- Side vs Center: Side sections (GG/JJ) offer 20-30% savings with only slight perspective compromise

Special Recommendation for "The Firebird"
For Stravinsky's dynamic work, we recommend 2nd Tier DD-FF (Rows G-J, $106-131) - the elevation lets you hear the full contrast between delicate woodwind passages and explosive percussion sections. Avoid extreme side sections (AA/MM) for this repertoire.
