• SEC E/B ($108-$114): Front right section with higher chance of audience interaction (Blue Men often use right aisle).
• SEC B/E ($108): Side orchestra close enough to see facial expressions but still taking in the full spectacle.

Higher Tier Options ($130-$139)

• SEC AA/BB-EE ($131-$139): Premium front rows where you'll feel immersed in the action (poncho recommended!).
• SEC C/B ($131-$137): Front left orchestra - excellent for seeing paint drum details up close.
• SEC E/A ($113-$114): First row right section - highest interaction potential but slightly angled view.

Premium/Last-Minute Picks ($150+)
