David Copperfield Theater at MGM Grand Seating Guide – Best Views & Value

Expert Recommendations for David Copperfield Show Tickets

The David Copperfield Theater at MGM Grand offers an intimate 740-seat venue where every seat provides a great view of the legendary magician's illusions. Below is our breakdown of the best seating options based on value, sightlines, and proximity to the stage.

Best Value Tickets ($123-$143)

• Section 2, Rows 1Q/S/3Q-6R: Excellent mid-range priced seats with direct frontal views. Rows 1Q and S are particularly valuable as they're just behind premium sections.
• Section 1, Row 17H: Rear center section seating at value prices with perfect elevation for catching all stage illusions.

Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price, $162-$180)

• Section 2, Rows 4R/7J/10J: Angled seating with excellent sightlines to Copperfield's signature disappearing acts. Minimal price jump for significantly better views than rear sections.
• Section 1, Rows 3H-8H: Center section seating with perfect elevation - high enough to see trap doors but close enough for audience participation opportunities.

Higher Tier Options ($191-$235)

• Section 1, Rows 1E-12F: Closer center sections with premium views of sleight-of-hand details. Rows E-F offer the best balance between proximity and full-stage visibility.
• Section 2, Rows 1N/12K: Front row of side sections with unobstructed diagonal views - ideal for catching illusions designed for side audience members.

Premium Seating ($260-$387)

• Section 1, Rows A-D: True front-row experience where you might be called on stage. Rows 2B-3A are "vanishing point" seats for signature illusions.
• Section 1, Row G: Center aisle seats in the magic "hot zone" where most audience participation occurs.

Viewing Recommendations

• For Full-Illusion Perspective: Choose center Section 1, rows H-K or Section 2 rows Q-S - elevated enough to see the "big picture" of large-scale illusions.
• For Close-Up Magic: Section 1 rows A-G provide the best views of Copperfield's legendary sleight-of-hand work.
• Budget-Conscious Pick: Section 2 row 1Q offers remarkable value at $123 with only slightly angled views.
• Group Seating: Multiple tickets available together in Section 2 rows S (4-8 seats) and Section 1 rows 6D (8 seats).

Seating Chart Insights

• The theater features a steep rake, meaning even rear seats have unobstructed views.
• Side sections (Section 2) are angled no more than 45 degrees - all illusions are designed to work from these perspectives.
• Front row center seats may require looking up slightly during certain illusions.

Pro Tips

• Arrive early - David often performs pre-show magic in the aisles.
• Avoid extreme far side seats if you want to be considered for audience participation.
• Check for last-minute deals on premium seats (Rows A-D) which sometimes drop below $300.
