Criss Angel performs at Planet Hollywood in the Criss Angel Theater — and where you sit here matters more than you'd think. Let's break down the seating chart and find your perfect seat for Criss Angel:
First, the lay of the land: this theater is huge. This isn't your average showroom — it's massive, so where you sit genuinely shapes how satisfying the show feels. That said, it's extremely well-built, and there are few truly "bad" seats. Some are just closer, more centered, or better angled than others.
Before we dive into specific sections, here's the quick version: the 100 level puts you closest to the stage and Criss Angel himself — best for interaction, highest price. The 200 level sits just behind, offering a slightly elevated view that many guests prefer for the full stage picture. The 300 level is the furthest back, but still delivers a clean, wide view of the entire production — and at the friendliest price. Now let's break it all down, section by section.
Section 101 sits far left of the stage — close enough to feel the energy, angled enough to catch the action from the side. You won't get the dead-center view, but you will get a front-row-adjacent experience for noticeably less than the 102 (center stage) price tag.
Because Criss Angel roams the entire stage, this section still delivers plenty of close-up moments. If you're hoping for interaction, this is a solid second choice behind 102 (center stage) — just know you may be craning slightly to follow certain illusions staged at the opposite end.
Want a dead-center view? You want tickets to Section 102 — which also makes them the most expensive and sought-after seats in the theater. Within 102, Row A is the gold standard. But the very, very best seats for Criss Angel? Section 102, Row A, seats 4 through 9. You simply can't get closer to Criss Angel than this — and trust us, you'll be close.
Section 102 is also where Criss Angel tends to interact the most with the audience — pulling guests on stage, cracking jokes with the front rows, and picking volunteers. If you want to be part of the show rather than just watch it, this is where you sit.
Section 103 mirrors 101 on the opposite side — far right of the stage, close to the action, and priced more reasonably than the dead-center seats. It's a smart pick if you want a front-level experience without paying the 102 premium.
Some of Criss Angel's biggest illusions are staged toward stage right, so 103 occasionally gets a better angle than 101 on the show's biggest moments. If you're torn between the two side sections, 103 has a slight edge — but honestly, both deliver a great night.
Section 201 sits directly behind 101, slightly elevated — and that extra height changes everything. You get a fuller view of the stage floor, the set pieces, and the choreography that guests in the front row simply miss. For many repeat visitors, this is the sweet spot in the 200 level.
Bonus: 201 avoids the sound-booth distraction that plagues 202, and the angled sightline means you can track Criss Angel wherever he moves on stage. If you want elevated sightlines without paying the 100-level premium, put this section on your shortlist.
Section 202 sits dead-center behind 102 — which sounds perfect until you learn the show's sound equipment and engineers operate out of this section. For most guests, it's a non-issue. For others, the activity and equipment can pull focus from the performance.
If you book 202, aim for the higher rows where the sound booth won't interrupt your sightline or your concentration. Center-stage view, yes — but the front rows here come with a tradeoff. If you want center without the compromise, consider 201 or 203 instead.
If you're picking the 200s, aim for the front rows of 203 — or 201, if it's available. You're close enough to feel the energy, high enough to see the whole stage, and far enough from the sound booth in 202 to stay fully in the moment.
This is the seat most guests leave wishing they'd booked the first time. Elevated enough for the full picture, close enough for the interaction — and priced well below the 100 level. If you're only going to see Criss Angel once, this is where your money goes furthest.
Section 300 seats are only available when the theater is in high demand — otherwise, they're closed off. These are what most people call the "nosebleeds," but don't dismiss them. They offer a clean, wide view of the entire stage, and seats here are the least expensive in the house.
Honestly? They're completely acceptable, genuinely good seats, and some guests prefer sitting higher up to take in the full scale of the production — every illusion, every set piece, every reveal — without craning their neck. If budget matters and you still want a great show, this is your move.
For the best of the 300s, grab Section 302 — the center section — and aim for the middle rows. You'll get a straight-on, full-stage view at the friendliest price in the theater.
