Criss Angel Theater Seating Guide – Best Views & Value

Expert Tips for Choosing the Perfect Criss Angel "Mindfreak" Tickets

The Criss Angel Theater at Planet Hollywood offers an intimate 1,300-seat venue designed specifically for mind-blowing illusions. This guide breaks down every seating tier with view analysis and price comparisons to help you experience the magic without overpaying.

Best Value Tickets ($129-$158)

• Front Balcony (Sections 301-305, Rows A-C): Surprisingly good sightlines directly facing the stage. Row A balcony seats (like 302-A at $129) offer unobstructed views of aerial acts.
• Mid Orchestra (Sections 201-203, Rows L-M): 203-L ($129) provides centered views at ¾ height - ideal for catching stage illusions and overhead effects.

Sweet Spot Seating ($158-$180)

• Orchestra Front (Sections 101-103, Rows J-K): 101-J ($156) puts you close enough to spot sleight-of-hand tricks while maintaining full-stage perspective.
• Side Orchestra (Sections 202-203, Rows G-J): 202-G ($178) angled views actually enhance certain disappearing acts. Avoid extreme sides beyond Section 204.

Higher Tier Options ($207-$253)

• Premium Orchestra (Sections 101-103, Rows A-D): 101-B ($208) offers Criss' eye-level perspective - you'll feel part of the act when he enters the audience.
• Center Orchestra (Sections 102, Rows B-E): 102-C ($225) is the geometric sweet spot for appreciating full-stage illusions like the "Water Torture" act.

Premium/VIP Seating ($270+)

• Front Row Center (Section 102-A): At $330+, you're in the "vanishing zone" - Criss frequently interacts with these seats for card tricks and mind-reading.
• Stage Adjacent (Section 202-A): $297 seats put you inches from where apparitions materialize - bring sunglasses for flash powder effects.

View Considerations

• Balcony vs Orchestra: Upper sections better for large-scale illusions, lower seats excel for close-up magic.
• Avoid: Rows E-F in 300-level (partial overhang), far side sections (sightline issues for certain acts).
• Best for Groups: 203-L ($129) blocks of 5+ seats still available with excellent communal viewing angles.

Pro Tips

• Wednesday shows often have $20-30 price drops in premium sections.
• Arrive early - Criss performs impromptu lobby magic for front 10 rows.
• Check the theater's Instagram @crissangeltheater for daily seat view photos.
