These seats provide a good balance between price and view, placing you slightly above the main floor, offering a clear sightline of the stage without the premium cost.
Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)
The Rows 3 and 4 in Sections UBAL 1, UBAL 2, UBAL 3, and UBAL 6 at approximately $62-$66 are considered the sweet spot. These sections are close to the stage, offering closer proximity and better sightlines, especially Rows 3 and 4, which are just a few rows back from the front balcony. The prices remain accessible while providing a more immersive experience.
Higher Tier Options (Not the Best Deals)
Premium seats include the Sections ORCH 1, ORCH 2, and ORCH 3 at prices ranging from $90 to $97. These seats are located in the Orchestra level, closer to the stage, with Row 1-3 offering the best views. These options are ideal if you want a closer, more direct view of the performers, but come at a higher cost.
Premium or Last-Minute & Recommendations
