Yan PMarch 6, 2015If 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.
Brennen CollierMarch 31, 2015Good 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 BordoyMay 1, 2016Very 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.Upvoted 2 weeks ago
Michael CFebruary 24, 2019The pinnacle of live music. If you are visiting or live nearby. You have to check this off your bucket list.
Paul BoothNovember 21, 2016Sunday 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- Paul BoothNovember 21, 2016If 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
ZeidoApril 3, 2017The architecture and the heritage behind this building are great even the concerts and events happening inside is even greater
- Mike ChungJanuary 15, 2017Weill Hall is a smaller, more intimate venue with great acoustics. It was perfect for a piano recital by Hyeyoung Song that I just enjoyed there.
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...
Sherry JuMay 20, 2016Fans of classical music, this is a last visit place. But they actually offer last minute tickets at very low prices.
The Corcoran GroupDecember 17, 2011It’s not surprising that this historic venue has the best acoustics in the city! Take advantage of the partial view ticket discounts – 50% off! It’s worth it.
Concert Ticket AgencyOctober 1, 2012The legend.Not to be missed. Show up day of early to try and get last minute 'day of' discounted tickets. Brilliant acoustics. All the greats have played here. The Beatles, Judy, The Doors, etc..
The Wild Honey PieOctober 23, 2017The original concept for Carnegie Hall was imagined by conductor Walter Damrosch whom Andrew Carnegie met on board a ship traveling from New York to London in 1887.
Julie SosciaJanuary 29, 2019A great, more intimate space for classic music and concerts. For all the history buffs, they also host tours about Carnegie Hall and Andrew Carnegie.
New York PostMay 13, 2015An institution for music-lovers worldwide, the hall is also home to Philip Glass' big annual Tibet House benefit. Read more
Jean 💜October 21, 2012For 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!- 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.
- David AsabinaApril 23, 2016Piano concerts sound great here. It's the ambiance mostly, I've been in auditoriums with better acoustics.
Beautiful space and best acoustics in the city for a large hall.

I Care If You ListenDecember 8, 2011New 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.
My nose was bleeding from the balcony height, but the lush acoustics calmed my spirits.

EddieStarrJuly 18, 2010An extremely powerful place that combines the old with the new. A brilliant , timeless design verberates energy and is mixed with modern tech to make this a classic Must See venue.
IRDApril 19, 2013In 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).
ММJuly 26, 2010Try 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.
Legendary concert venue where they have performed Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, and others unforgettable legends!
Tom C.January 16, 2013Was pushed out after the show. Only 2 people staffing the merch table & very long line. Needed the bathroom but they were locked off. Expected more from a world-class venue. Show was amazing tho.
Reuters Business TravellerApril 1, 2011One of the world's greatest concert halls, choose from three spaces, holding between 268 and 2,800 people.
ThomasDecember 8, 2011Beautiful, 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.
