Seating chart
Levels on the chart
- Front Orchestra
- The red block in front of the stage. These seats face the players at the shortest distance, and they are the first place to look for a close, straight-on view. Listed $356 to $2,667 on 2 concerts sampled October 25, 2026.
- Front Terrace
- The purple seats just off that front block, a step higher and to the side. Use this when Front Orchestra is gone and you still want to be close. Listed $222 to $629 on 2 concerts sampled October 25, 2026.
- Orchestra East
- The orange main-floor block along the front edge of the chart. You still face the stage, from a little farther back than Front Orchestra. Listed $212 to $705 on 2 concerts sampled October 25, 2026.
- Orchestra West
- The matching orange block on the other side of the stage. Same idea as Orchestra East, from the opposite side of the room. Listed $214 to $705 on 2 concerts sampled October 25, 2026.
- Orchestra View
- The green seats along the left of the chart. They look across the stage from the side, so the orchestra is more in profile than head-on. Listed $336 to $1,084 on 2 concerts sampled October 25, 2026.
- Terrace
- The purple column farther to the right, behind Front Terrace. It sits higher than the main floor and farther from the stage than the front blocks. Listed $131 to $667 on 2 concerts sampled October 25, 2026.
- Terrace East
- The long blue row at the bottom of the chart, behind Orchestra East. The main floor sits between these seats and the stage. Listed $131 to $561 on 2 concerts sampled October 25, 2026.
- Terrace West
- The long row at the top of the chart, behind Orchestra West. Same relationship on the other side of the room. Listed $117 to $438 on 2 concerts sampled October 25, 2026.
- Balcony
- The blue curve on the far right. It is the highest ring and the most side-on view, and it is usually where the lowest listed prices show up. Listed $100 to $445 on 2 concerts sampled October 25, 2026.

Questions
- Which seats are the best?
- Front Orchestra. It is the red block closest to the stage, and those seats face the players. Front Terrace is the next step if that block is gone.
- Which seats have the weakest view?
- Balcony and Orchestra View look at the stage from the side. Terrace East and Terrace West sit behind the main-floor blocks, so the players are farther away.
- How do I choose a level?
- Start with how you want to face the stage. Front Orchestra for straight-on and close. Orchestra East or West for the main floor at a lower listed price. A terrace level if you want to sit higher. Balcony if the listed price matters more than a front view. Then open that block on the chart and match the seat numbers to the listing.
- What is the difference between Orchestra and Terrace?
- Orchestra is the main floor wrapped around the stage. Terrace is the raised ring behind that floor. Front Terrace is the part of the ring nearest the stage.
- Why do some seats sit beside the stage?
- The hall is a vineyard room: the audience wraps the orchestra instead of sitting in one block out front. A seat beside the players is normal here. The chart color tells you which level it is.
- Do the listed prices stay the same?
- No. The range on each level comes from a sample of upcoming concerts, and a popular program lists higher than a quieter night. This page keeps that sample for 12 months. The price you pay is the one at checkout.
