cirque du soleil tent seating
 
Hello. I am going to see the traveling Cirque show Varekai in Philadelphia in the fall. Can anyone recommend seating? I have a chance to get 2nd row seats but don't know if that's too close. Thanks!

Just saw the show...fabulous. We had the first seats at the second price level. Excellent. The top price seats they offered us were in rows 1 and 2, on the side. If ww wanted center, we'd have to sit near the back. If your neck will bother you sitting so close, don't take those seats.

Thanks, Fab. Is the stage raised? I guess I was thinking of the usual circus tent where you are on the same level or above in bleachers.

Annie, I would say the first several rows ARE too close. Try to be 5-10 rows away from the stage if you have a choice.

I would recommend a farther seat for any Cirque show.<BR><BR>There is always so much going on at the stage. You don't want to miss it by being too close!<BR><BR>I prefer a seat where I can see everything. That's just me.<BR><BR>
