If you're seeing a show and your tickets are at will call, you can save a lot of time by picking them up anytime before the show (even that day). The will call line the day of a show is a mad house.

Good gift shop , excellent performances , amazing acoustics , ambient atmosphere, and an ornate hall perfect for any performance no matter the occasion. What's not to love?

Manny Bordoy

Very beautiful location, the ushers at Carnegie hall are amongst the rudest people that I have dealt with in such a classy establishment . C.H. needs to invest in better ushers, DAMN THE RED COATS.

The best hall!!! If you ever get a chance to be backstage or onstage, you know you have graced the same walkways as legends. Oh and the redcoats are ever so rude for such a classy establishment ...

Paul Booth

If you get a box seat, try to get seat #1, 2, or 3. You can still hear well and see well enough in the second row, but you might have a wall in seats 7 or 8 in a box

The architecture and the heritage behind this building are great even the concerts and events happening inside is even greater

Paul Booth

Sunday 2pm performance of the NY Youth orchestra was excellent, and much cheaper. This meant we could buy 2nd tier box seats to get the Carnegie experience for a fraction of the price

Julie Soscia

A great, more intimate space for classic music and concerts . For all the history buffs, they also host tours about Carnegie Hall and Andrew Carnegie .

the super cold and refreshing water fountain on the far right of the balcony entrance is your just reward for climbing up 200 flights of stairs.

In 1903, President Teddy Roosevelt joined with Methodist bishops to honor the 200th anniversary of John Wesley's birth (from "Methodism and Politics in the Twentieth Century" by Mark Tooley).

For some pop artist concerts , they set out bins of Ricola throat drops for guests to grab from on their way out. So don't be afraid to bring your inner tweeny bopper and SHOUT your hearts OUT!

New Classical Music concerts usually happen in Zankel Hall, Carnegie Hall’s newest venue opened in 2003. With its 599 seats and its wood panelling Zankel is a first class hall.

Blake Olmstead

My nose was bleeding from the balcony height, but the lush acoustics calmed my spirits.

Michael Fox-Rabinovitz

Great place for classical music...trivial but true

Thomas

Beautiful, beautiful venue. However, the seats in the balcony offer less legroom than the cabin of a power wheels car. Mentally prepare yourself if you're over 5'4.

Pat Dwyer

The greatest Hall in the greatest city . Nowhere else compares.

Eduard

Balcony chairs are to airplane economy seats what economy seats are to first class seats.

Try to attend an Open Working Rehearsal if you can. While a little more casual , you get to witness first-hand the pursuit of perfection. It's a real treat.
