View Considerations

• Balcony vs. Orchestra: Lower seats (100-level) offer closer views of ground performances while balcony (200-level) provides better perspective for aerial acts.
• Side Sections: 201/205 may have slightly angled views but often come at significant discounts to center sections.
• Front Rows: First few rows in any section may require looking up during aerial sequences - rows 4-8 often provide the most comfortable viewing angles.

Pro Tips

• For groups: Section 202 Row QQ has 13 available seats at $105 - the best group rate in the house.
• Best budget single tickets: Section 201 Row QQ ($105) still offers good views despite the higher row.
• Most coveted seats: Section 102 Row A center orchestra provides the most immersive experience.
• For first-time visitors: Choose center sections (101-103 or 202-204) to fully appreciate the 360° production.
