Here's What You Get with Section 405 at Wizard of Oz
Hey there! Looking at tickets in Section 405 for The Wizard of Oz? Good call. It’s one of those sweet spots that gives you a fantastic view without the fuss. Let me walk you through what makes it special and how it stacks up against its neighbors.
The View from Section 405: Why It Shines
You’re going to love the view from here. It’s simple: you’re up high in the 400s, just a hair to the left of dead center. This is actually the perfect recipe for seeing The Sphere the way it was meant to be seen.
- The Full Picture: From this height, you get the complete, wrap-around view. The Yellow Brick Road won’t look crooked, and you can take in the entire Emerald City in one glance. It’s the ideal “director’s seat” for the movie.
- Comfort is Key: You’re looking straight ahead at the screen, not craning your neck up from the lower levels. You can sit back, relax, and let the movie wash over you.
- Total Immersion: The screen fills your entire field of vision. You’ll feel like you’ve stepped into Oz, not just watched it.

The Apple Drop Reality Check
Let’s talk about the famous foam apples. You’ll feel all the wind and smell the scents up here, but the actual apples are targeted more at the center of the 200 and 300 levels. Your odds of catching one in Section 405 are pretty low. So, come for the incredible view, not the souvenir.
How Does Section 405 Compare to 404 and 406?
This is where it gets interesting. Choosing between 404, 405, and 406 is like picking between three great flavors of ice cream—they’re all good, but with a slight twist.
- Section 405 vs. Section 404: Section 404 is to your left. The main difference is that 405 is more centered. In 404, you’ll start to notice the screen curving away on your left side a bit more. In 405, that “wrapped” feeling is more symmetrical and balanced. If you have a choice, 405 usually gives you a slightly more classic, postcard-perfect view.
- Section 405 vs. Section 406: This is the big sibling rivalry. Sphere Section 406 is the absolute dead center of the 400s. The view from 405 is nearly identical—seriously, you’d be hard-pressed to tell the difference once the show starts. The real difference is in your wallet: tickets for 405 are often a bit cheaper than for 406. You’re getting 99% of the same amazing experience for less money, which makes 405 a seriously smart pick.
Think of it this way: 405 is the best friend of the perfect center seat. You get all the same jokes and have just as much fun, but you paid less for the drink.
Picking Your Perfect Row
Once you’ve picked 405, which row should you grab?
- Rows 1-7: Feel more “in it.” You’re closer to the screen, which is cool, but remember the 400s are steep. If heights bother you, maybe go a few rows back.
- Rows 8-15 (My Top Pick): The goldilocks zone. High enough for the perfect panorama, close enough to feel totally immersed. You really can’t go wrong here.
- Rows 16+: The budget-friendly heroes. The view is still stunning and completely unobstructed. A fantastic way to experience The Sphere without breaking the bank.

The Final Word: Is Section 405 Right For You?
You’re going to have an amazing time in Section 405 if:
- You want that perfect, high-up, panoramic view of the whole movie.
- You appreciate a great deal and don’t need to pay extra for the absolute center seat.
- You want to be comfortable and enjoy the show without any neck strain.
- You’re okay with admiring the apple drop from afar instead of catching one.
Consider a different section if:
- You MUST catch an apple (look at center 200s/300s).
- You get dizzy easily with heights (the 400s are steep!).
- Money is no object and you insist on the very center line (hello, Section 406).
Honestly, Section 405 is one of the best values in the house. It gives you everything that makes The Sphere incredible—the awe, the immersion, the comfort—at a price that often feels like a bit of a secret. It’s a choice you can feel really good about.
