Cirque du Soleil - Echo Specific Notes

This production emphasizes vertical space utilization - higher sections (200-level) actually provide better visibility for the drone sequences and high-wire acts. The $99 tickets in Section 205 Row K surprisingly offer superior views of the climactic aerial pyramid formation compared to some closer but more steeply-angled seats.

Final Tip

Cirque shows use the entire performance space - there are no truly "bad" seats at Grand Chapiteau. The $99-$125 range in center 200-level sections delivers 90% of the VIP experience at half the price.
