Recommended Seats For End-Stage Setups

To the Side of the Stage: For close views of the stage with a little bit of elevation, consider seats to the side of the stage in Main Floor 1L, Main Floor 1R, Main Floor 2L and Main Floor 2R. The view is not head-on like on the floor, but many of the seats are closer to the stage, provide better elevation and are actual stadium seats.

Consider the Following When Buying Tickets

Lower level side sections are not created equal: While the side sections closest to the stage are top-notch, side sections farther from the stage may leave you with a cramp in your neck. Sections PIT and 1L are not well-angled towards the stage - leaving you to turn your head for an ideal view. Instead, consider head-on sections in the lower level or even close side seats in the upper level like Sections 1L and 2L.
