Best Value Tickets (Under $30)

Sweet Spot Seating ($30-$50)

• Sections 401-406 (View Level Infield): Rows A-B at $27-$33. Closer to the front of the upper deck with less row traffic and better sightlines to the scoreboard.
• Field Box 136: Row KK at $42. Excellent lower-level value near the outfield with good foul ball opportunities.
• Sections 520-525 (Upper Outfield): Rows B-C at $29-$34. Perfect for home run chasers with great views of the riverboat home run feature.

Higher Tier Options ($50-$100)

• Sections 414-419 (Mezzanine): Rows A-E at $37-$57. The perfect middle-ground - elevated enough for game strategy views but close enough to see player details.

Premium & Last-Minute Seats ($100+)

View Comparison

• Upper Deck (400s): Best for tracking defensive shifts and seeing the entire Cincinnati skyline. Avoid rows beyond Q for steepness.
• Mezzanine (400s front rows): Ideal balance - can see the ball break without being too distant.
• Field Box (100s): Best for experiencing player speed and hearing on-field chatter. Sections 101-107 provide classic baseball views.
• Outfield (140s): Perfect for home run chasers with great views of the riverboat home run feature.

Pro Tips

• For day games, sit on the 3rd base side (Sections 127-134) to avoid sun in your eyes.
• Sections 420-429 offer great value in the upper deck with surprisingly good sightlines.
• Check the "Central Riverfront Garage" ticket options if you need parking - often cheaper bundled.
