Cirque categories and seating

[lilpritch04]

DH would like to go to Cirque du Soleil on our HM, but I have a few questions about the pricing categories and seating.
There are 3 categories $85/73/59 and I would like to know if I will be really disappointed with our seats if we buy the Category 3 tickets for $59pp??? We saw Allegria in MN and we sat near the back, which looks like a Category 2 seat and we had a great view. I'm not sure how the set up compares. Has anyone sat in 2 or 3 and been able to fully enjoy the show? What do you recommend--we are on a budget. Also, how much leg room is there? DH is 6'9" and I am hoping to get aisle seats at least.
Thanks for your help!

I don't think you'll have a problem viewing the show from anywhere. Dh and I went in January, and had first row seating in a Category 2 section. I would have much preferred to sit higher up, as a lot of the show takes place in the air. I'd call and request to sit in the first row of the Category 3 section on the end. That way your dh would have lots of leg room.

I have included a link to cirque's seating plan: http://www.cirquedusoleil.com/CirqueDuSoleil/en/tickets/resident/lanouba/seatingplan.htm
I think you would be happy with Category 2 seats. There are very few bad seats in the house, and it's actually better sitting in the upper tier. Oh, by the way, I don't think you can request specific seats over the phone; you can only do that at the box office window. We have Cat. 2 seats for this Friday's performance, and were looking forward to it!

There may be a few things going on onstage that would be back far enough to miss from a cat3 seat, but nothing of any importance.

For La Nouba, the back sections actually do provide a great view, considering so much of the action is above you.
