Discover the perfect seats for Cirque du Soleil's breathtaking 'Auana show with our detailed venue breakdown. Whether you want budget-friendly options, premium views, or the sweet spot between price and experience, we'll help you navigate the OUTRIGGER Waikiki Beachcomber Theatre's unique seating.

Best Value Tickets (Budget-Conscious)

• Section 201, Row HH ($116): Highest rear balcony row but unobstructed views of the entire stage. Ideal for first-time visitors wanting the full Cirque experience at the lowest price.
• Section 201, Row DD ($144): Mid-balcony with better sightlines to aerial acts. 25% closer than HH rows while maintaining good elevation for the acrobatics.

Sweet Spot (Best Balance of Price & View)

• Section 201/202, Rows BB-CC ($157-$164): Front balcony seats with direct sightlines to center stage. You'll see facial expressions while still getting the "big picture" perspective crucial for Cirque shows.
• Section 103, Row E ($157): Rear orchestra at stage level. Perfect if you prefer being closer to ground-level acts but want to avoid neck strain from upward viewing.

Higher Tier Options (Enhanced Experience)

• Section 101/102/103, Rows C-D ($175-$229): Premium orchestra seating within 15 rows of the stage. Best for appreciating costume details and performer interactions.
• Key Difference: Section 101 (center) has 5° better sight angles than 102/103 (sides) but costs 15-20% more for comparable rows.

Premium & Last-Minute Picks

• Section 103, Row B ($242): Second-row center orchestra - performers often make eye contact with this section during crowd interactions.
• Pro Tip: Rows A-B may have occasional view obstructions from stage equipment - verify with the box office.

View Comparison Guide

• Balcony (200s): Superior for aerial acts (60% of the show) but distant from floor performances.
• Orchestra (100s): Immersive for ground acts but requires more head movement for aerial sequences.
• Side Sections (102/103/202/204): 10-15% price reduction vs center sections with only minimal view compromise.

Our Top Recommendation

For first-time attendees: Section 201, Row BB ($157) offers the quintessential Cirque experience with panoramic views of all performance levels at a reasonable price. Returning fans seeking intimacy should opt for Section 102, Row D ($223) to spot new details in the choreography.

Special Considerations

• All seats have cup holders and 32" legroom - no truly "bad" seats in this intimate 800-seat venue.
• Arrive 30 minutes early: The theater's "pre-show" begins with interactive performances in the aisles.
• VIP packages sometimes include backstage tours - inquire about upgrades at the box office.
