Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium Seating Options

The Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium offers a variety of seating options across its three levels, designed to provide excellent views and comfort for all patrons. With a total capacity of 2,416 (when the orchestra pit is in use) or 2,538, the seating is divided into the Main Floor, First Balcony, and Second Balcony, with specific accommodations for accessibility. Each section offers unique perspectives, catering to different preferences and budgets.

First Balcony

The First Balcony, with 748 seats (including four wheelchair spaces), offers an elevated view of the stage, ideal for those seeking a balance between proximity and perspective. Center sections (101–105) provide the best sightlines, with Row K requiring no steps and Row L requiring two shallow steps. This level is accessible by elevator, making it suitable for patrons with mobility needs. The First Balcony is often preferred for its clear views and easier access to amenities like restrooms and concessions compared to the Main Floor.

Second Balcony

The Second Balcony, with 607 seats, is the highest and most budget-friendly seating area, offering a broad view of the stage. It includes Left, Left Centre, Centre, Right Centre, and Right sections, with Rows D and E requiring two steps each. Note that there is no elevator access to this level, making it less suitable for patrons with mobility challenges. While further from the stage, the Second Balcony still provides clear sightlines due to the auditorium’s purpose-built design, making it a great choice for those prioritizing affordability.

Main Floor

The Main Floor, with 1,159 seats (including 118 pit seats and 16 wheelchair spaces), is the closest to the stage, offering the most immersive experience. It includes Left Centre, Centre, and Right Centre sections, with Row XX requiring no steps, Row Z requiring one shallow step, and Row Y requiring two shallow steps. Orchestra seats, particularly in the center aisle, provide the best views and are typically the most expensive. The Main Floor is fully wheelchair accessible via ramps at the main and east entrances, with designated spaces for wheelchair patrons and one guest.

Pit

The orchestra pit, when not in use by musicians, offers 118 additional seats, bringing the total capacity to 2,538. These seats are the closest to the stage, providing an up-close experience ideal for performances like ballets or concerts. Pit seating is reserved and priced according to the event, often among the premium options due to its proximity. Wheelchair spaces are available in this area, ensuring accessibility for all patrons.

VIP Packages

For select performances, VIP packages may be offered, providing enhanced experiences such as premium seating (often in the orchestra or front First Balcony), exclusive merchandise, meet-and-greet opportunities with performers, or access to a luxury suite. Availability and details vary by event, so check with Ticketmaster or the box office for specific shows. These packages are typically priced higher than standard tickets and are ideal for fans seeking a memorable, upgraded experience.

Where Are the Best Seats at Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium?

The best seats depend on personal preference and the type of event. For the closest and most immersive experience, orchestra seats on the Main Floor (especially center aisle seats) or pit seats offer unparalleled views, ideal for ballets, operas, or concerts.
