Your Ultimate Guide to the Best Seats at O2 Apollo Manchester

Seating Chart Breakdown

• Circle (Balcony): Tiered seating with elevated views—ideal for visibility, though rear rows may feel distant.
• Upper Circle: Budget-friendly with a bird’s-eye view, but steep angles may affect sightlines.

Best Seats for Different Events

• Concerts: Mid-Circle (rows B–F) for balanced sound and view.
• Comedy/Theatre: Front Stalls (seated) or Circle center for clear sightlines.
