Strategic Seat Selection Guide for Stratford Festival Theatre
Experience Shakespeare's "As You Like It" with optimal views and value at Ontario's premier thrust stage theater. This guide analyzes sightlines, pricing tiers, and hidden gems in the Stratford Festival Theatre's unique configuration.
Best Value Tickets (Price/View Balance)
- Balcony Aisle 1, Row G ($65): Elevated but direct sightlines to center stage. Perfect for budget-conscious viewers who want clear perspectives of the actors' entrances from the vomitoria.
- Orchestra Aisle 2, Row N ($67): Just behind premium sections with only 1° sightline difference. Closer to ground-level action while maintaining full stage visibility.
Sweet Spot Seats (Good Availability & Price)
- Balcony Rows A-C ($68-$114): Front balcony seats offer surprisingly intimate views given Stratford's steep rake. Row C provides exceptional value at $68.
- Orchestra Row M ($68): Mid-orchestra position avoids both extreme neck craning (front rows) and sound attenuation (rear sections).
Higher Tier Options (Not Best Deals, But Notable)
- Orchestra Rows K ($114): Premium pricing without true front-row benefits. Only consider if you value being 12 rows closer than Row N at nearly double the price.
- Balcony Front Rows A ($114): The "balcony rail" experience - unparalleled vertical view but may require leaning forward during ground-level scenes.
Premium & Last-Minute Considerations
- Orchestra Rows B/F ($208): True premium seats with actors entering/exiting just feet away. Row F is particularly magical for scenes using the thrust stage extensions.
- Aisle 1 vs Aisle 9: Aisle 1 faces primary stage entrances, while Aisle 9 offers better views of the upstage balcony used in "As You Like It"'s forest scenes.
View Difference Highlights
- Balcony vs Orchestra: Balcony provides better spatial understanding of the thrust stage's geometry, while orchestra captures subtle facial expressions.
- Row A Warning: Front rows in both sections may require some head movement during scenes where actors utilize multiple stage levels.
- Sound Considerations: Balcony seats hear more vocal projection (actors face upward), while orchestra catches quieter asides.
Our Top Recommendations
- For Budget Buyers: Balcony Aisle 1, Row G ($65) - 85% of the experience at 60% of premium cost
- For Best Balance: Orchestra Aisle 2, Row N ($67) or Balcony Aisle 1, Row C ($68)
- For Splurging: Orchestra Aisle 9, Row F ($208) - optimal view of the forest set's depth
The Stratford Thrust Stage Advantage
Unlike traditional proscenium theaters, Stratford's stage extends into the audience with three seating banks. For "As You Like It," this means you'll always be within 15 rows of the forest scenes while enjoying unique angular perspectives that change the storytelling dynamics.
