Best Value Tickets

For the most affordable options that still offer excellent views of Whitney Hall, seats in the Orchestra section, Rows Z and R, provide great value. Row Z in the Orchestra is priced at $72, offering an unobstructed, close-up experience of Herbie Hancock's performance. Similarly, Row R is priced at $77, balancing proximity with affordability. These seats are ideal for those seeking a direct and engaging view without paying premium prices.

Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)

The "Sweet Spot" seats are typically in the Orchestra section, Rows J and K, with prices around $98-$107. Specifically, Orchestra Row J ($107) and Row K ($98-$107) offer a balance of good sightlines and availability, providing an immersive experience of the concert while remaining more budget-friendly than premium tiers. These seats are slightly elevated and centered for optimal acoustics and views.

Higher Tier Options (Not the Best Deals)

For those seeking a higher-tier experience, seats in the Balcony and Grand Tier sections provide elevated views but at higher prices. Balcony Rows B and C are priced at $139, offering a panoramic perspective of the stage, with Row B being closer to the action. The Grand Tier sections, especially Rows B and C, are premium options at $162–$139, ideal for attendees desiring the best overall view and acoustics, though at a significant cost.

Premium or Last-Minute Options

Premium seats include Orchestra Section, Rows A and BB, priced at $222, offering the closest possible view of Herbie Hancock. These seats are positioned at or near the stage level, providing an intimate concert experience. Last-minute or VIP options, such as seats in the Grand Tier Left/Right, Rows B and C at $139–$162, also provide excellent vantage points with more availability than the front rows. These seats are ideal for an immersive experience with a slight elevation for a broader stage view.

Section & View Highlights & Differences

• Orchestra Rows Z & R: Best value, closest to the stage, excellent acoustics, affordable prices ($72-$77).
• Orchestra Rows J & K: Good balance of price and view, centered, with Row J at $107 and Row K at $98-$107.

Recommendations

For the best overall experience balancing price and view, seats in Orchestra Rows J and K are recommended. If proximity to the stage is your priority, the Orchestra Section, Row Z, offers the most value at $72. For a premium experience, seats in the Front Orchestra Rows A or BB provide the closest views, though at a higher cost. Elevate your experience with Balcony or Grand Tier seats if you prefer a broader stage perspective and are willing to invest more.
