TicketHold | Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall Seating Chart & Seat Views Guide

Discover the Best Seats at Portland’s Iconic Venue

The Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, a historic gem in Portland, Oregon, is renowned for its stunning architecture and world-class acoustics. Hosting everything from symphony performances to rock concerts, this venue offers a diverse range of seating options. Here’s your complete guide to navigating its seating chart and choosing the perfect spot for your next event.

Seating Chart Overview

Orchestra Level (Floor): Closest to the stage, offering unbeatable views for concerts but may lack elevation for orchestral events. Rows A–M are premium, while rear rows (N–T) are budget-friendly with slight distance.

Main Balcony: Elevated for better sightlines, especially for performances with visual elements. Center sections (B–C) provide balanced acoustics, while side sections (A, D) may have angled views.

Upper Balcony: Most affordable but steeply raked. Rows AA–FF in the center are great for budget-conscious fans, though the stage may feel distant.

Best Seats for Different Events

• Concerts: Orchestra Rows A–D (up-close energy) or Main Balcony Center (optimal sound).
• Symphony/Classical: Main Balcony B–C for acoustic precision.
• Theater: Avoid extreme side seats in Upper Balcony to prevent obstructed views.

VIP & Accessibility

The venue offers VIP boxes with private seating and amenities. Accessible seating is available on all levels, including companion seats. Contact the box office for specific needs.

Pro Tips
