Balcony

- The Balcony at Chicago Theatre includes traditional seating in the center and Balcony Boxes on each side. Like Main Floor Seats, Balcony sections are divided into left and right sections. There are sections 1R-3R and 1L-3L, with Section 4 directly in the middle. Each of these sections have fewer than 19 rows and the rows are divided into sections of their own. Following rows E and L there are walkways going across that make it easier for patrons to get in and out of their seats. Balcony Boxes The Balcony Boxes are located along the left and right sides of the Balcony seating area. The Boxes on the left are numbered 1-9, with the boxes on the right numbered 10-18. Each box has at least 4 chairs for patrons to sit and enjoy the show. The views are not the best because you are not getting that center view, but you are still able to see the entire stage from each box section.

Great for the Cheap Seats For being all the way in the last segment in the balcony these seats still felt awfully close. I was able to see all details and facial expressions of the acts on stage from where I was which I was not really expecting. The Chicago Theatre seats are pretty comfortable and everyone can see the entire stage clearly.

Row M is the first row located behind one of the walkways that split the upper balcony. This can be a blessing or a curse depending on the show you are at. Luckily I didn't have a lot of fans getting up out of their seats so there was not too many distractions. However, when someone would occasionally get up to go to the restroom, they would walk up the aisle and by me directly blocking my view. A small inconvenience, but still an inconvenience that I think is worth writing in my review.

Nice Balcony View Seats were very nice. Venue is beautiful. Dream Theater are amazing.
Seats are low in the balcony, but pretty far to the right. Still the view was just fine. Sound was great.

Seating and Ticket Q&A

Why do my seats say 213 and 215? Are these seats together?

Yes, the seats you purchased will be together. At the Chicago Theatre, all seats in "Left" sections are odd and all seats in "Right" sections are even. Only seats in center sections are in sequential order.

For "Odd" sections seats will count up by two starting at 1 from the right side (i.e. 1, 3, 5, etc.). For "Even" sections, seats will count up by two starting at 2 from the left side (i.e. 2, 4, 6, etc.)

In your situation, seats 213 and 215 will be next each other in a section left of center stage.
