Seating in McGregor Hall

Designed by Szostak Design, the same firm behind the Durham Performing Arts Center, McGregor Hall was built with guests in mind. Each of our 1,000 seats is carefully positioned for optimal sightlines and sound, with wide, well-lit aisles that make access easy and safe. Seating is divided into seven sections across two tiers—center, left, and right on both levels—so every guest enjoys a clear view of the stage.


Seating options vary by performance, with both reserved and general admission events offered. For details on seating charts, pricing, and accessibility options, visit our ticketing partner Ludus or contact the Box Office at (252) 598-0662.
