Cirque du Soleil - Cat 3 Seats??

[Daydreamin]

Based on lots of good info I've read on these boards, we're probably going to do the Cirque du Soleil show when we're there in a couple of weeks.

Still lots of seats available per the CDS web site. Due to the high cost of tickets, we're trying to decide if we should go with the Category 3 seats (good only thru 3/31) to save some bucks. Seats available yet today are in section 207, AA (first row, 2nd tier of the right side of the stage). Has anyone done these seats? Are these locations really bad since they're on the side. We only save $50, so I don't want to be too cheap if the seats aren't any good.

Looking forward to hearing from all the experts out there.

I've seen La Nouba a number of times -- from the front, side, near the stage, back row, and one amazing time from the light booth -- I honestly don't think there's a bad seat in the house. You do, however, get a different view of some things (trapeze, for example) depending on where you sit. Which is why it's fun to see the show from different locations.

The Category 3 seats you mention will be great. Enjoy the show!

We saw the show in December and all I can say is WOW!

We sat right below the seats you mention, but in section 105. The theater is really small, and the seats were very good. Obviously the best seats would be in the center area to give you a total view of the stage, but the area you mention should not bad at all.

Sometimes there is so much going on you are only able to focus on some of the performers.

One bit of advice get there a little early - at least 15 minutes before showtime. The preshow is hilarious. It introduces you to two characters that are featured between acts.

Whatever you decide, it is a must see!

I booked our tickets last night. I'll post how this all turns out when we return!

Disney here we come...
