How to read the Lied Center for Performing Arts seating chart
The Lied Center for Performing Arts chart divides 2,200 seats on stacked levels facing the stage across 6 named sections — Orchestra, Orchestra rear, Parterre and Mezzanine, Balcony, Box seats, and ADA seating. 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.
What actually separates one Lied Center for Performing Arts 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 ADA seating and Orchestra on the chart and you'll see the spread — a different level, a different price, sometimes a different side of the Lincoln room. The best-seats notes above narrow it down for Lied Center for Performing Arts; before buying, check the official map against your exact section, row, and seat.
