The Abravanel Hall chart lists 5 main sections, and the one on your ticket does most of the deciding — price, distance, and view included. Scan the list before you buy, keeping in mind that the event type reshuffles the room: concerts, games, and private buyouts each open different parts of the house.
- Main floor — orchestra-level center and side sections
- First Tier — front balcony overlooking the floor
- Second Tier — middle balcony
- Third Tier — upper balcony, highest rows
- Choral seats — risers behind the stage

Tips before you go
The hall sits on the downtown arts block near Temple Square, with TRAX light rail stopping close by. The choral seats behind the stage offer an unusual perspective and a budget price for orchestral programs. The Salt Palace garages are steps away.
How to read the Abravanel Hall seating chart
The Abravanel Hall chart divides 2,768 seats on stacked levels facing the stage across 5 named sections — Main floor, First Tier, Second Tier, Third Tier, and Choral seats. Which of those names is printed on your ticket decides more than location: two sections apart can mean a different level, a different price bracket, and a different side of the room entirely.
What actually separates one Abravanel Hall seat from another comes down to three things: how far from the stage you are, whether you sit center or off toward a side aisle, and which level you're on. Compare Choral seats and Main floor on the chart and you'll see the spread — a different level, a different price, sometimes a different side of the Salt Lake City room. The best-seats notes above narrow it down for Abravanel Hall; before buying, check the official map against your exact section, row, and seat.
For scale: at 2,768 seats, Abravanel Hall ranks 5th of the 5 Utah venues in this guide by capacity — it's the most intimate of the set — Delta Center (18,306) is the next step up.
