Your Ultimate Guide to Heinz Hall’s Seating & Ticket Options

Heinz Hall, Pittsburgh’s premier venue for symphony, Broadway, and live performances, offers a mix of historic charm and modern acoustics. This guide breaks down the seating chart, views, and tips to help you choose the perfect seats.

Heinz Hall Seating Chart Overview

• Orchestra (Floor): Closest to the stage with unbeatable sound. Rows A-F offer intimate views, while rear rows may have slight elevation issues.
• Grand Tier (Lower Balcony): Elevated perspective with excellent sightlines. Center sections provide balanced views, but side sections may have angled stage views.
• First & Second Balconies: Budget-friendly with good acoustics. Front rows are solid, but rear rows feel distant—ideal for orchestral performances.

Best Seats for Different Events

• Symphony: Orchestra center (Rows G-M) or Grand Tier front for acoustic precision.
• Broadway: Orchestra sides (Rows A-D) or Grand Tier center for full-stage visibility.
• Concerts: First Balcony front for overhead lighting effects.

Seat View Tips & Obstructions

• Avoid extreme side seats in upper balconies—partial obstructions may occur.
• Orchestra under-balcony seats (rear rows) can feel cramped; opt for aisle seats.
• Grand Tier boxes offer unique angles but may have restricted legroom.

VIP & Accessibility

• VIP Boxes: Private seating with lounge access. Ideal for small groups.
• Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible seating in Orchestra and Grand Tier. Call ahead for assistance.

Pro Tips for Budget Buyers
