Michael W. Smith at Hackensack Meridian Health Theatre

Best Value Tickets

The most accessible options are in the Balcony sections, where prices range from $161 to $274. Specifically, seats in BALCL Row L ($211) and Row M ($274) offer good balance between price and view, providing a solid experience without stretching your budget. These sections are closer to the stage than the rear balcony, offering a more immersive experience at a moderate cost.

Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)

The seats in sections BALC, Rows N and M ($295 and $274 respectively), and BALCL, Row F ($327), are considered the sweet spot — offering a combination of good proximity to the stage and reasonable prices. These seats typically provide clear sightlines of the stage, making them ideal for enjoying the performance without premium prices.

Higher Tier Options (Not the Best Deals)

Premium seats are located in the Orchestra sections, particularly Rows AA to D, with prices from $685 up to $1962. The best of these are the Orchestra Row D ($780) and Row E ($685), which are closer to the stage, offering excellent views and a more intimate experience, but at significantly higher costs. Rows near the back of the Orchestra (Rows P, T, W, Z) like Rows T ($337) and W ($316) are less expensive but still provide good views, albeit from a greater distance.

Premium or Last-Minute Options

Last-minute premium options include seats in the LOGER section, Rows A ($590) and B ($348), offering a high-quality viewing experience at a premium price. These seats are close to the stage with excellent sightlines, but prices vary significantly depending on proximity. For the ultimate VIP experience, seats in the Orchestra Row AA ($295) or the side sections LOGE, Row A ($485) and Row C ($348) offer premium views, though at a higher cost.

Section & View Highlights

• Rows G and M in BALC: Good balance of price and view, with Row G at $358 and Row M at $274. These seats are elevated, offering a clear view of the stage without the premium cost.
• Center Orchestra Rows D and E: Premium seats at $780 and $685 respectively, very close to the stage for an immersive experience.
• Side Orchestra Rows AA and BB: High-tier options at $295 and $242, providing excellent side-stage views and proximity.
• Balcony Sections (BALC, BALCL, BALCR): Prices from $161 to $327, with Rows L and F offering good sightlines and accessibility.
• Loge Sections (LOGE, LOGEL, LOGER): Range from $211 to $590, with Row A in LOGER providing a premium experience.

Differences in Sections & Views

• Balcony (BALC, BALCL, BALCR): Elevated, slightly further from stage, but still with clear sightlines. Rows closer to the front (L, F) offer better views.
• Loge (LOGE, LOGEL, LOGER): Mid-level sections with partial or full stage view, with Row A in LOGER offering the best vantage point.
• Orchestra (ORCH, ORCHL, ORCHR): Closest to the stage, offering the most intimate experience. Rows AA and B are the frontmost, providing unobstructed views, while seats towards the back (Rows P, T, W, Z) are farther but still offer stage visibility.

Recommendations

For an optimal balance of value and view, consider seats in BALC Row L ($211) or M ($274). If you desire a more immersive experience and are willing to invest more, Orchestra Rows D ($780) or E ($685) are ideal. Side sections like LOGE Row A ($485) or Orchestra Row AA ($295) also provide excellent views for a premium price. Rear balcony seats (BALC, Row Q at $168) are budget-friendly but offer a more distant perspective.
