Criss Angel Theater Seating Guide – Best Views & Ticket Deals at Planet Hollywood

Expert Recommendations for Criss Angel Mindfreak Tickets

The Criss Angel Theater at Planet Hollywood features an intimate 1,400-seat venue with excellent sightlines throughout. Based on current availability and pricing, here's our breakdown of the best seating options for different budgets and preferences.

Best Value Tickets ($129-$158)

• Front Balcony (Sections 301-305, Rows A-C): Surprisingly good elevated views directly facing the stage. Row A is only 4 steps up from orchestra level.
• Side Orchestra (Sections 201-203, Rows L-N): Slightly angled but unobstructed. Best for those who want orchestra proximity at balcony prices.
• Tip: Section 305 Row A ($129) offers dead-center views - the steal of the show at this price point.

Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price, $158-$207)

• Mid-Balcony (Sections 301-305, Rows D-E): Still excellent sightlines with more availability. Avoid extreme sides in 301/305.
• Front Side Orchestra (Sections 201-203, Rows F-K): Closer to magic illusions but at steeper angles. Row F is first row after VIP sections.
• Best Pick: Section 203 Row F ($201) - front row of price tier with minimal angle.

Higher Tier Options ($207-$253)

• Center Orchestra (Sections 101-103, Rows B-E): Prime views but partial obstruction from stage equipment in some seats.
• Front Side (Sections 201-203, Rows A-C): Very close but extreme angles may miss some illusions.
• Note: Section 101 Row C ($207) is center orchestra but check for equipment sightlines.

Premium & Last-Minute Seats ($253+)

• VIP Center (Sections 101-103, Rows A-B): Unmatched proximity but premium pricing. Row A may be too close for some illusions.
• Front Corners (Sections 102/202 Rows A-B): Exclusive feel but severe angles. Only for fans wanting "up close" experience.
• Warning: Some $253+ seats in 200-level don't offer better views than $158 options.

View Comparison

• Balcony vs Orchestra: Balcony provides better perspective for aerial illusions while orchestra excels for close-up magic.
• Angle Matters: Beyond 15° from center (Sections 201/203), some effects lose impact.
• Row Depth: In orchestra, Rows F-J often offer the best balance of proximity and full-stage visibility.

Current Best Deals

• 4 tickets in Section 305 Row A @ $129 (Center balcony front row)
• 5 tickets in Section 302 Row A @ $130 (Near-center balcony)
• 12 tickets in Section 202 Row N @ $133 (Orchester side, minimal angle)

Pro Tips

• For groups: Multiple 4-5 ticket blocks available in 300-level center
• Waitlist often opens 48hrs before showtime for discounted VIP returns
• Avoid far side seats if you want the full "Mindfreak" experience
