Best Value Tickets (Under $200)

• Main Floor Rows DD-FF ($167-171): Excellent orchestra-level seating at the lowest price point. Rows DD-FF are just behind the premium sections but offer nearly identical sightlines.
• 6 East/6W Rows DD ($171-176): Side orchestra sections with minimal viewing angle compromise. Perfect for groups (4-10 tickets available).
• Main Floor Rows AA-CC ($191-194): Slightly closer than DD-FF at only $25-30 more. Rows BB-CC are particularly good for seeing facial expressions.

Sweet Spot (Best Balance of Price & View)

• 3E/3W Rows P-S ($204-241): Front mezzanine center sections. The elevated view from Row P-Q is considered ideal for appreciating Hamilton's choreography.
• 2E Row M ($225): Premium mezzanine seating at mid-range pricing. Direct center view with perfect vertical angle to see the entire stage.

Higher Tier Options (Closer Views)

• 2W Rows J-M ($268): Front side mezzanine - slightly angled but very close to the stage. Row J has just 6 rows in front of it.
• 1E/1W Rows F-G ($284-354): Front orchestra sides. Row F puts you just 7 rows from the stage at less than premium prices.

Premium & Last-Minute Options

• 1E Rows B-E ($348-477): The famous "Hamilton lottery" seats. Rows B-C are true front orchestra (4th-5th row) with unbeatable proximity.
• 2E Row K ($402): Center mezzanine front row - completely unobstructed with perfect sightlines to all stage levels.

View Comparison & Recommendations

• Orchestra vs Mezzanine: The mezzanine (especially 2E/3E) offers better views of the complex choreography, while orchestra provides intimacy with performers.
• Side Sections: 6E/6W have minimal compromise - the Civic Center's design keeps sightlines good up to 45-degree angles.
• Best for Groups: Main Floor DD (6 tickets) or 6E DD (10 tickets) offer the best group pricing without sacrificing view quality.
• Date Night Pick: 2E Row M ($225) - center mezzanine with perfect romantic-viewing angle.

Pro Tips for Hamilton in Des Moines

• The Civic Center's acoustics are excellent throughout - no "bad sound" seats exist
• Rows AA-DD avoid potential overhang from the mezzanine above
• For the full choreography experience, mezzanine center (Sections 2-3) is superior to orchestra
• Premium seats (Rows A-E) often release last-minute - check daily if you want front-row
