Buell Theatre Seating Chart

Sections at Buell Theatre
The Buell Theatre 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.
- Orchestra — main floor, rows A-Z
- Mezzanine — first balcony tier
- Balcony — upper tier
- Box Seats — side boxes
- Gallery — top rows
- Accessible platforms
Best seats at Buell Theatre
Orchestra center rows H through R give the best balance of proximity and full-stage view for Broadway tours. The front of the mezzanine is a strong second choice — elevated, clear of the overhang, and central to the stage.
Tips before you go
The Buell sits in the Denver Performing Arts Complex, served by the nearby light-rail stops and the Theatre District garages. Confirm which DCPA hall hosts your show, and arrive early to navigate the complex and the will-call lines.
How to read the Buell Theatre seating chart
Buell Theatre seats 2,884 on stacked levels facing the stage, and its chart is organized into 6 named sections — Orchestra, Mezzanine, Balcony, Box Seats, Gallery, and Accessible platforms. The exact label on your ticket is what pins your spot: a seat two sections over can sit a level higher, a price tier apart, or on the opposite side of the room.
What actually separates one Buell Theatre 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 Accessible platforms and Orchestra on the chart and you'll see the spread — a different level, a different price, sometimes a different side of the Denver room. The best-seats notes above narrow it down for Buell Theatre; before buying, check the official map against your exact section, row, and seat.
Sizewise, Buell Theatre holds 2,884, which puts it 11th of 13 Colorado venues in this guide: Mission Ballroom (3,950) is the next size up, Ellie Caulkins Opera House (2,225) the next size down.
