STG’s 2024 chart shows numbered main-floor and balcony seats and accessible locations. Main-floor freestanding chairs are removed for standing general-admission concerts; seated comedy and film events may add chairs. Club seating is the first two balcony rows. Match the selected event’s reserved or general-admission configuration rather than assuming the drawn floor chairs are always present.

Need to Know

Best for
Mid-size touring shows in a characterful University District room
Watch out for
STG says seat or section numbers on a general-admission ticket are for internal tracking and do not identify an assigned seat. Avoid large bags: they require a full search that slows entry, and artists can impose a no-bag policy for a particular show. Check the event page and reminder email for current restrictions and leave time for screening; a seated room photograph does not establish a standing concert’s furniture layout.
