Best Value Tickets (Under $60)

• Grand Circle Rows J ($42): Highest tier but excellent sound quality. Perfect for budget-conscious attendees who don't mind steep angles.
• Grand Circle Row G ($59): Mid-tier Grand Circle with better sightlines than Row J. Some minor overhang from balcony above.

Sweet Spot Tickets (Good Availability & Price)

• Stalls Row Y ($82): Rear stalls but completely unobstructed. Great for viewers who prefer straight-on perspectives.
• Grand Circle Row F ($82): Front of Grand Circle - more immersive than higher rows but may have safety rail visibility.

Higher Tier Options (Better Views, Moderate Premium)

• Royal Circle Row K ($104): Closer to stage than Row M with excellent vertical sightlines to see choreography.
• Stalls Row X ($104): 3/4 back in stalls - optimal distance to take in full stage pictures without missing details.

Special Notes for Live Aid Musical

This production features elaborate ensemble numbers - we recommend Royal Circle seats (Rows F-K) to fully appreciate the choreography. For those prioritizing vocal performances, Stalls rows U-Y offer excellent acoustics at more affordable prices than front stalls.
