- Aisle 2, Row G ($236): Direct sightline to the stage's primary levels. These seats shine during the bear chase scene (Act III) with full visibility of special effects.
Higher Tier Options (Enhanced Experience)

Premium/Last-Minute Choices

Critical View Differences by Section

- Aisle 4-6: Uninterrupted views of the central discovery space where key revelations occur in Acts IV-V.

Our Top Recommendation
For first-time attendees, the Aisle 4, Row G tickets at $215 offer the perfect balance - you'll experience the play's full emotional arc without visual compromises. Seasoned theatergoers might prefer Aisle 2, Row G for its dramatic tension sightlines during Leontes' jealousy scenes.
