These seats offer a good balance of view and price, providing clear sightlines of the stage with minimal obstructions, making them ideal for budget-conscious attendees seeking a quality experience.

Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)

Sections in Rows 300 and 400, such as Rows 300, 301, 400, 401, and 403, also priced at $88, are considered the sweet spot, combining favorable vantage points with consistent availability. These seats typically offer a central view of the stage, with a comfortable distance that balances proximity and overall experience.

Higher Tier Options (Not the Best Deals)

Seats located in the front rows of the Davis section, especially Rows 200 and 201, are premium options at the same price point of $88 but are closer to the stage. These rows provide an intimate experience with an excellent view of the performers, ideal for those seeking a more immersive concert experience.

Premium or Last-Minute

The highest tier seats are found in Rows 600 and 601, also priced at $88, offering a slightly elevated perspective. These seats are suitable for attendees who prefer a broader view of the stage and the entire performance space, especially if last-minute availability is a concern, as these sections tend to have steady stock.
