State Theatre - MN | Purple Rain - The Musical Seating Guide & Ticket Recommendations
Best Value Tickets (Budget-Friendly with Good Views)
- BALC 8 & 7 (Row S - $329): Excellent elevated side views with full stage visibility. The balcony at State Theatre has a steep pitch, so even rear balcony seats feel close to the action. Best for those prioritizing price over proximity.
- BALC 5 & 6 (Row S - $354): More centered than sections 7/8 with only $25 premium. The sweet spot for balcony seating with perfect head-on views of the stage.
Sweet Spot Tickets (Great Balance of Price & Location)
- FLR 3 & 4 (Row HH - $403): Rear orchestra seating with unobstructed views. HH rows are under the balcony overhang - excellent sound quality but slightly reduced vertical sightlines.
- FLR 3 & 4 (Row X - $475): Mid-orchestra seating that avoids both overhang and sound issues. X rows are gold standard for musical theater - close enough to see facial expressions while taking in full stage visuals.
Higher Tier Options (Premium Locations)
- FLR 1-3 (Row R - $551-$915): Front orchestra sections with R rows being about 15 rows from stage. FLR 1 (center) commands $364 more than FLR 3 (side) - only recommended for die-hard fans wanting absolute proximity.
- FLR 1 & 2 (Row X - $733): Center orchestra about 12 rows back. Perfect for those who want to be in the "Prince zone" - where the original Purple Rain performances would have been most powerful.
Premium/VIP Experience
- FLR 1 & 2 (Row L - $1263): First 5 rows with potential for actor interaction. State Theatre's shallow pitch means even front row has good sightlines. Includes VIP amenities - best for ultimate fans wanting immersive experience.
View Comparison & Recommendations
- Balcony vs Orchestra: Balcony offers full-stage perspective ideal for dance numbers ($325-354), while orchestra provides intimacy with performers ($400+). For Purple Rain's theatrical numbers, we recommend at least FLR 4 if going orchestra.
- Side Sections: BALC 7/8 and FLR 3 have slight angled views but no obstructions. The State Theatre's design ensures 95%+ stage visibility from all seats.
- Best Acoustics: Rows J-Q in center orchestra (not currently available) traditionally have ideal sound. Of available options, FLR 3 Row X ($551) offers the best audio-visual balance.
Pro Tips
- The $354 balcony seats (BALC 5/6) provide 90% of the experience at 45% of front-row cost
- Orchestra seats behind row P may feel cramped for taller attendees - consider balcony
- For groups of 4+, the BALC 8 Row S ($329) block is exceptional value
- Check day-of-show for potential FLR 1 Row L price drops (often released by producers)
