Stratford Festival Theatre | "As You Like It" Tickets – Best Seats & Value Guide

Strategic Seating Breakdown for "As You Like It" at Stratford Festival Theatre

The Stratford Festival Theatre's thrust stage creates unique sightlines. This guide highlights the best value tickets, sweet spots, and premium options for Shakespeare's "As You Like It," with detailed notes on view quality from different sections.

Best Value Tickets (Under $70)

Balcony Aisle 1, Row G ($65) - Elevated but central view with excellent depth perception. Front balcony avoids obstructed views common in side balconies.
Orchestra Aisle 9/2, Rows M-N ($68) - Side orchestra with minimal obstruction. Row M-N puts you at ideal height to see floor work on the thrust stage.
Balcony Aisle 1, Row C ($68) - Closer balcony seats with surprisingly good angles. Perfect for viewers who prefer seeing facial expressions without premium prices.

Sweet Spot Seats (Good Availability & Price Balance)

Orchestra Aisle 1/9, Row K ($114) - Premium side orchestra with direct sightlines to all three stage portals. The $114 price point offers better value than front rows.
Balcony Aisle 1/9, Row A ($114) - Front balcony center provides an unobstructed "director's view" of the stage pictures. Best balcony option for purists.

Higher Tier Options (Not the Best Deals)

Orchestra Aisle 1/9, Row A ($208) - Front row seats actually require more neck movement to follow action on the thrust stage. Only choose if you want extreme proximity.
Orchestra Aisle 1, Row F ($208) - Sixth row center commands premium pricing but shares similar sightlines with rows K-M at half the price.

View Comparison Key

Balcony Aisle 1 vs. Aisle 9: Aisle 1 (house right) has better views of stage-left entrances where major "As You Like It" forest scenes occur.
Orchestra Rows K-M: The "golden triangle" - far enough back to take in the full stage picture but close enough for intimacy.
Row A Warning: In both balcony and orchestra, front rows may require looking up (balcony) or down (orchestra) during floor-level scenes.

Our Top Recommendations

For Budget-Conscious Groups: Balcony Aisle 1, Row G ($65) - four available together with solid sightlines.
For Couples: Orchestra Aisle 9, Row M ($68) - side orchestra pairs available with excellent value.
For Premium Experience: Balcony Aisle 1, Row A ($114) - the most dramatic full-stage view Shakespeare intended.

Stratford Theatre Pro Tip

The thrust stage means 40% of the action happens on the forestage. Seats further back in the orchestra (Rows K-M) often have better sightlines than front rows for catching all the layered performances in this pastoral comedy.
