OMD at Riviera Theatre - Best Seats & Value Guide
Riviera Theatre Chicago Seating Chart Breakdown for OMD
The historic Riviera Theatre offers general admission standing room and limited seated mezzanine options for OMD's synth-pop performance. Below is our expert guide to navigating the venue's unique layout for optimal sound and views at the best prices.
Best Value Tickets (Under $180)
- GA Floor ($160-177): Entry-level GA tickets (GEN ADM01/GEN ADM020) offer solid value. Arrive early for spots near the soundboard (center-rear) for balanced audio.
- Early Entry Tip: The $160 GEN ADM01 tickets are the cheapest available - purchase these and arrive 90 mins before doors for front section positioning.
Sweet Spot Tickets ($180-210)
- Mid-Price GA ($182-202): GEN ADM02/GEN ADM05 positions you in the theater's natural bowl where the floor slopes upward - better sightlines over taller attendees.
- Sound Advantage: GA FLOOR at $199 places you under the venue's iconic dome where acoustics shine for OMD's electronic arrangements.
Higher Tier Options ($210-260)
- Premium GA ($213-218): GEN ADM50/100 tickets offer side-balcony standing areas with unique vantage points of the stage light show.
- Floor Access ($246-256): MAIN FLOOR GA tickets provide guaranteed floor entry if the general admission area reaches capacity.
Premium/Last-Minute Options
- Mezzanine Seating ($539+): Rare seated options in rows B/C. Row B offers direct center views but at 4x GA price - only recommended for those requiring seats.
- VIP Warning: The $7,426 mezzanine ticket is an outlier - likely a reseller premium that doesn't reflect true value.
View Comparison
- Front GA Floor: Intimate but may have obstructed sightlines due to low stage height (arrive early).
- Mid-Floor: Optimal balance of proximity and elevated view from the natural slope.
- Rear Floor/Soundboard: Best audio quality with full light show visibility.
- Side Balconies: Unique angled perspectives but partial stage views during production-heavy moments.
Our Recommendation
For OMD's electronic performance, we recommend the $199 GA FLOOR tickets under the dome for optimal acoustics, or the $182 GEN ADM02 tickets for elevated sightlines. Budget-conscious fans should target the $160 GEN ADM01 tickets and arrive early for position.
Pro Tips
- The Riviera's floor is 12,500 sq ft - even "rear" seats are relatively close compared to larger venues.
- OMD's lighting production is best appreciated from mid-floor positions (sections GA1-GA5).
- Check day-of-show for price drops on premium tickets as resellers adjust inventory.
