TicketHold | Roy Thomson Hall Seating Chart & Seat Views Guide

Your Ultimate Guide to the Best Seats at Toronto’s Premier Concert Venue

Roy Thomson Hall, home to the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and a hub for world-class performances, offers a stunning in-the-round design with exceptional acoustics. This guide breaks down the seating chart, views, and tips to help you choose the perfect seats for concerts, galas, or special events.

Roy Thomson Hall Seating Chart Overview

• Orchestra Level (Floor): Closest to the stage, offering unobstructed views—ideal for orchestral performances. Rows AA–FF are premium, while rear rows may have slight elevation challenges.
• Tier 1 & 2 (Lower & Upper Balcony): Elevated views with excellent sound balance. Front-center Tier 1 seats are top-tier for visibility, while Tier 2’s back rows may feel distant.
• Choir Loft (Behind Stage): Unique perspective for choral events, though performers may face away.

Best Seats for Different Events

• Concerts: Orchestra Rows A–D or Tier 1 Center for balanced acoustics.
• Speeches/Galas: Mid-Orchestra (Rows E–M) for clear sightlines.
• Budget Picks: Tier 2 sides—still great sound at lower prices.

Seat Views & Obstructions

Avoid extreme side seats in Tier 2, as partial stage obstructions may occur. Orchestra rear rows may have limited elevation, so taller attendees could block views.

VIP & Accessibility

• VIP Boxes: Private seating with premium sightlines and amenities.
• Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible spots in Orchestra and Tier 1, with companion seating.

Pro Tips

• Use TicketHold’s interactive seat maps to preview your view.
• For acoustics, prioritize center sections over proximity.
• Check for last-minute upgrades to VIP areas.
