Member Seating Information
In order to provide the most pleasant experience for Grant Park Music Festival members there are special seating procedures for Membership Seating Areas.
Memberships help to keep the Grant Park Music Festival free and accessible for all through key financial contributions. There are multiple membership levels that come with a variety of different benefits. Most memberships come with reserved seating in the front section of the Seating Bowl. Visit the membership page for more information or to become a member today.
Members, please note the following:
- Membership Seating Areas open 1 hour before the scheduled concert time in the Jay Pritzker Pavilion.
- Late seating is only permitted during appropriate breaks in the program. Note that some concerts may have no late seating available.
- Membership Seating Areas may be opened to the public 5-10 minutes prior to the scheduled concert time; members can claim their seats only during appropriate breaks in the music/concert.
- Food and drink, including alcohol, are welcome in the seats but please remember to be considerate of others’ enjoyment when dining during the concert. Coolers and picnic baskets must be stored under your seat and can not block the aisles.
- Festival Ushers are available in the Seating Bowl to assist you.
