View Comparison & Recommendations

• Orchestra Side vs Center: Side sections (ORCL/ORCR-S) offer 10-15° angled views at 10-20% discounts from center
• Balcony Advantages: Higher tiers (BAL sections) provide better views of complex choreography and set pieces
• Row Mathematics: In orchestra, rows 15-25 often offer better value than closer rows where you may crane your neck
• Pair Purchases: For two attendees, BALL/BALR-4 pairs often become available at better per-seat rates

Special Considerations for Moulin Rouge

• Choose right-side sections (ORCR/BALR) for better views of the iconic windmill stage element
• Balcony rows 1-3 provide the best vantage for the aerial choreography sequences
• For patrons under 5'4", recommend orchestra rows 20+ or balcony rows with stadium seating

Final Recommendation

For most attendees, we recommend the ORCL-S Row 15-19 range ($91-106) which provides outstanding value with only minimal side angle. Those wanting the full Moulin Rouge spectacle should consider splurging on ORCR-3 Center Orchestra ($164-166). Budget seekers will be pleasantly surprised by the BALR-5 section's panoramic views at just $85.
