This weekend only Cirque du Soleil Crystal is in Philadelphia. From the acrobats to the amazing artistry, this is a must see for all ages. The show is at the Wells Fargo Center. So what do you need to know before you go?
Parking for Cirque du Soleil Crystal
In Philadelphia you can use an app or browser for SpotHero. I went to the show on Friday. The price on SpotHero was 35 and at the show it was $30. Normally SpotHero is on point. I would suggest getting parking once you are on the premises. Also normally at the Wells Fargo the exit out of the parking lot is extensive. Rbis one wasn’t. We were out in 5 minutes. Either way practice some patience just in case it’s not the same for you and your family. Also you can use SpotHero in many cities not just Philadelphia fyi!
Before the Show Logistics
You will need to go through metal decorators. This is for the safety for all. So If you have anything of discrepancy leave it at home. I would suggest getting to the show and be parked at least 30 minutes before the show. We left our house 45 minutes before she show. That gave us 15 minutes to get there and parking. We live about 10 minutes away. There are options for food and drink. The lines are heavy but not impossible. If you desire to eat or drink before the show add about another 30 minutes of arrival time.
Recording of Cirque du Soleil Crystal and Flash Photography
It’s strictly prohibited. You can take still shots that’s not using flash but that’s it. There are several signs as you go to sit down. However like people who don’t listen I observed people recording the whole show. Don’t do it. Be mindful of those around you. Enjoy the show and the memories. Even as I was invited as media personnel and could have recorded but I didn’t. I didn’t want those around me who wasn’t media to do the same and use me as their reason. Had I been in full press seating I would have grabbed snippets to use as advertisements since we were invited guest.
Seating for Cirque du Soleil Crystal
I sat in section 106. That’s facing the front and to me the best section to be in. Keep in mind sitting up in row 11 was perfection for us. Closer to the ground will cause you to look up. The middle where we were was absolutely perfection for seats. However to be honest, Wells Fargo seating will be good depending on your goals. If you want to see really well or have others who have issues seeing get them closer.
Little Kids for Cirque du Soleil Crystal
My youngest is 8 years old. There’s not a lot of dialogue in the show. So there was often times I had to explain what happened. It was fine. Smaller kids may not even pay attention to what is being done and may only pay attention to the acrobats and stunts. That’s fine for them. This show will have points in places for everyone. Talking is fine just don’t bother those nearest you.
Cirque du Soleil Souvenirs
Like all shows there are souvenirs you can purchase. You can purchase before, during or after the show. I saw it was actually easier to get before the show than at the end. Delegate if you can one person to get the souvenirs while everyone else goes ahead if you have a big crowd. If it’s just you and another person add about 10 minutes to your arrival time. You can definitely get souvenirs, food, and drink and seat comfortably before the start of the show.
The show is riveting. It’s absolutely amazing in every way. We had a big day yesterday and we went on Friday. They are still talking about it. Memories were made. It was good to be back at the Wells Fargo Center. This was our first show since the pandemic. We did attend their skating outing a year ago. Thank you to Cirque du Soleil, Wells Fargo Center, and Bryan Buttler Media Relations for having us.
Today’s show is available at 1 and 5pm! Let me know how you like it! Get your tickets!
