Higher Tier Options (Premium Views)

View Comparison by Section

• Stage Left/Right (STGL/STGR): Intimate but slightly obstructed views of opposite side acts
• 100-Level: Steep rake ensures good visibility but misses some overhead details
• 200-Level: Ideal elevation to appreciate both floor and aerial performances
• 300-Level Front: Comprehensive views of the entire production's scope
• 300-Level Rear: Most affordable but distant from facial expressions

Pro Tips for Cirque du Soleil "Mad Apple"

• Rows A-C in 300-level often provide better views than rear 100-level seats
• Avoid extreme side sections (305/201) for balanced viewing
• For groups of 4+, consider 303-304 sections with multiple $132-$143 tickets available
• Last-minute deals often appear for 100-level VP seats day-of-show

Current Best Available Deals

The New York-New York Theater's in-the-round configuration means there are no truly bad seats, but strategic selection can dramatically enhance your Cirque du Soleil experience. For first-time viewers, we recommend the 200-level center sections (202-204) to appreciate the full spectacle.
