Editorial verdict
FanProof Takeaway
Reviewed 8.8.26
Choose between Orchestra and Mezzanine with stair access in mind, not just price: the Mezzanine has no elevator access. Take Line 1 to Dundas when practical, and use the 244 Victoria Street entrance if anyone needs the wheelchair lift or accessible Orchestra seating.
