Best Value Tickets (Under $120)

• Section 201 Row HH ($98): Rear side balcony with good elevation (4 tickets available). Perfect for budget-conscious viewers who still want clear sightlines to the aerial acts.
• Section 202 Row EE ($119): Mid-level side seating with better head-on views than 201-HH (2 tickets available). Excellent price-to-view ratio.

Sweet Spot Tickets ($120-$170)

• Section 201 Row AA ($145): Front row of the side balcony - unobstructed downward view of the stage (6 tickets). Best mid-range option for seeing floor acrobatics.
• Section 101 Row C ($147): Orchestra seating close enough to see performers' expressions (8 tickets). Center-left position avoids extreme side views.
• Section 202 Row BB ($146-$162): Premium side balcony seats with direct sightlines to the main performance area (multiple quantities).

Higher Tier Options ($170-$230)

• Section 101 Row B ($185-$225): Second row orchestra - exceptional closeness to the stage (multiple quantities). Watch for occasional aerial acts flying overhead.
• Section 103 Row A ($221-$232): Front row center-right - perfect for the show's signature water effects (limited availability).
• Section 102 Row C/D ($207-$236): Dead-center orchestra seating with balanced views of all performance areas.

Premium & Last-Minute Options ($230+)

• Section 102 Row A ($281): Front row center - unbeatable views with potential performer interaction (2 tickets).
• Section 02 Row D ($404): VIP floor seating - closest possible experience (4 tickets). Includes premium amenities.

View Comparison Guide

• Orchestra (Sections 101-103): Best for seeing facial expressions and floor acrobatics. Rows A-C offer immersive experiences, while rows D-F provide better overall perspective.
• Side Balcony (Sections 201-204): Superior views for aerial acts and stage patterns. Rows AA-EE offer the best balance, while HH is budget-friendly but more distant.
• Center vs. Side: Center seats (102/202) showcase the full stage picture, while side seats (101/103, 201/203) often provide better depth perception for aerial feats.

Expert Recommendations

• For groups of 4+: Section 201-HH ($98) offers outstanding value, while Section 101-C ($147) provides a more premium group experience.
• For couples: Splurge on Section 103-A ($221) for romantic front-row views of the water performances.
• First-time viewers: Choose Section 202-BB ($146) for balanced views of all performance elements.
• Cirque enthusiasts: Section 102-A ($281) delivers the most intense, immersive experience.

Special Notes

The 'Auana show features unique water elements - center-left seats (Sections 101/102) offer the best views of these special effects. For aerial acts, balcony seats (Sections 201-204) provide superior viewing angles. All seats at OUTRIGGER Waikiki have good sightlines, but front orchestra rows may require slightly more neck movement to follow high-altitude performances.
