Old National Centre Seating Chart
A historic Indianapolis venue inside the 1909 Murat Shrine building, combining the Murat Theatre, the Egyptian Room, and smaller halls under one roof. The ornate Murat Theatre books concerts, comedy, and Broadway tours, with a classic orchestra-and-balcony layout that anchors the downtown live-music scene.
Sections at Old National Centre
Old National Centre's seating bowl is organized into the following main sections. Section layout differs by event — a sports configuration and a concert configuration of the same arena are not the same chart.
- Orchestra — main floor closest to the stage
- Orchestra rear — back rows of the main floor
- Mezzanine — first balcony level
- Balcony — upper tier
- Box seats — premium side positions
- ADA seating — accessible positions along the orchestra
Best seats at Old National Centre
Center orchestra rows about a third of the way back give the best mix of proximity and full-stage view in the Murat Theatre. The mezzanine front row is a strong pick, with a clean head-on sightline above the floor.
Tips before you go
The complex holds several rooms, so confirm whether your ticket lists the Murat Theatre or the Egyptian Room before you arrive. Downtown garages a short walk off are easier than the closest lots, which fill quickly on show nights.
How to read the Old National Centre seating chart
Old National Centre seats 2,500 on stacked levels facing the stage, so reading the chart means thinking in tiers rather than rings. The orchestra — the main floor — sits closest to the stage; above it the mezzanine and then the balcony step back and up, and box seats line the sides. Lower row letters are nearer the stage, center sections face it square on, and side sections trade a straight view for a lower price.
Three things decide a Old National Centre seat: how far from the stage you are, whether you sit center or off toward a side aisle, and which level you are on. For a theater this size, the value sweet spot is usually the front of the mezzanine at center — an unobstructed, elevated view of the whole stage without orchestra-row prices. Watch for overhang and any "partial view" note on your seat, and cross-check the official Old National Centre map before you buy.
