Mystere seating
 
I'm finding tickets at $80+/ticket. Are most of the seats reasonably good? We need 4, so the $$$ mount up! <BR> <BR>LaNouba has a site where you can choose seating online as you order, but I haven't found the same for Mystere. Anyone know of something similar for Mystere?

Anyone? Any advice or comments on seating and obtaining tickets for Mystere? How far in advance? Good seats/bad seats? Good websites for purchase?

You would get a better response if you posted this under Nevada.

its been a year since we booked by phone and enjoyed the show. my recollection of the theatre was - no bad seats. surprisingly, you might want to ask for "upper" bowl, so you don't miss performers on the mezzanine walkway. enjoy

We saw Mystere in March and I think all the seats were good. We called the theatre directly. I would order tickets at least a couple of weeks in advance especially if you need four together.

Olive: <BR>The theater is a sort of bowl configuration and most any seat is a good seat. In fact, there is no 'best' seat in my opinion; since some of the acts take place overhead, the front row/lower level seats have a poorer view of these parts of the show, while rear seats allow a better view. Most of the action takes place on the stage, however, so seats closer to the front will afford a closer view of a larger percentage of the events. But personally I think the front 5-8 rows are a bit too close. Center about 10 rows back would be ideal.

Thanks all for your help with seating info. After reading about your contacting them directly, I found their site through http://www.treasureisland.com (which hadn't come up with my search engine last night). <BR> <BR>There was an online order form, including seating diagram, which unfortunately wouldn't go through on completion, so I ended up calling, but having filled out the entire form, knew all the options available so it was quick and easy. The direct contact with them via phone or online also saved the service charge of $30 something I was finding on various ticketing sites last night. <BR> <BR>The seating arrangement in the theater looks identical to what it was at LaNouba and our seats are comparable to our location there, so they should be fine. Thanks again for your help!

I have seen Mystere twice. The first time I was in the last row of the front "half" of the house. The seats were great. This last time we were in the second row right down front and center. I much preferred those seats, but I realize that maybe not everyone else would. I enjoyed really seeing the expressions on the faces of the actors (and yes, they are actors -- not merely "acrobats" or "clowns"). I did have to turn around in my seat for the couple of things behind us and way overhead, but that was minor. We always book by calling the theatre in Treasure Island and booking direct. They are very good at telling you the best seats available.
