  • 2nd-floor front rows, especially toward the sides of the stage, are the most recommended seats for a balance of distance and full-stage view. Many of them go to invitation seats, so they are hard to get.
  • With the usual end-stage setup, 1st-floor side seats are often closer to the stage than 1st-floor center seats, and you can watch without relying on the screens. This depends on where the stage is placed for each show.

Stage layout differs for every show, so check the seat map on the ticket page before you choose.

Plan B: taxi. After a big show taxis near the gate are hard to get — walk a few streets away first, or set the destination in a taxi app (Kakao T, Uber). A late-night surcharge applies.

Going back by taxi (rough fares)

By taxi

  • Right after the show the taxi queue at the venue is long: walk one or two blocks to a main road, or wait 20–30 minutes.
  • Apps: K.ride (Kakao’s app for visitors, overseas cards, no Korean phone number needed) or Kakao T (choose “pay the driver”). Uber shows UT taxis, but fewer drivers use it.
  • Most taxis take cards and T-money; keep some cash as a backup.
