Best seats at Bergen Performing Arts Center

bergenPAC doesn't name best seats, but its chart shows the trade-offs. On the orchestra map, a production area takes the center of rows Z to DD, and the chart marks the upper-level overhang from about row Q to the back. The building has no elevator, so the mezzanine and balcony are reached by stairs only. Every orchestra seat can be reached without stairs.

Tips before you go

Park in the South Dean Parking Garage at 28 South Dean Street, which the parking page says is free after 6 pm Monday to Saturday and all day Sunday. Don't park in the ShopRite lot, because cars there are towed. From New York, the 166 Local bus from Port Authority stops at Palisade Avenue and North Van Brunt Street. Backpacks and large bags aren't allowed, there's no coat check, and children 12 months and older need a ticket.

How to read the Bergen Performing Arts Center seating chart

In the orchestra, rows AT, BT and CT sit in front of row A, and the rows run back through Z and then AA to DD, with no row I. In rows A to Y, the center seats run 101 to 112, and the left side section uses even numbers while the right side uses odd numbers.

Upstairs, the mezzanine uses rows A to J and the balcony continues with rows K to V. Every one of those row letters is also used in the orchestra, so read the level on your ticket first.

Accessible seats must be booked through the Box Office, and the wheelchair spots are at the back of the orchestra in rows CC and DD. Seats with adjustable arms sit at the outer ends of rows E, P and Z and are also reserved through the Box Office. Listening devices come from the house managers.
