Best Value Tickets
For optimal balance between price and view, the Section=BALC, Row=M tickets priced at $257 offer great value with good proximity to the stage and decent availability. These seats are located in the balcony area, providing an elevated view of the stage with a comfortable vantage point.
Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)
The Section=BALC, Row=K tickets at $330 are in the balcony, slightly higher than Row M, offering a good compromise of view, price, and availability. They are ideal for fans seeking a clear sightline without premium costs.
Higher Tier Options (Not the best deals but premium views)
Premium seats include the Section=ORCH CTR, Row=L at $642 and Section=ORCH, Row=A at $646. These seats are located in the orchestra center, providing the closest and most direct view of the stage, perfect for an immersive experience. Note that these are limited in quantity and higher in price.
Premium or Last-Minute Tickets
For last-minute options, consider the Section=ORCH, Rows=Y/Z in the orchestra, priced around $178 - $246. These seats are in the front sections but toward the sides or back of the orchestra, offering a good view with slightly more affordable prices compared to the front rows.
Differences in Sections & Views

Seats in the Rows G, K, and M in Balcony and Orchestra sections are generally considered the best for viewing the stage, offering a good balance of proximity and height.
