Best Value Tickets ($94-$97)

• SEC B/F & SEC D/F ($95) - Center-facing perspective at balcony level, perfect for seeing the full stage composition
• SEC A/E & SEC E/E ($97) - Closer versions of the F-row value seats with better paint-splatter visibility

Sweet Spot Seats ($109-$121)

• SEC A/C & SEC E/C ($109-$114) - Mid-orchestra with ideal elevation to appreciate the full kinetic stage
• SEC B/D & SEC D/D ($114) - Elevated center sections where all visual jokes land perfectly
• SEC E/B & SEC A/B ($120-$121) - Close enough for interaction without premium pricing

Higher Tier Options ($130-$158)

• AA/AA Premium ($129-$130) - "Poncho Zone" front rows where you'll feel part of the show
• SEC C/A-C ($134-$158) - True center orchestra with perfect sightlines to all instruments
• SEC AA/BB-CC ($132-$157) - Elevated VIP boxes with private space and drink rails

View Considerations

• Side Sections (A/E): Better for seeing the drum cam and paint effects up close
• Center Sections (B/C/D): Essential for appreciating the full group's synchronized movements
• Rows A-C: Higher chance of direct interaction and prop participation
• Rows D-F: Better for taking in the entire visual spectacle at once

Pro Tips

• The $94 SEC E/F tickets offer 90% of the experience at 60% of premium seat costs
• Balcony seats (SEC B/D) actually provide superior views of the overhead lighting effects
• Arrive early - the pre-show "museum" experience is best appreciated from lobby-side seats (Sections A/B)
• For groups: SEC E/C has multiple $109 tickets available together

Last-Minute Options

• SEC AA/AA ($209) - Ultimate VIP experience if budget allows
• SEC C/A ($209) - Dead-center orchestra for perfectionists
