Symphony Hall is a classy place for a concert. We've been to a number of concerts here over the years and always have had a good time. (Most recently the band America 1/26/20) Its intimate (1,700 sears), all seats have good sight lines and the acoustics are great. My only gripe is that there is no center aisle. So if you are seated in the center of the row, get there a little early and plan on staying in your seat for the duration.
If you pre-buy your parking in the Art Center deck online its $27 (including a service fee) and guarantees you a spot.
But valet is $26 the night of the show. There is also plenty of parking nearby. The area is busy, well lit and is as safe as anywhere intown. If you are going green the Art Center Marta Station is right there.

Visited for a show. Great location in Midtown.Concerts at the Atlanta Symphony sound amazing because of the acoustics. Plays and events at the Alliance Theatre are unique and comfortable to watch. Then, there's the High Museum of Art, one of the world's premier museums.

I was here to see the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra perform a program of Mozart and Brahms. The orchestra and maestro Nathalie Stutzmann were outstanding, and Symphony Hall is a fine venue. I parked in the Promenade parking garage, which was pricey, but easy to enter and exit.

Have enjoyed all of the performances at the Woodruff (both theatrical and Orchestral), however, the $5 per-ticket fee to print the tickets yourself is outrageous. Attended a performance in which the show time was subsequently changed to a half-hour earlier, and I had not been notified. Had I not contacted the box office earlier to inquire about an unrelated topic, I would not have know that the show time had been change, and would have missed 30 minutes of the show.

Saw a great production called Whistling Psyche at the Black Box. Very intimate little theatre. Loved it!

We visited the Woodruff Arts Center to listen to ASO and Sutton Foster. It was a very enjoyable evening. The acoustics are excellent in the hall, and there are no bad seats on the floor.

I love the friendly and semi-formal atmosphere here. The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Chorus have some of the best productions from Beethoven Symphony movements to Brahms Requiem and so much more! The tickets are pricey but totally worth it! It's kind of difficult to find parking there, but tip is to park in the neighborhood across there and pay the meter. Midtown is horrible for parking so I recommend planning ahead to find time to park. There is also food trucks that come in the afternoons on Fridays, and that's also a very fun even too with great food!
