Where to sit
Front rail
Arrive at doors. The rail is the best spot in the room and costs the same ticket.
Best sound
Near the sound booth — that is the spot the mix is tuned for.
Easy exit
Back bar area: full view in most rooms, no crowd crush, quick out.
Carnegie Hall fan tip
Check which hall your event is in — Zankel and Weill are separate, much smaller rooms.
