TicketHold | Egyptian Theatre - DeKalb Seating Chart & Seat Views Guide

Explore the Historic Egyptian Theatre – Seating Made Simple

The Egyptian Theatre in DeKalb, Illinois, is a beautifully restored 1929 Art Deco gem hosting concerts, films, and live performances. Known for its intimate atmosphere and stunning architecture, understanding its seating chart ensures the best experience for your event.

Seating Chart Breakdown

  • Orchestra (Main Floor): Closest to the stage, offering unobstructed views. Center seats provide ideal sightlines, while side sections may have slight angle limitations.
  • Balcony: Elevated views with a wider perspective—perfect for large productions. Front rows are premium, but rear rows may feel distant for intimate performances.
  • Box Seats: Unique side-view seating with vintage charm. Some seats may have partial obstructions (e.g., railings).

Best Seats by Event Type

  • Concerts: Orchestra rows 5–15 (balanced sound/view). Avoid extreme sides.
  • Theatre: Balcony front center (full-stage visibility).
  • Film Screenings: Mid-orchestra for screen comfort.

Seat View Tips

The theatre’s compact size ensures good visibility, but note:

  • Balcony overhang may affect lighting visibility in rear orchestra.
  • Box seats offer character but check for pillar obstructions.

VIP & Accessibility

  • VIP Packages: Prime orchestra seats with lounge access.
  • Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible seating in orchestra rear and balcony via elevator.

Pro Tips

  • Budget-friendly: Balcony side seats still offer great acoustics.
  • For intimacy: Aim for orchestra rows 3–8.
