Best Value Tickets (Under $80)

• STGR/STGL Sections (Rows A-C): $75-76 - Front side sections with excellent diagonal stage views. Rows A put you just feet from performers during stage interactions.
• 300-Level Center (Rows AA-FF): $78 - Elevated view that captures all aerial acts. Best value: Sections 302-303 offer centered perspectives.
• 200-Level Rear (Rows L-O): $78 - Surprisingly good sightlines from these rear mezzanine seats at balcony prices.

Sweet Spot Seating (Best Balance of Price & View)

• 100-Level Sides (Sections 101/104, Rows E-F): $125 - Closer angled views that feel more immersive than some center seats.
• 200-Level Mid (Rows K-M): $111-125 - Perfect elevation to appreciate both floor and aerial performances without neck strain.
• 300-Level Front (Rows AA-CC): $111-133 - For budget-conscious buyers who want centered views, these front 300-level rows outperform many more expensive options.

Premium Experience Seats

• VIP Floor (Rows VP1-VP2): $170-384 - True front-row immersion with possible performer interaction. Best for those wanting the full sensory experience.
• 100-Level Center (Rows C-D): $234-299 - Unobstructed head-on views with ideal sightlines to all performance areas.
• 200-Level Front (Rows H-J): $208-218 - Private balcony feel with excellent sightlines to all performance levels.

View Considerations

• Stage Proximity: STGR/STGL sections offer thrilling closeness but require more head movement. Center sections provide better overall perspectives.
• Aerial Views: 200-Level (Rows K-M) and 300-Level (Rows AA-CC) offer the best sightlines for aerial performances.
• Acoustics: 100-Level center seats (Rows C-E) provide optimal sound balance for the musical components.

Our Top Recommendations

• Best Overall Value: Section 303, Row CC ($133) - Centered upper level with perfect viewing angle for all performance elements.
• Budget Pick: STGR/STGL Row A ($75) - Incredible proximity at lowest price point.
• Premium Choice: Section 101 Row C ($263) - Perfect head-on view with comfortable elevation.
• Group Option: Section 302 Row BB ($78) - Great availability for groups with solid center views.

Special Notes

The New York-New York Theater's intimate 1,800-seat configuration means there are no truly bad seats. Even the highest 300-level seats are closer than comparable venues. For "Mad Apple," which blends circus arts with comedy and music, center sections provide the most balanced experience.

• Check for same-day releases in Sections 203-204 (Rows K-M) often discounted to $125-138.
