The Factory Seating Chart
The Factory is a modern concert venue in Chesterfield, west of St. Louis, with a flexible floor that shifts between standing-room and seated layouts. Opened in 2019, it has become a leading suburban stop for touring concerts and comedy in the metro area.
Sections at The Factory
The Factory'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.
- GA floor — standing-room area at the stage for many shows
- Reserved floor — seated rows when the show is all-seated
- Lower mezzanine — front elevated sections
- Upper mezzanine — top rows farthest from the stage
- Loge boxes near the mezzanine front
- VIP areas near the stage
Best seats at The Factory
For standing shows, arrive early and aim for the rail at the front of the GA floor. For seated nights, the front of the lower mezzanine gives a clean elevated view straight at the stage above the floor crowd.
Tips before you go
On-site parking at the District development is convenient, with restaurants and bars steps away for a pre-show meal. The floor layout changes per show, so confirm your ticket type, and arriving early helps you settle in before the opener.
How to read the The Factory seating chart
The Factory seats 3,000 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 The Factory 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 The Factory map before you buy.
Building a seating chart for an event at The Factory
Hosting a suite night, a group outing, or a private event in the Chesterfield area? A seating chart keeps the group organized before you ever reach the gates. Map your party onto tables that mirror the suite or section layout, assign each guest a spot, and export a PDF so everyone knows where they sit. For a private event in a banquet space near The Factory, the same tool lays out rounds, banquet tables, and head tables, then prints a chart the venue's event-services team can work from. Capacity at The Factory runs to 3,000 for its main configuration, but most private events use a fraction of that in a club, suite, or adjacent hospitality space — exactly the scale the maker below is built for.
Hosting a private event at The Factory?
Build your own seating chart for the event — banquet rounds for the dinner portion, theater rows for the program, whatever the format calls for. The Seat Chart App maker handles layouts up to 500 seats and exports a print-ready PDF to share with the venue's event team.
