David Copperfield Theater at MGM Grand – Best Seats & Value Guide

Expert Tips for Choosing the Best David Copperfield Tickets

Seeing David Copperfield's legendary magic show at the MGM Grand is a bucket-list experience. Our seating guide helps you find the perfect balance of price and view quality in this intimate 740-seat theater. Below we've categorized all available tickets by value tier, with detailed notes about sightlines and special considerations for each section.

Best Value Tickets ($124-$140)

• Section 2, Rows S/1Q-6Q: Excellent mid-range orchestra seats with only 15-20 rows from stage. Rows S and 1Q offer particularly good value at $124-$132.
• View Quality: Slightly angled view but all magic effects remain fully visible. These often sell out first.
• Best Deal: Section 2, Row S at $124 (4 tickets available) - closest you can get at this price point.

Sweet Spot Seats ($162-$179)

• Section 1, Rows 1H-11H: Center orchestra with perfect head-on views. Rows 4H-8H ($177-$179) are the ideal middle ground.
• Section 2, Rows 1N-7N: Side orchestra closer to stage. Rows 1N-4N ($179) put you within 10 rows of the magician.
• Why These? Only 10-15% more than value tier but significantly better positioning for key illusions.

Higher Tier Options ($193-$235)

• Section 1, Rows A-G: Premium center orchestra (Rows 1E-5G at $193-235). Rows D-F ($214-235) are often used for audience participation.
• Section 2, Rows J-P: Closest side sections (Rows 1J-10P at $179-235). Excellent for seeing sleight-of-hand details.
• Consider: Rows 1A-7C ($214-260) offer VIP proximity but at 2x the price of value tickets.

Premium/Last-Minute Seats ($260-$387)

• Front Row Center: Rows 1A-3A ($342-387) - direct eye contact with Copperfield and possible participation.
• VIP Sections: Rows 6A-7B ($341-361) - center aisle seats with the clearest views of every illusion.
• Best Splurge: Row 7A ($342) - dead center, perfect elevation to catch all stage mechanics.

View Comparison by Section

• Section 1 (Center Orchestra): Unobstructed straight-on views. Higher rows (H-K) see full-stage illusions better.
• Section 2 (Side Orchestra): Slightly angled but closer to intimate close-up magic areas. Avoid extreme side seats past Row P.
• Front Rows (A-E): May require looking up slightly but unbeatable for feeling immersed in the magic.

Our Top Recommendations

• Budget-Conscious: Section 2, Row S ($124) - 12th row center-left
• Best Overall Value: Section 1, Row 7H ($177) - perfect center at 7th row
• Premium Experience: Section 1, Row 3D ($216) - close enough for participation without front-row neck strain
• Group Tickets (4+): Section 2, Rows 3Q-6Q ($133-140) - best group pricing in good sections

Special Notes

The theater's steep rake means even back rows have good sightlines. For the full experience of Copperfield's grand illusions (like the vanishing airplane), center sections further back (Rows H-K) often provide the best perspective. Side sections closer to the stage offer better views of his legendary close-up magic segments.
