TicketHold | The Lobero Theatre Seating Chart & Seat Views Guide

Historic Charm Meets Intimate Performances

Santa Barbara’s iconic Lobero Theatre, California’s oldest continuously operating theater, blends historic elegance with exceptional acoustics. This intimate 600-seat venue hosts jazz, theater, and concerts, offering an up-close experience rare in larger arenas.

Seating Chart Breakdown

• Orchestra (Rows A-J): Flat floor seating with unbeatable proximity. Front rows (A-C) may have slight neck strain for stage-level acts.
• Loge (Balcony, Rows AA-EE): Elevated views with gentle rake. Center seats (DD-EE) provide optimal sightlines over taller attendees.
• Box Seats (Sides): Romantic Victorian-style boxes hold 2-4 people. Partial side views but unique ambiance.

Best Seats by Event Type

• Concerts: Orchestra center (Rows D-G) for balanced sound and sightlines.
• Theater: Loge front (Row AA) for full-stage visibility without craning.
• Budget Pick: Rear Loge (DD-EE) – 30% cheaper but still excellent views.

View Tips & Obstructions

Side Orchestra seats beyond Seat 20 may have pillar obstructions. Loge’s steep rake ensures clear views, but front-row balcony railings may slightly obscure the stage floor.

VIP & Accessibility

• Donor Seats: First 3 rows with premium legroom and private entrance.
• Wheelchair Spaces: Designated areas in Orchestra rear and Loge entrance level.
• Hearing Assistance: FM headsets available at coat check.

Pro Tip

For tall guests, avoid Loge’s front row (AA) – legroom is tight. Opt for Box seats if prioritizing charm over perfect sightlines.
