Abravanel Hall Seating Chart

Sections at Abravanel Hall

Abravanel Hall's seating bowl is organized into the following main sections. Section layout differs by event — a sports configuration and a concert configuration of the same arena are not the same chart.

• 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

Best seats at Abravanel Hall

Center main-floor rows roughly a third back hit the shoebox hall's acoustic sweet spot for the Utah Symphony. The first tier center delivers a commanding view of the orchestra with rich, even sound.

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

Abravanel Hall seats 2,768 on stacked levels facing the stage, so reading the chart means thinking in tiers rather than rings. The orchestra — the main floor — sits closest to the stage; above it the mezzanine and then the balcony step back and up, and box seats line the sides. Lower row letters are nearer the stage, center sections face it square on, and side sections trade a straight view for a lower price.

Three things decide a Abravanel Hall seat: how far from the stage you are, whether you sit center or off toward a side aisle, and which level you are on. For a theater this size, the value sweet spot is usually the front of the mezzanine at center — an unobstructed, elevated view of the whole stage without orchestra-row prices. Watch for overhang and any "partial view" note on your seat, and cross-check the official Abravanel Hall map before you buy.
