- Box seats — side boxes near the stage

Center orchestra rows H through N are the prime touring-show seats, centered on the proscenium at stage level. The front of the Loge gives a clear, elevated full-stage view and is often the smarter value.
Tips before you go
Clowes sits on the Butler campus, so follow event parking signs and allow time for the walk in. The two-balcony layout keeps sightlines clean, though the upper balcony is steep. Campus lots near the hall handle most parking on show nights.
How to read the Clowes Memorial Hall seating chart
Clowes Memorial Hall seats 2,200 on stacked levels facing the stage, and its chart is organized into 4 named sections — Orchestra, Loge, Balcony, and Box seats. 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.
Three things decide a Clowes Memorial Hall seat: how far from the stage you are, whether you sit center or off toward a side aisle, and which level you're on. Two sections apart — say Box seats and Orchestra — can put you a level higher, a price tier over, or on the far side of the Indianapolis venue, so which one is the value sweet spot comes down to the event and your budget; the best-seats notes above call it for Clowes Memorial Hall. Match your ticket to the official Clowes Memorial Hall map — section, row, and seat — before you buy.
