Discover the Best Seats at NYC’s Premier Dance & Performance Venue

The David H. Koch Theater, home to the New York City Ballet and Lincoln Center’s top performances, offers a world-class experience with its elegant design and exceptional acoustics. This guide breaks down the seating chart, views, and tips to help you choose the perfect seats.

Seating Chart Overview

• Orchestra (Floor Level): Closest to the stage with unobstructed views. Front rows (A–D) offer intimate proximity, while rear rows (M–R) may feel distant for dance performances.
• First Ring (Tier 1): Ideal for ballet, providing a elevated yet direct sightline. Center sections (AA–DD) are prime for viewing choreography.
• Second Ring (Tier 2) & Third Ring (Tier 3): Budget-friendly with good overall views, though upper rows may have slight obstructions from railings.

Best Seat Views & Tips

• Dance Performances: First Ring center seats (Rows A–C) offer the best perspective for full-stage visuals.
• Obstructions: Avoid extreme side seats in all sections, as they may limit visibility of stage corners.
• Budget Pick: Second Ring front rows (A–C) provide great value with clear sightlines.

VIP & Accessibility

• VIP Boxes: Private boxes on the First Ring include premium amenities and dedicated service.
• Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible seating is available in Orchestra and First Ring, with companion seats.

Pro Tips

For ballet, prioritize elevation (First Ring). For spoken-word events, Orchestra center is ideal. Use TicketHold’s interactive seat maps to compare views before booking!
