• The Carnegie Hall Experience

    A Few Tips to Make the Most of Your Concert Experience

    Each season, Carnegie Hall offers an amazing array of outstanding orchestras, legendary ensembles, revered recitalists, and spellbinding performers. Every concert is different, with artists who create a unique environment for the audience members in attendance.

  • Don’t worry: There’s no dress code, and we have a coat check. We want you to be comfortable.

    Just be considerate of others. Be subtle with perfumes and scents, and please turn off your cell phone and other electronic devices before entering the Hall.

    Tapping, humming, and singing along can be lots of fun—but not necessarily for the person sitting next to you. We love to see children in the audience; please remind them that being courteous of others is part of the experience. All children need a ticket.

    If you need any help or have any questions, please feel free to talk with one of our helpful, friendly ushers. And please help yourself to the free Ricola cough drops (remember to unwrap them before the music starts).
