Magnolia Performing Arts Center, El Cajon | Jazz & Blues Concerts: "Al Di Meola" - Seating Guide & Ticket Options

Best Value Tickets

For the most economical experience with a good view, consider seats in Section REARR, Rows Z1 and Z2, priced at $69 and $88 respectively. These seats are closer to the rear but still offer a decent vantage point of the stage, especially Z1 which provides a direct line of sight with minimal obstructions. The Z2 row offers limited or obstructed views but at a significantly lower price, making it suitable for budget-conscious attendees seeking entry-level options.

Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)

The optimal balance between price and view is found in Section GCRCLE, Rows C and D, priced at $150 and $113. Rows C and D in GCRCLE offer excellent sightlines, closer to the stage than the rear sections, with Row D providing a slightly higher vantage point that still captures the stage well. These seats are ideal for those wanting quality views without paying premium prices for front-row seats.

Higher Tier Options (Not the Best Deals)

Premium or last-minute options include seats in Section GCRCLE, Row A, at $238, which are the closest to the stage and offer the best viewing experience. Rows B and C in GCRCLE also fall into this category, priced at $202 and $168 respectively, providing a more intimate concert experience with clear sightlines. These are recommended for passionate fans seeking the best possible view and ambiance.

Premium & Last-Minute & Obstructed Views

Last-minute or premium choices include mobile entry tickets in Section REARR, Row Z1, at $69-$85, which are near the stage but may have obstructed views depending on the angle. The seats in Section RSVD, Row G, at $102, and Rows K to R, priced between $81-$82, offer reserved, comfortable viewing options, generally with good sightlines but at a higher cost. Note that some obstructed view tickets are available at Z2 for $69 and $85, suitable for flexible attendees willing to compromise on view for savings.
