Excalibur Arena | Tournament of Kings Seating Guide – Best Views & Value

Expert Recommendations for Tournament of Kings Tickets at Excalibur

The Excalibur Arena's unique theater-in-the-round setup for Tournament of Kings offers immersive medieval jousting action from all angles. Below are my expert picks for the best value seats, premium sections, and strategic choices based on your budget and viewing preferences.

Best Value Tickets ($135-$140)

• HUNGARY Row C ($135) - Excellent mid-section viewing with 11 tickets available. Slightly elevated for better sightlines over standing performers.
• FRANCE Row B ($135-$138) - Front-mid section with great knight-facing views during France's segments. Multiple quantity available.
• IRELAND/NORWAY Row A ($137-$140) - True front row experience at entry-level prices. Closest to the action with some splash zone potential.

Sweet Spot Seats ($140-$148)

• SPAIN Row PCE ($140) - Premium center section with throne views. Only 3 available at this price.
• DRAGON/ROMANIA Row A ($142-$145) - Central sections with optimal viewing angles for the main jousting sequences.
• AUSTRIA Row A ($140-$142) - Side section but front row benefits. Particularly good for Austria's featured moments.

Higher Tier Options ($149-$160)

• Rows D-E in any section ($148-$153) - Elevated views show more of the arena patterns. Best for spectators who prefer seeing the full choreography.
• SPAIN Row A ($153-$157) - Directly faces the royal box. Ideal for guests who want to see the king's reactions clearly.
• DRAGON/ROMANIA Rows B-C ($151-$160) - Dead-center sections with perfect sightlines to all combat areas.

Premium & Last-Minute Picks ($173+)

• ROMANIA Row E ($173) - Back row but centered. Surprisingly good overview of all action with minimal obstructions.
• SPAIN Row D ($187) - Elevated VIP-style seating with drink service access. Only 6 remaining.
• Front Row Splurge ($191-$200) - NORWAY/FRANCE/ROMA front rows for ultimate immersion (prepare for possible horse splashes!).

Viewing Differences by Section

• Country Sections (IREL/NORW/FRAN/etc): Best when "your" country is featured in the show - knights will face you directly during their segments
• DRAGON/ROMANIA: Central sections with balanced views of all action - least biased toward any single country
• Rows A-C: Feel the horses thunder by but may miss some floor patterns
• Rows D-E: Better for seeing the full choreography but less immersive

Pro Tips

• Arrive 30+ minutes early - seating is first-come within your section
• Rows are tiered but not steeply - taller guests should opt for higher rows
• Children do better in elevated seats (Rows C-E) where they can see over standing performers
• For best photos, choose odd-numbered seats (closer to aisle crossings)

Current Best Availability

As of now, the FRANCE Row B ($135) and HUNGARY Row C ($135) offer the best combination of price, view, and ticket availability. For those wanting center sections, the DRAGON Row A ($145) tickets are unusually well-priced for their prime location.
