Best Value Tickets
For the most affordable options with good views, sections in the Balcony (BALC) rows X and L offer excellent value. Specifically, seats in Section BALC 1, Row=X priced at $248 and Section BALC 6, Row=X at $248 provide a great balance of price and view. These seats are positioned centrally in the Balcony, offering a clear and immersive experience of the performance.
Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)
The Orchestra Center, Rows C and D in Section ORCH 2 at $147 - $165 are ideal for those seeking a prime, close-up view with a good balance of price and proximity. These seats are directly facing the stage, offering excellent sightlines and sound quality, with some availability remaining.
Higher Tier Options (Not the Best Deals)
Premium options include Orchestra Rows B, L, R, and X in Section ORCH 2 and ORCH 4 at prices ranging from $301 to $460. These seats are closer to the stage and provide superior views of the performers, especially in Row L or B in the Orchestra sections, but they come at a higher cost and are suited for those wanting an elevated concert experience.
Premium or Last-Minute Seats
Last-minute premium options include seats in Section ORCH 2, Row L at $460. These are among the closest to the stage, offering exceptional viewing angles and sound clarity, ideal for a memorable experience if you’re willing to invest in the best possible seats.
Seating Views & Differences
The Balcony rows X and L provide an elevated perspective, with balanced sightlines ideal for enjoying the band and stage. The Orchestra sections offer closer proximity, with central rows (C and D in ORCH 2) delivering direct, unobstructed views. Higher rows and side sections in the Orchestra (e.g., Row B or R) still offer good sightlines but may be slightly more angled or distant. Sections like BOX seats provide a more intimate experience but with limited views of the entire stage. Rows in the Orchestra 2 and 4 are notably more expensive but ensure a premium experience with close-up views of the band and stage action.
Additional Recommendations
For an optimal blend of value, view, and accessibility, seats in Section BALC 1, Row=X ($248) and Section ORCH 2, Rows C or D ($147-$165) are highly recommended. If you’re seeking the best overall experience and budget allows, Section ORCH 2, Row L ($460) provides an unmatched perspective near the stage.
