The venue is on 11th Street between Third and Fourth Avenues. If you are taking the subway, the area is served by the L train to Third Avenue, the 4 train to Union Square or the 6 train to Astor Place. For drivers, the closest parking lot is located at the corner of 12th Street and Third Avenue, and other parking garages within walking distance of Webster Hall are available. Street parking is scarce during the evening in that area.
Purchase tickets ahead of time, as the venues are small and can sell out quickly. The largest venue on site holds 1,500 people and the smallest, 150. The doors open for each show at the time listed on your ticket, although the shows will probably start a short time later. Lines can be long and must first pass through security at the front door; the guards will likely search large purses or bags. Like many other indoor venues, outside food and drink are not allowed. You must be 19 years of age to enter.
All concerts at Webster Hall either have general or VIP admission. Larger concerts take place in the Grand Ballroom, which has two levels. The lower level is flat, with some seating areas along the wall. It is generally more crowded than the balcony level, although that, too, can get packed. The balcony has its own bar at the back and seating areas along the walls. Areas on the balcony are also a little quieter than on the main floor. However, sound quality is not compromised. The VIP is usually on one side of the balcony and roped off to the general public. The other venues range from capacities of 150 and 500 people, with a more intimate concert experience. These rooms are also usually general admission.
