Complete Guide to Buying Tickets at Irving Plaza

Irving Plaza, a historic ballroom-style music venue near Union Square in Manhattan, New York, is a cornerstone of the city’s live music scene. Originally built in 1860 as a hotel, it transformed into a rock club in 1978 and has since hosted iconic acts like U2, Pearl Jam, and Bob Dylan. With a capacity of approximately 1,200, it offers an intimate setting for concerts across genres like rock, pop, and hip-hop. The venue, managed by Live Nation, underwent a multi-million-dollar renovation in 2019, enhancing its VIP lounge, bars, and mezzanine with box seating.

Ticket options cater to diverse preferences, from budget-friendly General Admission (GA) Floor tickets to premium VIP experiences. Primary tickets are available through Live Nation or Ticketmaster, while the on-site box office offers fee-free purchases on show nights. Resale platforms like Ticket Squeeze provide access to sold-out events, often with a buyer guarantee. Ticket types include standard concert tickets, GA standing, reserved seating in the balcony or loft, and VIP packages with perks like private lounges and priority entry. Prices vary by event, averaging $90, with GA starting as low as $16 and premium seats reaching $400+.

The venue operates year-round, hosting 50–60 concerts annually, from emerging artists to major acts seeking intimate performances. Its 150-year-old structure blends 19th-century charm with modern amenities like crystal chandeliers, polished wooden floors, and state-of-the-art sound and lighting.

Irving Plaza offers multiple bars with drinks and snacks, though no full-service dining. The venue is cashless, accepting major credit cards and digital payments, with some vendors taking cash for tips. Bag policies allow clear bags up to 12” x 6” x 12” or small clutches (4.5” x 6.5”), with all bags subject to search. Accessibility features include ramps, elevators, ADA seating, and accommodations like assisted listening systems, bookable via the box office.

Irving Plaza Seating Chart

Irving Plaza Seating Options

Irving Plaza is primarily a General Admission standing venue, but it offers varied seating options depending on the event, including a balcony, loft, and VIP tables. The interactive seating chart on platforms like Ticketmaster or TicketSmarter helps visualize configurations.

General Admission Floor

The General Admission Floor is the heart of Irving Plaza, offering a standing-room-only experience close to the stage for an immersive concert vibe. Ideal for fans wanting to be in the action, it’s first-come, first-served, so arriving early secures better spots. Capacity is around 750–1,000, depending on setup. GA Floor tickets are typically the cheapest, starting at $16–$55, but require standing for the entire show. Comfortable shoes are a must, and ADA accommodations are available in this area for qualified patrons.

Balcony

The balcony, also called the mezzanine, offers reserved seating with excellent stage views and superior sound quality, perfect for those preferring a seated experience. Located above the main floor, it accommodates up to 250 guests and features vintage lamps and a bar. Seats closer to the center (lower seat numbers) provide unobstructed views, while higher numbers may have slight side angles. Balcony tickets are pricier than GA but offer comfort and a relaxed atmosphere, ideal for longer shows.

Loft

The loft refers to the side areas of the balcony level, closer to the stage but often standing or with limited seating like high-top tables. These spots provide a semi-elevated view, though rail access is first-come, first-served, and standing behind others can obscure sightlines. Loft tickets are great for those wanting proximity without the floor’s crowd, but early arrival is key for prime positioning. They’re priced mid-range, often $50–$150, depending on the event.

VIP Tables

VIP Tables, including tables 1–4 and high-tops, are the premium option, offering fixed seats with unobstructed, center-stage views from the balcony level. Located beside the mixing booth, tables provide the best sightlines and comfort, with space to spread out. These semi-private setups, ideal for groups, include perks like private bar access or Jocco’s Ransom Lounge entry. Prices start at $200+ per seat, with high-tops slightly cheaper but still elevated. Availability is limited, so book early through Live Nation or resale platforms.

Irving Plaza Ticket Sources

Tickets for Irving Plaza are available through primary and secondary sources, each with distinct advantages. Always check event pages for specific sale details, as popular shows sell out quickly.

Service fees apply (often $10–$20), but prices reflect face value, starting at $16 for GA and up to $400+ for premium seats. Check event pages for age restrictions and refund policies, especially for rescheduled or canceled shows.

Box Office

The Irving Plaza box office, located at 17 Irving Place, opens on show nights only, typically 45 minutes before doors, offering fee-free purchases for available tickets. Cash, major credit cards, and Apple Pay are accepted, but inventory may be limited for high-demand events. It’s ideal for last-minute buys or ADA accommodations, requiring a valid ID for will-call pickups. Contact (212) 777-6800 for inquiries.

Seating Tickets

Seating tickets refer to reserved balcony or loft seats, offering assigned spots for comfort. Central balcony seats are best for unobstructed views, with prices ranging from $50–$200. These are perfect for those avoiding the standing GA Floor, with ADA options available.

General Admission

GA tickets grant access to the standing floor, first-come, first-served, ideal for fans wanting to be near the stage. Priced at $16–$55, they’re the most affordable option but require early arrival for optimal spots. ADA guests can access a designated floor section.

Resale Tickets
