State Theatre - MN | Purple Rain - The Musical Seating Guide & Ticket Recommendations
Best Value Tickets (Under $170)
- MF1 Section - Row GG ($153): Excellent mid-orchestra seats with direct stage view. GG row offers perfect elevation - high enough for full stage visibility but close enough to see facial expressions. Best price-to-view ratio available.
- BALC8 Section - Row Q ($161): Front balcony seats with surprisingly good sightlines. Slightly angled view but unobstructed. Perfect for buyers prioritizing budget without sacrificing visibility.
Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)
- BALC 7 Section - Row S ($329): Center balcony seats with premium elevation. The S row provides a straight-on view of the entire stage - ideal for appreciating choreography and set design.
- BALC 8 Section - Row S ($329): Nearly identical to BALC7 but slightly off-center. Minimal view difference but sometimes available when center sections sell out.
Higher Tier Options (Premium Views)
- FLR 4/3 Sections - Row HH ($403): Premium orchestra seating with immersive experience. HH row is far enough back for optimal sound balance but close enough to feel connected to performers. Watch for occasional obstructed views from overhang in rear orchestra.
- BALC 5/6 Sections - Row S ($354): Prime balcony boxes with the best side views in the house. These sections offer unique perspective on stage mechanics and performer entrances.
Premium & Last-Minute Options
- FLR 2/1 Sections - Row HH ($551): Front orchestra "VIP experience" seats. You'll catch every nuance of the performance but pay premium pricing. Best for die-hard fans wanting the closest possible view.
Key View Differences
- Orchestra (MF1/FLR): Best for seeing facial expressions and feeling immersed in the performance. Higher rows (GG/HH) often have better sightlines over heads than front orchestra.
- Balcony (BALC): Superior for appreciating full stage pictures and choreography. Front balcony (Rows Q-S) offers the best balance - avoid rows beyond T for this musical.
- Side Sections: BALC 5-8 provide interesting angular views that reveal backstage mechanics - great for theater enthusiasts.
Our Top Recommendations
- Best Overall Value: MF1-GG at $153 (snatch these quickly if you want orchestra)
- Best Balcony Experience: BALC7-S at $329 (center balcony perfection)
- Budget-Friendly Pick: BALC8-Q at $161 (great views at lowest price point)
- Splurge-Worthy: FLR3-HH at $403 (orchestra immersion without front-row premium)
Pro Tips
- The State Theatre's steep balcony means even rear balcony seats have decent views, but for "Purple Rain," aim for rows Q-S
- Orchestra seats beyond row JJ may have slightly obstructed views of the fly system during scene changes
- Side balcony seats (BALC5-8) offer unique vantage points to see performer entrances
- For groups of 4+, the BALC8-Q tickets at $161 are your best value option currently available
