I would not do the first couple of rows, I made this mistake once. Most of the Cirque shows have flying in them, you tend to get a stiff neck too close up front.
After I made that first error, I then went centre, anything about 10th row.

I agree! I did this as well. Also avoid aisle seats as you might end up directly In front of the large poles or lightning equipment. I made that mistake our first show.

My Mom and i went to the one about the water, the pre show was so long we fell asleep before it started, I woke up like 30 min later, and woke my my mom up and said "yuo been sleeping for 30 min you want to go, she said yes"

Wow, how can you sleep? I agree though, it is long.
I just love their shows. now with this talk, I want to go.

For any Cirque show, as said, further up is best. Up close for Cirque shows is not good, even though those are the most costly seats. What show are you considering?

What show? They're all different setups.

That being said, I saw Mystère years ago in the 2nd row, although there was some weirdness where there was no printed ticket for my reservation and I had this hand-filled slip. I got close enough smell the horrendous B.O. of one of the performers coming out into the crowd, and one of the performers rubbed my hair.

We saw one of the traveling shows (crystal) and we sat in the middle row, but this place only had the 1 tier of seating. It was a great show combining ice skating and acrobatics.

Further back is better. I have seen many, many Cirque shows. You don’t want to be too close to the stage.

Isn't that arena dependent? I looked up where it has played, and it's been in everything from small 6000 seat arenas to large NBA/NHL sized buildings.
