Bill Graham Civic Auditorium

Bill Graham Civic Auditorium is an 8,500-capacity civic hall with a large general-admission floor and seated wraparound balcony, used for electronic, rock and large-scale touring productions.

Use Civic Center/UN Plaza BART and Muni station and walk west through Civic Center. The area can feel unsettled after dark, so plan the station route or rideshare pickup instead of lingering after the crowd disperses.

Large bags are prohibited. Security may inspect and remove items it considers unsafe, and individual events may add stricter rules.

The floor is enormous and sightlines flatten quickly. The balcony is often the better choice for seeing the production, while the floor is best if being inside the crowd is the point.
