Where Are The Best Value Tickets To Wicked In The Theatre?

This depends on whether you prefer to sit in the stalls looking directly at the stage, or one level up in the circle looking down from an elevated position.

Tickets are more expensive in the stalls the further towards the middle you get. Row Q offers good value for consumers in all price bands as it is situated not too far from the stage with a corridor directly in front that provides a guaranteed clear view.

In the circle, good value can be found in central seats from row F and back for midweek performances, and occasionally at weekends during quiet periods and off-peak performances.
