Your Ultimate Resource for the Best Seats at Purdue’s Iconic Venue

The Elliott Hall of Music, a historic 6,000-seat venue at Purdue University, hosts concerts, graduations, and lectures. Known for its superb acoustics and grand architecture, choosing the right seat enhances your experience. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the seating chart and views.

Seating Chart Overview

• Orchestra Level (Floor): Closest to the stage, ideal for concerts and performances. Rows A-F offer unobstructed views, while rear rows may have slight elevation challenges.
• Main Balcony: Elevated perspective with excellent sightlines. Center sections (101-103) provide balanced views, while side sections (104-107) may have angled stage views.
• Upper Balcony: Budget-friendly with a steep incline. Best for large-scale events, though distant views may lack intimacy.

Best Seats for Different Events

• Concerts: Orchestra Rows A-D or Main Balcony center for optimal sound and visibility.
• Lectures: Main Balcony front rows (clarity without straining).
• Graduations: Upper Balcony for a panoramic view of ceremonies.

Seat Views & Obstructions

Orchestra seats near aisles may have partial obstructions from pillars. Balcony railings in front rows (Main Balcony) can block sightlines for shorter attendees. Avoid extreme side sections for performances requiring full stage visibility.

VIP & Accessibility

• VIP Boxes: Private seating with premium amenities, located at Balcony level.
• Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible seating in Orchestra and Balcony levels with companion seats.

Pro Tips

• Use interactive seat maps to preview views before booking.
