Best Value Tickets

For an optimal balance of price and view in Marian Anderson Hall, the Tier 2 seats in Rows B and C offer excellent value. Prices range from $142 to $145, providing good proximity to the stage with a relatively affordable cost. These sections are generally positioned in the mid to rear orchestra, offering clear sightlines and a rich acoustic experience without the premium cost of front-row seats.

Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)

The Orchestra sections in Rows E and F are ideal for those seeking good availability and a great viewing experience. Rows E at $86 and F at $89 are among the most affordable options in the orchestra, providing close-up views of the performers. These seats are slightly further back than the front rows but still offer an immersive experience with excellent sound clarity.

Higher Tier Options (Not the Best Deals)

Premium seats are found in the Orchestra Box sections and Tier 1 Box, with prices from $251 to $300. These seats are located in the boxes, offering an exclusive perspective and privacy. While they provide a premium experience, they are significantly more expensive and typically suited for special occasions or collectors.

Premium or Last-Minute

For last-minute options, the Tier 1 seats in Rows A and B at prices of $65 and $104 respectively, are excellent choices. Row A in Tier 1 at $65 offers a good balance of proximity and price, especially for those who prefer a more central view. The higher-tier Box seats also fall into this category for an elite experience, but with a higher price point.

Seating Highlights & Views

• Orch Tier Rows A & B: Front and center, closest to the stage, ideal for an up-close experience with excellent acoustics. Rows A and B in Orch Tier provide the best views of the conductor and orchestra.
• Orch Tier Rows C & D: Slightly further back but still offering a balanced view and good acoustics. Row D at $127 offers a good compromise for those wanting proximity without the high cost.
• Orchestra Rows E & F: Slightly further from the stage, these seats still offer a clear view of the performance and are more affordable.
• Sections in Boxes: Located on the sides, these seats provide a more intimate but angled view of the stage, ideal for a unique perspective.

Section & Row Differences

The Orchestra Tier (Orch Tier) sections are closest to the stage, with Rows A and B providing the best sightlines. Rows C and D are slightly further back but still offer excellent acoustics; Row D in Orch Tier is notably affordable at $127. The Orchestra sections (Rows E, F, J, etc.) are located behind the Orch Tier, with prices decreasing as you move further back, but still providing a good experience. The Tier 1 and Tier 2 sections are located at higher levels with more varied pricing, offering options for different budgets and preferences. Box seats give an exclusive experience with a different viewing angle, usually at higher prices.
