Cirque du Soleil at New York-New York Theater – Best Seats & Deals

Expert Guide to Choosing the Perfect Cirque du Soleil "Mad Apple" Tickets

Discover the best seats for Cirque du Soleil's electrifying "Mad Apple" show at New York-New York Theater. Our venue experts break down every section, from budget-friendly options to premium VIP experiences, with detailed view descriptions and price comparisons to help you make the perfect choice.

Best Value Tickets (Under $100)

• STAGE LEFT/STAGE RIGHT (Rows A-C, $75-$84): Extreme side views but closest to performers. Best for budget-conscious fans who want proximity over perfect sightlines.
• 300-Level Rows BB-FF ($97): Elevated but central views. Rows BB-DD offer better angles than EE-FF. Great for first-time visitors wanting the full stage perspective.

Sweet Spot (Best Balance of Price & View, $100-$150)

• 200-Level Rows K-M ($124-$143): Mid-level elevation with excellent sightlines to aerial acts. Rows K-L in Sections 202-204 avoid extreme angles.
• 300-Level Front Rows AA-CC ($124-$140): First rows of upper level provide unobstructed views. Sections 302-304 are most centered.

Premium Seating ($150-$250)

• 100-Level Rows E-G ($141-$181): Closest elevated seating. Sections 101-104 center provide immersive views of both stage and aerial performances.
• 200-Level Front Rows H-J ($166-$209): Steeper price but exceptional sightlines. Section 203 Row H offers one of the theater's best vantage points.
• VIP Rows C-F ($218-$257): True premium seating. Section 101/104 Rows C-D place you at eye-level with many aerial acts.

Ultimate VIP Experience ($250+)

• VP1/VP2 Sections ($270-$384): Front-and-center "Producer's Seats" with legroom and exclusive amenities. Section 102 VP1 puts you in the first 3 rows.
• 100-Level Front Center ($222-$263): Sections 101-103 Rows C-D offer perfect head-on views of the entire production.

View Comparison Guide

• Stage Proximity vs. Elevation: Lower sections (100/200) see facial expressions better, while 300-level captures full choreography patterns.
• Aerial Act Visibility: Center sections (101-103, 202-203, 302-303) provide the best views of flying performers.
• Obstruction Notes: Extreme side sections (STGL/STGR) may miss some upstage action. Front rows in 100-level may require slight neck craning for aerial acts.
