Criss Angel Theater Seating Guide – Best Views & Value

Expert Recommendations for Criss Angel "Mindfreak" at Planet Hollywood

The Criss Angel Theater features a unique 360-degree staging with aerial illusions and close-up magic. This guide helps you choose between balcony (300-level), mezzanine (200-level), and orchestra (100-level) seats based on your budget and preferred experience.

💰 Best Value Tickets ($130-$143)

• Front Balcony (Sections 301-305, Rows A-C): Excellent elevated views of aerial acts at lowest prices. Sections 302/304 offer best center sightlines.
• Mezzanine Rear (Sections 201-203, Rows L-N): Good angled views of stage illusions. Row M in Section 202 is particularly well-priced at $136.

🎯 Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price, $155-$180)

• Mid-Balcony (Rows D-E): Slightly further back but still clear views (Sections 301-305).
• Mezzanine Middle (Rows G-J): Better sightlines than rear mezzanine. Section 202 Row J at $178 is a standout.
• Orchestra Sides (Section 101 Row J): Occasionally dips to $156 - rare orchestra seats under $160.

✨ Higher Tier Options ($200-$250)

• Orchestra Center Rear (Sections 102-103 Rows B-G): Premium views of stage magic. Section 102 Row E at $222 is excellent value in this category.
• Mezzanine Front (Rows A-F): Closer to flying illusions. Section 203 Row F at $202 balances price and proximity.

💎 Premium/VIP Seats ($270+)

• Orchestra Front Center (Rows A-C): Best for close-up magic (Sections 101-103). Section 102 Row A commands $330+ but offers unparalleled immersion.
• Mezzanine Front Row (Section 202 Row A): At $296+, these are the closest mezzanine seats with perfect downward sightlines for levitation effects.

🔍 View Considerations

• Balcony (300-level): Best for aerial illusions but furthest from stage magic. Front rows (A-C) prevent overhang obstruction.
• Mezzanine (200-level): Ideal balance for seeing both stage and aerial acts. Center sections (202) provide the most versatile views.
• Orchestra (100-level): Superior for close-up magic but may require neck craning for aerial performances. Avoid extreme sides in Sections 101/103.

⏳ Last-Minute Deal Strategy

Check for price drops in Mezzanine Rows G-K (Sections 201-203) which often see 10-15% reductions within 48 hours of showtime. The theater rarely sells out completely.

📊 Current Best Picks

• Budget Choice: Section 302 Row A ($130) - front balcony center
• Value Play: Section 202 Row M ($136) - mezzanine mid-section
• Premium Experience: Section 102 Row E ($222) - orchestra center
• VIP Splurge: Section 102 Row A ($330) - Criss Angel's eye line

ℹ️ Pro Tip

The theater's circular design means there are no truly bad seats, but for the signature "Mindfreak" levitation, center mezzanine (Section 202) provides the most dramatic perspective of the illusions.
