

Final Recommendation

For the best balance of price and view quality, we recommend:

• Budget Choice: Section 306 Row C at $59 - Centered upper bowl with clear sightlines
• Mid-Range: Section 225 Row C at $71 - Excellent lower bowl angle
• Premium Experience: Section 117 Row A at $193 - Unobstructed center view of all aerial elements
