State Theatre - MN | Purple Rain - The Musical Seating Guide & Ticket Recommendations
Best Value Tickets (Great Views at Lower Prices)

- BALC 5 & BALC 6 (Row S - $354): Centered balcony seats with perfect head-on views of the stage. Only $25 more than side balconies for better symmetry.
Sweet Spot (Best Balance of Price & Location)
- FLR 3 & FLR 4 (Row HH - $403): Mid-orchestra seating at floor level. HH rows are far enough back for full stage view but close enough to see facial expressions.
- FLR 3 & FLR 4 (Row X - $475): Premium orchestra seating about 15 rows from stage. The "X" designation indicates premium viewing rows in this historic theater.
Higher Tier Options (Better Proximity at Higher Cost)

Premium/Last-Minute Options
- FLR 1 & FLR 2 (Row L - $1263): Ultimate front-row experience. You'll see every detail of the costumes and choreography.
Key View Differences
- Balcony vs Floor: Balcony offers panoramic views of dance numbers while floor seats provide intimacy with performers.
- Side vs Center: Side balconies (7-8) have slight viewing angles but often better sound, while center balconies (5-6) offer straight-on views.
- Row Letters: HH rows are about 2/3 back in each section, X rows are middle, R rows are front, L rows are very front.
Our Recommendation
For "Purple Rain - The Musical," we recommend the BALC 5/6 Row S ($354) as the best overall value - you'll appreciate the full choreography from this vantage point. If you prefer floor seats, FLR 4 Row X ($475) offers the best mid-range orchestra experience. The $551 R rows are only worth it if you specifically want close-up views of Prince's iconic costumes.
Pro Tip
The State Theatre's balcony actually provides some of the best overall views for musicals. Don't assume floor seats are always better - the elevation helps you appreciate the full stage picture, especially for dance-heavy shows like this Prince tribute.
