Below you'll find categorized recommendations based on current availability and pricing data.

Best Value Tickets ($124-$140)

• Note: Rows marked "Q" are elevated slightly for better sightlines over front rows.

Sweet Spot Seats ($162-$184)

• Best Pick: Section 2, Row 5J ($177) - Perfect balance of price and view for the signature "flying" illusion.

Higher Tier Options ($193-$235)

• Section 1, Rows A-G: Closest orchestra seats with some at $193 being surprising values.
• Premium View: Section 1, Row 1E ($190) - Front-and-center at less than VIP prices.
• Warning: First 3 rows may require looking up during certain illusions.

Premium/VIP Seats ($260-$374)

Viewing Recommendations

• For Budget-Conscious: Section 2, Row 1Q ($124) offers astonishing value just 5 rows from stage.

• For Participation Chances: Section 1, Rows 2B-3A or center Section 2 seats in first 10 rows.
• To Avoid: Far side Section 2 seats beyond Row 10J may have obstructed views of some effects.

Seating Chart Insights

The theater features two main sections: Section 1 (orchestra level) and Section 2 (elevated seating). While Section 1 feels more immersive, many Section 2 seats actually provide better overall views of the illusions. The "Q" and "R" rows in Section 2 are specially designed with stadium-style elevation.

Current Best Deals

• 4 tickets in Section 2 Row 1Q at $124 each (rare front-row pricing)
• 2 tickets in Section 1 Row 6D at $216 (center orchestra at 20% below average)
• 4 tickets in Section 2 Row 5J at $184 (ideal elevated center view)

Final Tip

David's show involves frequent audience movement - consider aisle seats (marked with letters A/D/G/J etc.) if you prefer easier access. For the full magical experience without breaking the bank, we recommend the $133-$140 range in center Section 2 as the true sweet spot.
