Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall Seating Guide - Oregon Symphony: Mahler 3

Best Value Tickets (Under $50)

Upper Balcony (A-F): Rows V-Z at $38-48 offer the most affordable way to experience the symphony. While higher up, the hall's acoustics ensure clear sound. Best value: Upper Balcony A Row V ($38) with slightly better side views than sections C/E.
Orchestra D Row BB: At $39, these center-rear orchestra seats provide excellent sound projection for Mahler's complex arrangements.

Sweet Spot Tickets ($50-100)

Lower Balcony (A-F): Rows O-T ($63-95) - Closer than Upper Balcony with better sightlines to the full orchestra. Section A Row R ($66) avoids extreme side angles.
Orchestra B/C: Rows BB-JJ ($48-91) - Mid-orchestra positions offer ideal balance between price and proximity. Orchestra C Row DD ($49) is particularly well-priced for center-left seating.
Balcony AA: Front row of first balcony tier ($71-75) provides elevated perspective perfect for watching conductor David Danzmayr's technique.

Premium Seating ($100-200)

Mezzanine: Rows F-M ($105-168) - The signature "Schnitzer sound" shines here. Upper Mezzanine E Row L ($105) delivers excellent acoustics for Mahler's dynamic range.
Dress Circle: Rows B-D ($152-208) - Closest premium seats to stage with unparalleled sightlines. Dress Circle E Row B ($152) places you directly above the string section.

View Considerations

Upper Balcony: Steep angle means you'll see mostly the tops of instruments - best for pure listening. Avoid extreme side sections (E/F) for choral works like Mahler 3.
Orchestra Rear: Rows BB-HH allow you to see the full string section bowing in unison - magical for symphonic works.
Lower Balcony: Perfect for watching percussion and brass sections which feature prominently in Mahler.
Dress Circle: The only seats where you can clearly see both the conductor's expressions and the full orchestra layout.

Our Top Recommendations

Acoustic Notes for Mahler 3

The Schnitzer's warm acoustics particularly favor Mahler's large orchestration. For this 90+ minute symphony with off-stage brass and chorus:

Mezzanine seats (E/F) provide ideal balance between the on-stage orchestra and rear chorus
Orchestra rows HH-JJ let you feel the double basses' rumble in the low passages
Avoid extreme side seats (Upper Balcony E/F) as you may miss some off-stage effects
