Best Value Tickets
Affordable options offering good views with decent availability. The upper sections in YZ and AB zones provide a balanced mix of price and perspective, typically from Rows 17-23, offering a solid view of the stage without the premium cost.
Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)
Sections UPPER AB and UPPER YZ, especially Rows 18-22, offer a great combination of view, proximity, and cost. These seats are close enough for a lively experience but still represent good value, with prices around $66-$70.
Higher Tier Options (Not the best deals)
Sections closer to the stage like LOWER A (Rows 6-14) and some seats in the Lower BC and XY zones provide better views but at higher prices ($75-$125). These seats are ideal for a more immersive experience but come at a premium.
Premium or Last-Minute
Premium options include sections like LOWER PQ (Rows 1-6, prices $180-$297) and PIT STANDING (Row GA, prices $131-$283). Last-minute deals or VIP packages offer exclusive access, such as Diamond Fan, Gold Fan, and VIP packages from $276 to over $900, providing optimal stage views and amenities.
Differences in Rows & Sections & Views
Seats in Rows 17-23 in the Upper YZ and AB sections offer good elevation for visibility, avoiding the back of the upper tier while still being affordable. Sections Lower A and BC provide closer proximity with direct sightlines, ideal for an intimate stage view. The stage is elevated, so seats in the lower sections (Rows 1-10) provide a more direct perspective, whereas upper sections (Rows 17+) are more elevated for a broader view. The PIT and PIT STANDING areas are very close to the stage, offering the most immersive experience but at a significantly higher cost and limited availability.
