@@THE-X-Force Live here in Vegas and have gone to go see it.

The show itself is around 50 minutes to an hour in length so not a very long showing but still amazing for what it is. That being said, most tickets are around 150 when I was checking for good times and good days. We went on a Sunday night at 9:30pm and that is how we got the cheaper tickets. We sat in section 204. From what I hear, the 200s and the 300s are the best sections to be in. We sat toward the left side and did not feel like sitting in the middle would have been that much better. The screen is massive and you don’t really remember where you are sitting. Hope that helps
