Best Value Tickets ($124-$140)

• Section 2, Row 1Q ($124): Front-center balcony with direct sightlines - best budget option (only 4 left)
• Section 2, Row S ($124-$140): Side balcony with good angles to see illusions (13 available)
• Section 2, Rows 3Q-6Q ($138-$144): Mid-balcony center sections - pay $10 more for better elevation

Sweet Spot Seats ($138-$182)

• Section 2, Rows J-M ($180-$182): Front balcony with perfect illusion sightlines
• Section 1, Rows 3H-8H ($179-$186): Mid-orchestra side sections - closer but slightly angled

Higher Tier Options ($195-$260)

• Section 1, Rows A-F ($195-$260): Premium orchestra center - best for Copperfield's audience participation
• Section 1, Rows G ($195-$271): Front orchestra sides - great for seeing details

Premium/VIP Seats ($343-$387)

• Section 1, Rows A-B ($343-$387): First 7 rows center - Copperfield frequently interacts here
• Section 1, Row 4A ($260): Single VIP seat remaining - immediate aisle access

Key View Differences

• Orchestra Center (Section 1): Best for seeing illusions head-on and potential participation
• Balcony Center (Section 2): Reveals the "big picture" of complex illusions
• Side Sections: Offer unique angles but may miss some frontal effects
• Rows A-H: See facial expressions and small props clearly
• Rows J-Q: Better for appreciating large-scale illusions

Expert Recommendations

• Budget-Conscious: Section 2 Row 1Q ($124) - unbeatable value for center view
• Best Overall: Section 2 Rows J-M ($180-$182) - perfect balance of price and perspective
• VIP Experience: Section 1 Row 7A ($349) - center 7th row with high participation chance
• Group Tickets: Section 2 Row S has 13 together ($124 each) - great for parties

Pro Tips

The theater's steep rake means even balcony seats have clear views. For Copperfield's show, center sections (even further back) often provide better overall experiences than closer side seats. The magic happens both on stage and in the air - consider spending slightly more for elevated center views.
