Vancouver Symphony Orchestra - Pictures at an Exhibition

Experience the timeless beauty of classical music at the Orpheum Theatre in Vancouver, a venue renowned for its exceptional acoustics and historic charm. The seating chart offers various options catering to different preferences and budgets, enhancing your concert experience.

Best Value Tickets

Seats in the Section 5, Row 4, priced at $43, offer the most affordable entry point with a good overall view of the stage. These seats are ideal for concert-goers seeking quality at a low cost, providing a clear perspective of the orchestra and stage action despite being in the balcony level.

Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)

Seats in the UPPER BALC LEFT and RIGHT sections, Row 23, priced at $293, strike a balance between view and price. Located in the upper balcony but toward the sides, these seats provide a broad view of the stage with good acoustics and are generally available, making them a popular choice for quality and value.

Higher Tier Options (Not the Best Deals)

Orchestra seats in Rows 17 and 22 of sections ORCH LC, RC, LEFT, and RIGHT, priced between $338 and $478, offer closer proximity to the stage. These provide an immersive experience with a more detailed view of the performers and stage dynamics, suitable for those seeking a premium experience without reaching the top-tier prices.

• Rows 10 in the Orchestra sections, priced at $626, are higher-tier seats offering the closest view of the orchestra, ideal for audiophiles and those seeking an intimate experience, albeit at a premium price.

Premium or Last-Minute Options

Seats in the ORCH sections, particularly Rows 10 and 17, are considered premium, providing optimal acoustics and sightlines for classical concerts. If available, these can be ideal for last-minute upgrades, offering an unparalleled viewing experience of the orchestra and conductor at the front and center of the stage.

Section & View Highlights

- Lower Balcony (Lower BALC): Rows 13-17, offering a good view of the stage with an elevated perspective. Sections on the sides (LC, RC, LEFT, RIGHT) provide a slightly angled view but still excellent for enjoying the performance.

- Orchestra (ORCH): Rows 10-22, with front rows (Row 10) providing the closest and most immersive experience. The central sections (LC, RC) focus on the conductor and the full orchestra, enhancing the visual and acoustic experience.

- Upper Balcony (UPPER BALC): Rows 23, offering a bird’s-eye view of the stage, suitable for budget-conscious attendees who still want a clear sightline of the performance.
