• Orchestra Rear (Sections 101/103 Rows H-P): $155 - Floor seats at mezzanine prices. Avoid rows Q-R which may have obstructed views.

Higher Tier Options (Premium Views)

View Comparison

• Orchestra: Best for feeling immersed in the production but may require looking up during aerial acts.
• Mezzanine: Better for appreciating the full scope of choreography and aerial sequences.
• Side Sections (201/205): Slightly angled views but often at significant discounts.

Pro Tips

• Rows A-C in Orchestra may have performers passing within arm's reach during certain numbers.
• Mezzanine Rows BB-EE offer the best compromise between price and view of the entire production.
• Avoid extreme side sections (201/205) beyond Row HH if you want full projection visibility.
• For groups of 4+, consider Section 202 Row QQ at $105 each - great availability and value.

Current Best Deals

The Michael Jackson ONE theater is specially designed so there are few truly bad seats, but strategic selection can dramatically enhance your experience. For first-time viewers, we recommend the front mezzanine (Rows EE-GG) to appreciate both the ground and aerial performances equally.
