TicketHold | Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre Seating Chart & Seat Views Guide

Your Ultimate Guide to the Best Seats at Kodak Hall

Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre, a historic Rochester landmark, blends stunning architecture with world-class acoustics. Home to the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, this 2,326-seat venue hosts concerts, ballets, and Broadway shows. Our seating guide helps you navigate the auditorium’s three tiers—Orchestra, Grand Tier, and Balcony—to find your perfect view.

Seating Chart Breakdown

• Orchestra (Floor): Closest to the stage with unbeatable acoustics. Rows A-F offer intimate artist views, while rear Orchestra (Rows M-P) provides elevated sightlines. Avoid extreme sides for skewed perspectives.
• Grand Tier (1st Balcony): Ideal balance of proximity and elevation. Center sections (GT1-GT4) deliver panoramic views, while side boxes (GT101-GT104) offer unique angled perspectives with slight obstructions.
• Balcony (Upper Tier): Most affordable seats. Front Balcony (Rows A-C) still provides clear views, but rear Balcony (Rows D-F) may feel distant for smaller-scale performances.

Best Seats by Event Type

• Symphony Concerts: Orchestra Rows H-K (acoustic "sweet spot") or Grand Tier center for balanced sound.
• Broadway Shows: Orchestra Rows D-G (full stage visibility) or Grand Tier front for choreography appreciation.
• Solo Performances: Orchestra center sections within 15 rows for emotional connection.

VIP & Accessibility

• Premium Boxes: Private Grand Tier boxes (GT101-104) include lounge access and dedicated service.
• Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible seating in Orchestra rear and Balcony front, with companion seats.
• Budget Tip: Grand Tier side seats often deliver 80% of the experience at 50% of center-section prices.
