| | | Cirque du Soleil VAREKAI discounted tickets
Hello all, I hope I am posting in the right place... mods please feel free to move it if you want.
CIRQUE DU SOLEIL are finishing up their VAREKAI tour in Zürich on October 24th. They are selling tickets up to 50% discount for the last few shows.
Area 1 Tickets 30% discount - Area 2 Tickets 40% discount - Area 3 Tickets 50% discount.
I just purchased two tickets for 87.50 CHF each instead of 125 CHF this is the highest discounted area possible. The lowest (but by far means not the worst as if you have ever been to a show you can really see from everywhere) price area tickets are going for 27,50 CHF instead of 55 CHF! www.cirquedusoleil.com/goodbyezurich - this is the link for the discounted tickets. THIS is the regular link if you want to compare regular prices.
I have only heard VERY GOOD THINGS about this show.
Enjoy

oh yes forgot to mention... I have been advised that if you do purchase tickets that you should not expect to get any food at or anywhere near the venue.
They have drinks, popcorn and suspicious looking hotdog like things but otherwise that is it.

oh yes, I forgot to mention the website with the discount tickets is in German.. just click on JETZT BUCHEN then at the bottom right hand side of the next page you can click on ENGLISH. Pick the number of tickets you want then click on the area you want to sit in... then you can click on the actual seats you want to book. Very user friendly website. |

I can confirm it's a great show.
I had first row tickets and went with my 6 yo daughter. while we could almost hear and feel the artists breathing in the first row, one gets to see more of the show if you sit further back. best rows are probably mid section. here it's not that because you have the most expensive seats you will see more. it's like the first row in a movie theatre.
nevertheless, again it's a great show, irrespective of where you end up sitting.
there is a kind of a burger stand close by the vnue, but otherwise it's popcorn and ice cream and sodas.

Yes, I agree. I took my wife to the show in Chicago four years ago and payed throught the nose for front row a bit to the side. Couldn't really see a lot of acrobatics, etc. | Quote: | |  | | | I can confirm it's a great show.

Just got discounted tickets for the last Friday of the show. I saw a couple of other Cirque du Soleil shows before, and always left quite impressed. Thanks for the heads-up on the discount link, saved me a bunch of chuffs.

Thanks very much for the heads up. I had avoided due to the high prices, but at this price it will be very much worth it.
I don't think I've seen them at a main show, which is embarassing for a Canadian. I saw them before they became famous at some public performance and more recently at the Montreal Jazz Festival, which was amazing.
Hard to believe a circus founder could become a billionaire and fly into space.

My friend in Vancouver warned me not to get front row seats. It wasn't due to flying sweat or being pulled on as a volunteer; she still has me guessing why.
