Best Value Tickets
For the most affordable options with good visibility, consider seats in the Balcony Center (Section=BALC CTR), Row Y at $258, or Balcony Left/Right (Sections=BALC LEFT & RIGHT), Row Y at $247. These sections offer a balance of good sightlines and price, providing excellent value for the experience without the premium cost of closer tiers.
Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)
The Balcony sections (Section=BALC) with Rows Y and T, priced between $119 and $164, present a sweet spot—these seats are in the balcony area with clear views and are more accessible price-wise. Specifically, Section=BALC Y at $144 and Row T at $149 offer great vantage points with decent availability.
Higher Tier Options (Not the Best Deals)
Premium locations include the Mezzanine (Sections=MEZZ, Rows=N to P) and Orchestra (Sections=ORCH, Rows=AA to HH), with prices ranging from $150 to over $700. Notably, Orchestra Rows AA and BB are closer to the stage but at significantly higher prices ($751 and $701 respectively). Higher tiers offer closer proximity but at a premium, often with limited availability.
Premium or Last-Minute Tickets
For an upgraded experience, options in the Orchestra L and AA rows (Section=ORCHL, Rows=AA and GG, priced at $175 and $150 respectively) provide excellent views from the front or front balcony areas. Last-minute premium tickets may also be found in the Orchestra Center (Section=ORCHLC) Rows=BB and HH, priced around $170–$300, offering close sightlines with swift access to the stage.
Seating Differences & Views
Seats in the BALC sections (Rows Y and T) generally provide an elevated view with a broad perspective of the stage, ideal for enjoying the full set and performers. The Mezzanine (Rows N–P) offers a semi-elevated vantage point with good stage visibility, suitable for those wanting a balance between price and view. Orchestra seats (Rows AA–HH) deliver the closest perspective, with the front rows (AA, BB) offering an immersive experience but at a higher cost. Notably, seats in the middle sections (e.g., ORCHLC Row=L at $300) provide a more central view, while side sections (BALC LEFT/RIGHT) and Balcony Y are slightly offset but still offer excellent sightlines.
