Brooklyn Paramount Seating Chart
The Brooklyn Paramount is a restored 1928 movie palace on the Long Island University campus, reopened in 2024 as a Live Nation concert venue. The ornate downtown Brooklyn hall blends standing general-admission floor shows with a tiered balcony under a gilded baroque ceiling.
Sections at Brooklyn Paramount
The Brooklyn Paramount chart lists 6 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.
- Floor — general admission standing for most concerts
- Orchestra — reserved floor for seated shows
- Mezzanine — first balcony tier
- Balcony — upper tier
- Boxes — side boxes
- VIP / premium areas
Best seats at Brooklyn Paramount
For seated shows, mezzanine center front rows give a commanding view of the full stage and restored ceiling. For general-admission floor concerts, arrive early and aim for the center rail a few rows back from the stage.
Tips before you go
The Brooklyn Paramount sits at the Atlantic Avenue and DeKalb subway hub, so take the train rather than driving in downtown Brooklyn. Floor shows are standing-room, so wear comfortable shoes and expect a general-admission crowd at the doors.
How to read the Brooklyn Paramount seating chart
The Brooklyn Paramount chart divides 2,700 seats on stacked levels facing the stage across 6 named sections — Floor, Orchestra, Mezzanine, Balcony, Boxes, and VIP / premium areas. 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.
Every Brooklyn Paramount seat is really the sum of three choices: how far from the stage you are, whether you sit center or off toward a side aisle, and which level you're on. Put VIP / premium areas and Floor side by side and the gap shows up immediately — in level, in price tier, and often in which half of the Brooklyn room you land in. The best-seats notes above settle it for Brooklyn Paramount; just verify section, row, and seat on the official map before you pay.
Sizewise, Brooklyn Paramount holds 2,700, which puts it 21st of 42 New York venues in this guide: Carnegie Hall (2,804) is the next size up, Proctors Theatre (2,700) the next size down.
Building a seating chart for an event at Brooklyn Paramount
If your event lands at or near Brooklyn Paramount — a corporate block, a reception, a team dinner — start from the venue's real geography: sections like Floor and VIP / premium areas and the tiers around them set the footprint. Rebuild that footprint in the maker with rounds for the dinner, rows for the program, and a head table where the format wants one, then assign guests and export a PDF for the Brooklyn event-services team. You won't need anywhere near the full 2,700-seat configuration; private blocks live in clubs, suites, and adjacent banquet rooms — exactly the scale the tool handles.
