Best Value Tickets ($105-$155)

• Section 101/103 Rows B-P: Side orchestra at $155 - closer but with minor side-stage obstructions during aerial acts.
• Tip: Sections 202/204 provide more centered views than side sections 201/205 at this price point.

Sweet Spot Seating ($155-$199)

• Front Mezzanine (Sections 201-205 Rows EE-HH): $155 tickets in Rows EE-FF deliver excellent overhead perspective of the acrobatics.
• Mid-Orchestra (Sections 101/103 Rows D-K): $171 seats offer immersive proximity to the dance performances.
• Best Balance: Section 203 Row DD ($171) - centered mezzanine with perfect sightlines to all stage projections.

Premium Sections ($225-$330)

• Front Orchestra (Sections 101-103 Rows A-C): $225-$295 puts you within 15 rows of the stage - ideal for seeing facial expressions.
• Center Mezzanine (Rows AA-CC): $288-$330 positions in sections 202-204 provide commanding overhead views.
• Warning: First 3 rows (A-C) may require some neck craning for aerial acts - better for ground-level performances.

VIP Recommendations ($336-$396)

• Section 102 Rows A-H: $352 premium center orchestra seats with perfect sightlines to all stage elements.
• Sections 202-204 Rows AA: $388 front mezzanine delivers panoramic views of the entire production.

View Comparison

• Orchestra (Sections 101-103): Intimate MJ dance-focused experience but miss some overhead acrobatics.
• Mezzanine (Sections 201-205): Better for appreciating the full scope of Cirque's aerial production numbers.
• Side Sections (201/205): 15-20° angled views - some projection mapping may be distorted.
