Experience the magic of Cirque du Soleil's "Mad Apple" in Las Vegas with our complete seating guide. Below you'll find detailed recommendations for every budget, from best-value seats to premium VIP sections, with expert notes on view quality and pricing strategies.

Best Value Tickets (Under $80)

• STAGE RIGHT/LEFT - Row A ($75): Closest side-stage seats with unique performer interactions but slightly obstructed views of aerial acts.
• STGR/STGL - Rows A-C ($75-$78): Front-center sections with good elevation - best budget option for full-stage visibility.
• Sections 301-305 - Rows AA-FF ($78): Upper mezzanine center with surprisingly good sightlines - bring binoculars for costume details.

Sweet Spot Seats ($80-$125)

• Sections 203-205 - Rows K-O ($111-$125): Lower mezzanine with perfect vertical angle to appreciate the full stage picture.
• Sections 101-104 - Rows E-F ($125): Orchestra sides with excellent proximity to stage - avoid far right/left for best views.
• STGR/STGL - Rows A-B ($81-$86): Price fluctuates - check for last-minute drops to premium front sections.

Higher Tier Options ($125-$170)

• Sections 101-104 - Rows C-G ($125-$170): Center orchestra with immersive experience - rows C-E offer ideal depth.
• Sections 301-305 - Rows AA-CC ($132-$161): Upper center with premium pricing - only worth it if you prefer higher vantage point.
• VP1/VP2 Rows ($170): Variable pricing seats - sometimes get upgraded to better locations.

Premium & VIP Selections ($170+)

• Orchestra Center - Rows C-D ($176-$227): Unobstructed views with perfect sightlines to all performance areas.
• VIP Packages ($293-$384): Includes premium seating, merchandise, and sometimes meet-and-greet opportunities.
• Front Row Center ($374+): Ultimate experience with performers often interacting directly with these seats.

View Comparison Guide

• Stage-Level Seats: Feel the energy but miss some aerial perspectives (best for comedy segments).
• Lower Mezzanine (Sections 200s): Ideal balance for seeing floor work and aerial acts simultaneously.
• Upper Mezzanine (Sections 300s): Better for appreciating large-scale choreography patterns.
• Extreme Sides: May miss some acts performed diagonally across stage.

Pro Tips for Best Experience

• Check for price drops on STGR/STGL sections 48 hours before showtime.
• Rows A-C in 300s sections often have better views than rows M-O in 200s.
• For groups, Sections 303-305 frequently have blocks of 4+ seats together.
• Avoid seats behind lighting/sound equipment in far side sections.
