🎪 For First-Time Cirque Attendees:

View Comparison Guide

• Orchestra Center (101-104): Perfect for taking in the entire production but may require looking up during aerial acts
• Orchestra Sides (STGL/STGR): More intimate with performers but miss some staging nuances
• Mezzanine (301-305): Better for aerial perspective but farther from facial expressions
• Front Rows: Can see sweat and details but may miss some overhead action

Current Best Deals

• 3 tickets in STAGE RIGHT Row A at $75 each (rare group availability)
• Section 303 Row DD at $90 (center upper mezzanine)
• Section 204 Row M at $90 (mid-orchestra side)

Pro Tips

• For "Mad Apple," slightly right-center seats (Sections 102/103) catch more comedy bits
• Traditional Cirque shows benefit from dead-center positions
• Rows A-C in upper mezzanine often sell out first - great value if available
• Avoid extreme side sections beyond STGL/STGR as sightlines become obstructed
