Explore the Lyric Opera House - IL seating chart section by section and choose where you want to be for Joffrey Ballet: The Nutcracker. About 555 tickets are listed for this date right now, starting about $66.00. Listings are posted by independent sellers who each set their own price, which is why one section can show very different figures and the odd outlier well above the rest. Set your budget with the price filter, and weigh a lower-level seat against a better-value one higher up.

Prices in the seat map are per ticket and set by professional resellers, so they can land above or below face value. The booking fee is already included in the listing price. Any applicable tax is added at checkout, and a small number of listings add a delivery charge, so check the order total before you pay. Any "from" figure elsewhere on this page is an estimated starting point drawn from the catalog feed, not an amount you can necessarily buy at. The seat map is what shows real, buyable prices.
