Most immersive: Premium center—roughly mid-house depth gives eye-level views of table work and the recap finale
Best value: Preferred mid-center—nearly the same sightlines as Premium at a friendlier price
Laid-back & comfy: Rear Tables/Booths—more elbow room, good view of the IMAG screens, lowest volunteer odds
Side sections: still solid thanks to stadium rake; center-line just reads a touch cleaner for misdirection beats

Mat Franco is so personable and creative. His tricks felt fresh and original, and the audience loved every moment.
