Where are the best seats?
- I strongly recommend you get seats in one of the following sections:
- VIP: 101 or 102 (see below)
- A Reserve: 200. 201 or 202
- Click here for seating map
- Any other sections will give you a skewed view from the side no matter how close to the stage you are.
Getting seats in VIP
- There are sometimes opportunities to purchase unsold seats in VIP Sections 101 and 102 at A Reserve prices ($89-109 + booking fee)
- The tickets are released as SEATS ONLY without the rest of the Tapis Rouge VIP package (food, drink, programme, parking CD, etc)
- The full Tapis Rouge VIP package costs $250 per person
- Ticket releases occur periodically close to the performance date (usually 1-3 weeks)
- There is no set release schedule so it's really a bit of luck if you can get your hands on some of these seats
Varekai presale
- Presale ends April 30 - ie. tickets are released to the general public
- Preale only valid for shows between June 5 to June 19
- The presale booking page can be accessed here
- Or try the Cirque du Soleil booking line: 1300 130 300
- Presale passwords: try "forest" or "angel" or "member"
Advice
"Don't wait too long..." - Madeleine Peyroux
- If you want to take more than a group of 4, please don't keep waiting for more people before you book
- Don't try to stick everyone in one massive line.
- Get the best seats you can in blocks of 2 - 6 seats.
- Socialise before/after or during interval
- No point getting everyone bad seats when:
- You probably won't talk during the show anyway
- If you do, you'll only know the two people either side
