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

Expert Recommendations for Tournament of Kings at Excalibur Hotel & Casino

The Excalibur Arena's unique theater-in-the-round configuration offers immersive views from all angles for this medieval dinner show. Below are my expert picks for every budget, with insights on section advantages and viewing experiences.

Best Value Tickets (Under $140)

• NORW A ($135): Front-row Norway section - exceptional knight combat views with minimal price premium
• HUNG C ($135): Mid-tier Hungary seating - perfect balance between price and viewing elevation
• IREL A ($135): Ireland front row - direct sightlines to jousting entrance
• FRAN B ($135): France 2nd row - avoids potential splash zone while maintaining intimacy

Sweet Spot (Best Availability & Quality)

• SPAI PCE ($140): Spain premium center - elevated view of all action with quick service access
• AUST A ($140): Austria front row - faces primary throne area for coronation scenes
• IRELAND A ($138): Official Ireland section - identical view to IREL A at slight premium

View Comparison by Section

• Front Rows (A): Feel tournament vibrations but may crane neck during aerial acts
• Mid Rows (B-C): Ideal vertical sightlines - see all ground and elevated action
• Back Rows (D-E): Best for full-stage perspective but furthest from intimate moments
• Dragon Sections: Closest to pyrotechnic effects (rows B-C optimal for safety/experience balance)

Premium Recommendations

• DRAG B ($145): Dragon-side premium - closest to fire effects without obstructed views
• ROMANIA A ($145): Directly faces main royal procession entrance
• SPAIN A ($144): Adjacent to serving corridors for fastest dinner service

Last-Minute Options

• FRAN E ($164): France back row - often releases last-minute inventory
• SPAIN D ($187): Highest available seats with guaranteed full-stage visibility

Pro Tips

• Rows B-C generally offer the best vertical sightlines for both ground jousting and aerial performances
• Dragon sections (DRAG) experience more intense heat/smell from effects - avoid if sensitive
• France/Hungary sections have best views of the royal court scenes
• Arrive 45+ minutes early for best dinner service timing regardless of section

Final Recommendation

For first-time attendees, the HUNG C ($135) or FRAN B ($135) tickets offer the ideal balance of price, view quality, and immersive experience. Seasoned visitors should consider DRAG B ($145) for more intense effects or SPAI PCE ($140) for comfortable elevated viewing.
