Best Value Tickets (Great Views + Budget Friendly)

- Orch House Right - Rows N/Q ($91): Mirror of left side options. Row Q has 4 seats together - rare for family groups.
Higher Tier Options (Not the best deals)
- Orch FOH - Rows W/AA/A/B ($128-$129): Front-of-house center sections offer direct views but minimal legroom. Better for older children - consider Row W's slight elevation.
Premium or Last-Minute Considerations
- ORCH CENTER - Row S ($516): Prime center orchestra but extreme price premium. Only consider for special occasions.
- ORCH - Row L ($576): Closest center seats, but 3x price of comparable side sections. Best for VIP experiences.
View Differences & Recommendations
