Stratford Festival Theatre | "As You Like It" Seating Guide & Ticket Recommendations
Best Value Tickets (Under $70)
- Balcony Aisle 1, Row G ($65): Excellent budget option with surprisingly good sightlines. The balcony provides a full stage view though you'll miss some facial expressions.
- Orchestra Aisle 1/9, Row M ($68): Solid mid-orchestra seats at balcony prices. These are 13 rows back but center-aisle for easy access.
Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)
- Balcony Aisle 1/9, Row C ($68): Front balcony row with perfect elevation - you'll see all stage action clearly without neck strain.
- Orchestra Aisle 1/9, Row L ($132): Premium orchestra location at mid-range price. Close enough for intimate moments but far enough for full stage perspective.
Higher Tier Options (Not the best deals)
- Balcony Aisle 1/9, Row A ($132): First row balcony has slightly obstructed views of upstage areas due to the railing.
- Orchestra Aisle 1/9, Row P ($225): Very back orchestra - you're paying for the section but getting worse views than balcony at this price.
Premium or Last-Minute Picks
- Orchestra Aisle Left/Right 5, Rows B-C ($336): True premium seats - 5th row center with perfect sightlines and actor intimacy.
- Orchestra Aisle 1/9, Rows A/F ($226): Front orchestra extreme sides - great for seeing facial expressions but partial view.
View Differences & Recommendations
- Balcony vs Orchestra: Balcony offers better overall stage pictures (crucial for Shakespeare), while orchestra provides actor intimacy.
- Aisle Seats: All recommended seats are aisle-adjacent - the Festival Theatre has narrow rows so aisle access is valuable.
- Best Overall Value: Balcony Row C delivers 90% of the experience at 50% of premium prices.
- Group Tip: The $65 Balcony Row G seats have 4 available - perfect for budget-conscious groups.
Stratford Festival Theatre Layout Notes
The thrust stage means actors frequently face different directions. Center-left/right seats (like Orchestra Aisle 5) get the most balanced views. Avoid extreme sides beyond Aisle 1/9.
Final Recommendation
For "As You Like It", we recommend the Balcony Row C ($68) for best value or Orchestra Row L ($132) if you prefer closer actor interaction. The $336 center orchestra seats are spectacular but only worth it for true theatre enthusiasts.
