KA Theatre at MGM Grand Seating Guide – Best Views & Value

Expert Recommendations for Cirque du Soleil's KA Show

As a vertical production with 360-degree staging, KA demands careful seat selection. This guide highlights the best value tickets, sweet spots, and premium options at the KA Theatre - with detailed notes on view obstructions, elevation advantages, and price-performance ratios.

Best Value Tickets (Under $160)

• Section 202 Row NN ($124): Rear center balcony with full stage visibility. Slight vertical angle enhances the aerial sequences. Best budget option.
• Section 201/203 Rows EE-FF ($147-158): Side balcony seats with good elevation. May miss some floor-level action but perfect for the aerial battles.
• Section 201/203 Rows JJ-LL ($151-158): Mid-balcony positions with balanced views of both vertical and horizontal staging.

Sweet Spot Tickets ($160-200)

• Section 101 Rows B-D ($193-197): Front mezzanine with direct sightlines to the rotating stage platform. Minimal head movement required.
• Section 103 Rows C-D ($193-197): Opposite the main stage lifts - optimal for viewing the 80-foot vertical battle sequences.
• Section 201/203 Rows BB-CC ($193-201): Front balcony seats with panoramic views. Slight neck craning may be needed for highest acrobatics.

Higher Tier Options ($200-300)

• Section 101 Rows G-M ($240-242): Center mezzanine with perfect elevation for the show's depth illusions. Avoid rows P-Q which may feel too high.
• Section 102 Rows A-C ($267-295): Premium orchestra seating. Row A may be too close for full vertical perspective - recommend rows B-C.
• Section 202 Rows AA-BB ($267-289): Box seats with luxurious legroom. Slight side angle actually enhances the 3D staging.

Premium/Last-Minute Options ($300+)

• Section 102 Rows G-J ($316-386): Dead-center orchestra with immersive views of both stage and aerial rigging. Best for technical enthusiasts.
• Section 202 Row AA ($541): VIP box seats with private cocktail service. Unmatched sightlines but significant price premium.

View Considerations

• Vertical Sightlines: Rows EE-LL in 200-level sections offer the best compromise for both floor and aerial action
• Stage Machinery: Sections 101/103 see more of the famous rotating platform mechanics
• Avoid: Extreme side seats in 200-level (may miss flying sequences) and front orchestra (neck strain from vertical elements)

Best All-Around Choices

• Budget Pick: Section 202 Row NN ($124) - 85% of the experience at 40% of VIP cost
• Value Sweet Spot: Section 101 Row D ($196) - Perfect mezzanine elevation
• Premium Experience: Section 102 Row G ($316) - Center orchestra magic

Pro Tip

The $147-158 tickets in Sections 201/203 Rows EE-GG often become available last-minute as production holds are released - set a price alert for these specific sections.
