At any given Symphony Center concert, you will observe some concertgoers dressed up and others dressed more casually. Many patrons wear business attire or casual business attire. We encourage you to wear whatever makes you feel most comfortable.

Many people prefer the first balcony as the best seats in the house--for the sound quality as well as view of the orchestra. I also sit for other tickets on the main floor which I like. It doesn't really matter where you sit---just be certain to go to the Chicago Symphony. The ticket prices start at $35.

Parking: The Grant Park South Garage is at 325 S. Michigan Ave. and has direct access to Symphony Center. Look for signs in the garage to identify the best pedestrian exit to enter Symphony Center.

Typical orchestra attire for audience members involves dressing in formal or semi-formal attire, such as a suit with a tie for men and a dress, skirt, or elegant pants ensemble for women, to complement the formal setting of the concert.
