Mat Franco Theater at the LINQ – Chippendales Seating Guide & Best Tickets

Expert Tips for Choosing the Best Seats at Mat Franco Theater

The Mat Franco Theater at the LINQ offers an intimate 400-seat venue with excellent sightlines throughout. For Chippendales performances, you'll want to balance proximity to the stage with optimal viewing angles. Below is our expert breakdown of seating sections, value picks, and premium options.

Best Value Tickets ($97-$111)

• Sections T31-T36: Rear orchestra at unbeatable prices. While farther back, these center sections (especially T33-T34) offer straight-on views of the entire stage. Rows are tiered for good visibility over heads.
• Best Deal: Section T36 at $97 (4 tickets available) - only $1-2 more than the cheapest options but better centered.

Sweet Spot Seating ($121-$143)

• RESV/RESERVED Sections: Mid-theater seating with RR, R, and NN rows. These offer the perfect balance of price and proximity - close enough to see facial expressions but far enough to take in the full stage choreography.
• PREF Sections (LL rows): At $139-$143, these are the lowest-priced premium seats with excellent elevation and dead-center views.

Higher Tier Options ($153-$161)

• Sections T23-T26: Front orchestra sides. Good for those who want to be close but don't mind slightly angled views. T25-T26 are better centered than T23-T24.
• PREF Sections (G-HH rows): Premium center sections with elevated views. GG/HH rows are worth the extra $5-10 over standard PREF seats for better sightlines.

Premium & Last-Minute Seats ($169+)

• PREM Sections: The first 6 rows (AA-FF) with the closest possible views. BB/CC rows at $171 offer the best value in this category - you'll see every detail without neck strain.
• Front Row Splurge: Section PREM Row FF at $195 puts you right at the stage edge - expect potential performer interaction during Chippendales shows.

View Differences & Recommendations

• Orchestra vs. Reserved: Orchestra (T sections) is flat-floor while Reserved/PREF are elevated. Choose Reserved if you're under 5'8" for guaranteed visibility.
• Center vs. Sides: For Chippendales, center sections (T33-T36, RESV R-RR, PREF L-LL) provide the best view of group choreography.
• Group Tip: The $97 T36 block (4 seats) is ideal for small groups wanting to sit together affordably.

Final Booking Advice

For budget-conscious buyers, jump on the $97 T36 tickets quickly as they're the lowest-priced center-section seats. If you can spend $30-40 more, the $121-$143 RESERVED sections offer the venue's best price-to-view ratio. Premium seekers should target PREM BB/CC rows at $171 - you'll be close enough to feel part of the show without the front-row premium.
