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.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"tab-con-4\">Level 2<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"4\">Which seats would offer me the best views?<\/h2>\n<p>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. Seats in Rows AA-BB of Sections 103-104 offer decent views as well. On Level 2, Section 200 will give you the clearest views of the stage. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"5\">Which seats would offer me the best value for money?<\/h2>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"7\">Frequently asked questions about the Big Top seating chart<\/h2>\n<p> [tcb-script]var poster = [3023];const venueId = &#8220;396&#8221;;[\/tcb-script]   <\/p>\n<h4><strong>How many seats can Cirque du Soleil&#8217;s Big Top hold?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/p>\n<p> The tent can accommodate between 2,000 &#8211; 3,000 seats. It&#8217;s seating is generally split across 11 sections on two levels.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Which seats offer the best view of the stage in the Big Top seating chart?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/p>\n<p> There are usually no bad seats under the Big Top. If you&#8217;re after the most immersive experience, seats in Sections 101-102 of Level 1 are the best option, particularly in the front few rows. For an equally remarkable view at slightly more affordable rates, try seats in Section 200 of Level 2.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Which seat offers the best value for money in the Big Top seating chart?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/p>\n<p>Side and rear seats on both levels are generally more affordable. The angled seating might cause inor sightline restrictions during some parts of the show, but since Cirque shows are dynamic and rarely face one direction, you&#8217;ll miss very little. Seats in Sections 103-104 on Level 1 and 203-206 on Level 2 tend to be much more affordable than middle seats.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Does the Big Top have accessible seating options?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The seating is raked and thus features plenty of steps. But Cirque shows are made accessible thanks to ramps, platforms, handrails, designated wheelchair and companion seats with step-free access, accessible restrooms, audiovisual assistance, and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This guide on Cirque du Soleil&#8217;s Big Top seating chart will help you find good seats in the house &#8211; both in terms of the view and value for money.
