The Big Top seating chart


Which seats should you choose?

💸Value for money seats:
Level 1: Seats in Sections 103 and 104 are generally more affordable due to the side placement. Thanks to the raked seating and the dynamic show, though, the views are great despite the steep angle.
Level 2: Sections 203-206 generally offer more affordable seating options. These seats are angled and furthest from the stage, but offer a great vantage point from which to see the high-flying acts.

🎭Best views of the stage:
Level 1: Sections 101 and 102, directly in front of the stage, will give you the clearest views.
Level 2: Sections 201-202 offer excellent views ofthe stage. Section 200 in particular gives you the clearest views while being more affordable than premium Level 1 seats.

Now Playing Under the Big Top



Level 1

The lower level of seating at Cirque shows is a ground-level raked section usually split across four subsections, numbered 101-104. These seats are closer to the stage, curving around it in a classic horseshoe shape, and offering a remarkably immersive experience. Views from the middle subsections 101-102 offer the clearest views of the shows and generally include accessible seating in the front rows. The side and rear seats in this level are usually more affordable than front-row seats.

Level 2

The second section is elevated and raked, sitting behind the lower level. It is further from the stage and does not offer as immersive of an experience, but the vantage point allows you to see the entire performance more clearly. With seven subsections numbered 200-206, this is a much larger section with a wider range of views and pricing options. For clearer views, go for middle seats in 200-202. For more affordable seats, try side and rear seats, particularly in sections 203-206.

Which seats would offer me the best views?


Rows AA-B of Level 1 Sections 101-102 offer the clearest views of the stage. The rear seats of these sections also offer great views, usually at slightly more affordable rates.

Which seats would offer me the best value for money?


Rows A-g of Sections 103-14 of Level 1 offer decent views at more affordable rates. On Level 2, seats in Sections 201-202 are a great mix of affordability and good views. For the most affordable options, go for seats in Sections 203-206.
