Best Value Tickets (Under $100)

• Locomotive (Row P): $157 - Mid-theater center with ideal eye-level viewing of the famous bridge scene.

Premium Experience

• Carriage2/Carriage3 (Rows DD): $322 - Front-row balcony seats with actors frequently skating directly beneath. Best for appreciating the speed and athleticism.
• Locomotive (Row L): $272 - "Goldilocks zone" - close enough to see expressions but far enough to take in the full staging.

Viewing Differences by Section

• Trackside: Feel the wind as skaters race past (closest to action but sometimes extreme neck angles)
• Locomotive: Balanced views of both track and staging (best for first-time viewers)
• Platform: Unique top-down perspective of choreography patterns
• Carriage: Elevated comfort with premium amenities (best for repeat viewers focusing on technical details)

Expert Recommendations

• For special occasions: Carriage DD rows (VIP experience with champagne service)
• Last-minute deals: Check Platform sections 48hrs before showtime

Special Notes

The theater's oval design means no seat is more than 15m from the track. All sections offer clear views, but the experience varies dramatically - choose based on whether you prioritize intimacy (Trackside), overall perspective (Locomotive), or production detail (Carriage).
