Cirque du Soleil

Postby Sandramay » Thu Feb 14, 2008 11:34 pm

If you have never seen the Cirque du Soleil, it is a wonderful evening's entertainment. It is going to be in Malaga June 5th-July 13th. Tickets went on sale yesterday. No animals used. Skill and artistry. It's mimed, so no language barriers :)

Hi
How much are tickets please?

I cant seem to find that info on the website as it says tickets only available for Cirque du Soleil members?

Thanks

About €70 each for members. It will be more for non members.
Cirque del Soliel shows are not cheap. High quality and expensive.
Cheers

Thanks Gerry

My Auntie (youngish Auntie!) is over for her birthday at the time the circus is on and I was thinking of treating her, but at those prices, she'll be having a menu del dia at one of the nicer ventas locally instead !!

hey ho!!

Hi, hope the following info will help

'This special presale opportunity is offered to you until February 14 when tickets will be released to the general public.'
You can register as a member on line but the tickets are now available.

The prices range from €25,35,45, 63 and 70. when you book you can see the layout and choose the seat according to funds available. I bought the best tickets and still felt it was excellent value for money. I took a protesting husband to see the show, and he needed no encouragement to join the enthusiastic audience in a standing ovation. Downside.......... sore hands from all the clapping :lol:

It is worth noting that the vast majority of the seats are in the €70 price.
The others have increasingly restricted views as the price gets lower.
I would find it very frustrating if I had a restricted view seat given the quality of the show.

I suppose it's a case of you get what you pay for. However whilst I do agree with gerryh to a certain extent, I still think people would get value for money and enjoyment. The action is all around, in the air and even amongst the audience, not just on a stage. There is always something going on somewhere. Obviously, with a BigTop, and acrobats equipment to support there are bound to be some poles. (small p :)
Their booking system is very transparent and people can decide according to their means/needs. As the shows are invariably 'sellouts' I can't believe nearly half the audience go home disappointed or frustrated.
By the way I am not an agent for Cirque du Soleil :wink:

Quidam is a very different show to Dralium.
Seen Dralium in Malaga last year, seen Quidam a few years ago in Manchester.
Much preferred Dralium.
Just my opinion

Went last night. Awesome! Had €63 tix (€65 bought from El Corte Ingles).
Worth every last centimo. I think even the seats at the very back would afford a perfectly good view. It appeared that there were still some seats available, and tickets were being sold outside before the show. If you've never seen it, GO! I'm still on a high today. :lol:
Parking is easy, but expect long queues when leaving, especially if returning to the western CDS.
Don't worry about what people think, they don't do it very often

Went to the permanently established Cirque de Soleil in Downtown Disney in Disney World near Orlando Florida in Feb. '07. Tickets cost over $100 US. I was not amused by the cost. But I thoroughly enjoyed it. My wife enjoyed it so much that when my sister arrived from Holland for a visit, she immediately arranged to take my sister to a performance. She, too, was thrilled

Then last fall, one of the touring companies of Cirque was here in Ottawa. We had to go. It was marginally cheaper than in Florida. It was, of course, a different show, but every bit as enjoyable.

And I am not making this endorsement because I am Canadian, and so is the Cirque. Go. You will enjoy it.

Worth every euro

Postby malagabob » Sun Jun 29, 2008 12:12 pm

Myself and the wife went to see the show last Wed,its worth every euro. Will be in Benidorm August so am planning to see the show again in Alacant while we are there.
Got Taxi from Malaga RENFE but didnt make a note of taxi number.No taxis outside at end of show took us about half hour walk back to station.
But we didnt notice the walk as we were chatting about what we had seen.
Brill show!!

Yep

Saw it Wednesday and loved every minute. Wish I was young enough to run away and join the circus , as that is one I would love to be part of. Do know someone (when the Cirque first started up) who did , but he was a ballet dancer, so was one up on all of us!
