Viewing Tips by Section

• 100-Level: Best for appreciating costumes/details but may require more neck movement for aerial acts.
• 200-Level Center (Sections 203-205): Ideal panoramic views of all performance zones.
• 200-Level Sides (Sections 201-202, 206): Slight angle distortion but often better priced.
• Front Rows: May have occasional obstructed views when performers are at opposite ends.
• Back Rows: Surprisingly good for taking in the full spectacle with less head movement.

Our Top 3 Picks

1. Section 205 Row J ($83): Best overall value with perfect center-ring sightlines
2. Section 103 Row C ($136): Premium 100-level experience at mid-range price
3. Section 201 Row Q ($100): Excellent balance of price and viewing angle

Special Considerations

For Cirque du Soleil's "Echo," we recommend prioritizing vertical viewing angles over absolute proximity. The 200-level center sections often provide better overall visibility than floor seats for the aerial performances. Avoid extreme side sections beyond 201/206 if possible, as some staging effects are designed for frontal viewing.
