Stratford Festival Theatre | "As You Like It" Seating Guide & Ticket Recommendations

Best Value Tickets (Budget-Friendly Options)

Balcony Aisle 1, Row G ($65): Excellent budget option with surprisingly good sightlines. The balcony provides a full stage view despite being higher up, and Row G is far enough forward to avoid feeling disconnected from the action.
Orchestra Aisle 9, Row M ($68): Solid mid-range orchestra seats with good central views. Slight side angle actually improves perspective for Shakespearean staging.

Sweet Spot (Best Balance of Price & View)

Orchestra Aisle 1, Row M ($68): Prime location just off-center left with perfect elevation - you'll see facial expressions clearly while taking in the full stage picture.
Balcony Aisle 1, Row C ($68): Front balcony seats offer remarkable value. The steep balcony angle means you're closer to the stage than the row letter suggests.

Higher Tier Options (Premium Views)

Orchestra Aisle 1, Row K ($132): Excellent center-left position about 2/3 back in orchestra - ideal for catching all the subtle acting choices in Shakespeare.
Balcony Aisle 1, Row A ($132): Front-row balcony provides an unobstructed, slightly elevated perspective that many regulars prefer for the Festival Theatre's thrust stage.

Premium & Last-Minute Options

Orchestra Aisle 1, Row F ($226): Truly premium seats with perfect sightlines to all three stage areas in this thrust configuration.
Orchestra Aisle Left/Right 5, Row C ($336): These are the famous "onstage" seats - you'll be seated on the actual stage platform with a unique actor's-eye view (limited availability).

Key View Differences by Section

Orchestra Center: Best for seeing the full stage picture and actor interactions (Rows F-K ideal)
Orchestra Sides: Surprisingly good for Shakespeare as they reveal blocking patterns (Aisles 1 & 9 recommended)
Balcony Front: Provides the best view of the famous Festival Theatre architecture along with the performance
Onstage Seats: Unparalleled immersion but partial viewing angles - best for repeat visitors

Our Top Recommendations

For First-Timers: Orchestra Aisle 1, Row M - gives you the classic Stratford Festival experience
For Budget-Conscious: Balcony Aisle 1, Row G - unbeatable value
For Special Occasions: Orchestra Aisle Left/Right 5 - the unforgettable onstage experience
For Groups: Balcony Aisle 1, Row C - multiple tickets available together with great views

Remember that the Festival Theatre's thrust stage means there are no truly bad seats - even the balcony provides excellent intimacy. For "As You Like It," we recommend prioritizing seats that give you clear views of all three stage areas to fully appreciate the pastoral scenes and comic business.
