Best Value Tickets (Under $80)

• STGR/STGL (Rows B-C - $78-82): Front side sections with unique diagonal perspectives of the circular stage

Sweet Spot Seating ($111-$157)

• Section 200s Center (Rows K-M - $111-$147): Prime first balcony with direct sightlines (Sections 202-204) - avoids extreme angles of floor sections

• Section 101/104 (Rows E-F - $125-$147): Rear floor sections with comfortable elevation over front floor seats

Premium Viewing ($170-$240)

• Floor Center (Rows C-G - $170-$240): Sections 101-104 offer unobstructed views (avoid VP1/VP2 marked seats which may have partial obstructions)
• 200s Front (Rows H-K - $176-$218): Closest balcony seats with ideal elevation for appreciating aerial choreography
• 300s Center AA (Rows AA - $176-$205): Front-and-center upper level with surprisingly good sightlines given the distance

VIP & Last-Minute Options ($240+)

• Front Floor (Rows C-D - $240-$308): Ultimate immersion with performers often entering through these sections
• 200s Premium (Rows H-J - $208-$227): Last-minute upgrades often available in these sought-after balcony seats

View Comparison Guide

• Floor Seats: Best for seeing facial expressions and ground-level acts (may require looking up for aerial segments)
• 200 Level: Perfect balance - sees all stage levels without extreme neck angles
• 300 Level: Best for appreciating full-stage choreography patterns (further back in 300s may miss some facial expressions)
• Stage Side Seats: Unique close-up perspectives but miss some opposite-stage action

Pro Tips for Cirque du Soleil Tickets

• For groups: Section 303 Row FF has 8 seats together at $78 each - rare find
• Best single ticket: Section 101 Row E ($125) offers center floor view at mid-range price
• Avoid extreme side sections (305/301) for first-time viewers - better for repeat visitors wanting new perspectives
• Check the theater's website for current COVID protocols that may affect certain sections
