Halls

Seating categories in the Hela Hall

The Hela Hall has approximately 750 seats. In the Hela Hall, we have three seating categories: Gold, 1st and 2nd class. 
Legroom: there is more legroom in row 1, row 2 (seats 1 and 2), row 4, row 7, row 20 (seats 11 to 16 – behind the technical areas) and row 24 (seats 1, 2, 29 and 30).
Gold tier: seats in rows 7 to 12
Class 1: seats in rows 1 to 6 and rows 13 to 24 (with the exception of rows 20 and 21, seats 11 to 16)
PLEASE NOTE! Rows 1 to 3 are at the same height, and rows 4 to 6 are at the same height. From row 7 onwards, the auditorium rises with each row. Are you short? If so, your view may be obstructed in rows 2, 3, 5 and 6 if a tall person is sitting in front of you.
Category 2: balcony, right-hand side balcony and left-hand side balcony.
Rows 20 and 21, seats 11 to 16 are also classified as 2nd tier; you’ll be seated behind the technical areas there.
2nd-tier seats may sometimes have a restricted view or less legroom. Seats 1, 2, 28 and 29 in row 5 on the balcony are less comfortable as they are folding seats.

grades Frans Boermans hall

The Frans Boermans hall has approximately 350 seats. In the Frans Boermans hall, we use two grades.
Grade 1: hall seats from row 1 to 9
Grade 2: balcony seats from rows 10 to 13.
2nd grade seats sometimes have less visibility or legroom.
PLEASE NOTE! The balcony can only be reached by stairs; there is no lift to the balcony. The auditorium seats are accessible for people with reduced mobility. Sometimes the Frans Boermans hall is converted into a theatre cafe or pop hall. In that case, you will receive tickets without a seat number, and you can choose your own seat upon entering. More information and a map of the Frans Boermans hall can be found here.

This is a place where you enter with curiosity and leave with a new perspective. Welcome to BACKSTAGE. Welcome to BACKSTAGE.
