Best Value Tickets
Sections in the Balcony and Parterre Center offer the most affordable prices at $64 and $69 respectively, with good views of the stage from elevated and central positions. Rows P, R, and N in Balcony C and Balcony R provide a balanced view with clear sightlines to the orchestra and stage, making these options ideal for value-conscious attendees seeking decent perspectives without stretching the budget.
Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)
Seats in Balcony LC (Row M, $64) and Parterre Right (Row R, $69) are excellent choices for a combination of good sightlines and availability. These sections are close enough to the stage for an immersive experience but still offer comfortable viewing angles, making them a popular choice for many concertgoers.
Higher Tier Options (Not the Best Deals)
Mid-tier sections such as Mezzanine LC (Row H, $85) and Parterre Center (Rows T and U, $85-$116) offer elevated views with a broader perspective of the entire stage. These seats are ideal for those seeking a more comprehensive view of the performance, though at higher prices and limited availability compared to the Balcony and Parterre seats.
Premium or Last-Minute
Premium options include Grand Tier (Rows A-D, $147) and Orchestra Chairs (Rows C-D, $147), providing front-row, unobstructed views of the stage for an optimal experience. These seats are perfect for last-minute upgrades or special occasions, offering the closest proximity to the performers and a luxurious viewing experience.
Section & View Highlights & Differences
- Balcony Sections (P, R, S, L): Elevated views with good sightlines, ideal for a broad perspective of the stage and orchestra, generally more affordable.
- Parterre Center & Right (Rows T, U, R): Closer to stage, offering direct sightlines with a more intimate experience, priced higher but with excellent views.
- Mezzanine (Rows E-G, H): Elevated but central, providing a balanced view of the entire stage, at mid-range prices.
- Grand Tier (Rows A-D): Premium, front-row seats with unobstructed, close-up views of the performers, ideal for an immersive experience but at a higher cost.
- Balcony Chairs & Sections (Z, X): Higher rows with more distance, best for budget-conscious attendees willing to sacrifice proximity for savings.
Additional Recommendations
Seats in sections with rows closer to the stage (like Rows A-D in Grand Tier or D in Orchestra) provide the most direct and immersive viewing experience. For a balance of view, price, and availability, sections in Balcony C and Parterre R are strongly recommended. Sections with higher rows or distant sections offer more economical options but with a more distant perspective of the stage.
