Best Value Tickets (Under $80)

• STAGE LEFT/STAGE RIGHT (Rows A): $75 - Front-row side sections with slightly angled views. Excellent proximity to performers but may miss some overhead acts.
• Section 302 (Row BB): $78 - Center-balcony seating with surprisingly good sightlines. Higher elevation but straight-on view of all aerial performances.
• Section 303 (Row FF): $78 - Side balcony with good availability. Slight angle compensated by lower price point.

Sweet Spot Seating ($80-$130)

• Section 104 (Rows E-F): $125 - Front mezzanine with perfect elevation to appreciate both floor and aerial acts. Center sections provide the most balanced experience.
• Section 202 (Row K): $125 - Mid-orchestra with comfortable viewing angle. Far enough back to take in the full stage picture.
• Section 304 (Row AA): $125 - Front-row balcony with unobstructed views. Excellent compromise between price and view quality.

• Section 203 (Row K): $176 - Center-orchestra with ideal sightlines. These seats disappear quickly due to their popularity.
• Section 302 (Row AA): $176 - Front-center balcony. The best balcony seats in the house with full-stage visibility.
