Discover the best seats at Jackson Hall for Esa-Pekka Salonen conducting the San Francisco Symphony. Our seating guide highlights value sections, premium views, and hidden gems in this world-class 1,800-seat venue known for its exceptional acoustics and intimate atmosphere.
Best Value Tickets (Under $100)
- Upper Tier Right, Row G ($96) - Excellent side view with full stage visibility. The upper tier's steep rake ensures unobstructed sightlines despite being further back.
- Upper Tier Left, Row G ($97) - Mirror image of the right side with identical value. Perfect for seeing the full string section's bow work.
Why we recommend: These sections offer the best price-to-experience ratio, with only slight angle compromises that don't affect sound quality in this acoustically perfect hall.
Sweet Spot (Best Balance of Price & View)
- Orchestra Terrace Right, Row K ($193-194) - Elevated side boxes with direct sightlines to the conductor's podium. You'll see finger work on solo instruments clearly from this vantage point.
Key advantage: Terrace seats provide armchair comfort with extra legroom while maintaining intimate proximity to the stage (just 6 rows back from orchestra level).
View Comparison
- Upper Tier vs. Orchestra Terrace: While both are side sections, the Terrace's lower angle (Row K vs. Row G) brings you closer to eye-level with performers. Upper Tier offers a more comprehensive ensemble view.
- Right vs. Left Side: For this performance, right side offers better views of principal strings and conductor's expressions. Left side highlights woodwinds and brass.
Premium Experience Tips
- Acoustic Note: Jackson Hall's vineyard-style seating means even upper tiers benefit from the same world-class acoustics as premium seats.
- Arrival Tip: Terrace seats include private lobby access - arrive early to enjoy less crowded amenities.
- Pair with: Consider Mondavi's pre-concert talks (free with ticket) to enhance your experience.
Our Recommendation
For budget-conscious buyers: The Upper Tier seats deliver remarkable value with full musical enjoyment. For those wanting a more immersive experience, the $194 Orchestra Terrace seats offer significant upgrades in comfort and sightlines without the premium price of center orchestra seats.
Final Advice
- Upper Tier: Choose if prioritizing budget and overall sound experience
- Orchestra Terrace: Select for enhanced visual connection with performers
- Right Side: Recommended for better conductor visibility
