TicketHold | Helzberg Hall Seating Chart Guide – Best Seats & Views

Discover the Perfect Seats at Kansas City’s Premier Concert Venue

Helzberg Hall at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts is a world-class acoustic marvel, hosting symphonies, jazz ensembles, and solo performances. Its vineyard-style seating ensures an intimate experience, with no seat farther than 100 feet from the stage. This guide breaks down the seating chart, views, and tips for choosing your ideal spot.

Helzberg Hall Seating Chart Overview

• Orchestra Level (Sections A-C): Closest to the stage, offering pristine sound and unobstructed views. Best for classical concerts but may lack elevation for visual-heavy performances.
• Terraces (Sections 1-3): Elevated side sections with excellent sightlines. Avoid extreme side seats (Rows 10+) for skewed angles.
• Grand Tier (Center): Mid-level balance of acoustics and visibility. Ideal for piano recitals or chamber music.
• Choral Terrace (Rear): Budget-friendly with full-stage views, though distant for soloists’ facial expressions.

Best Seats by Event Type

• Symphonies: Orchestra Center (Rows 5-12) for immersive sound.
• Jazz/Pop: Terrace 2 (Rows 1-5) for a panoramic view.
• Ballet: Grand Tier (Center) to appreciate choreography.

VIP & Accessibility

• VIP Boxes: Private suites with lounge access and premium sightlines.
• Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible seating in Orchestra A and Terrace 1, with companion seats.

Pro Tips

For budget seats, Choral Terrace’s front rows rival pricier sections. Avoid extreme side Terrace seats for vocal performances. Use the Kauffman Center’s virtual tour to preview your view before booking.
