I saw an acoustic performance here, and the atmosphere was amazing. The seats are extremely small, so it can be a little uncomfortable, but it is a very old music hall.
Audience interaction with the performer is amazing, and seems almost encouraged here. Every seat can be clearly heard from the stage. If you get a chance, do see a...

Comfortable seats, Big warm sound. Historic. Top quality acts. Be prepared for a long climb of stairs.

The Massey Halls history is infinite. Some of the bests of yesteryear have blessed the stage of the Massey to jam out. The tradition continues. I would echoe some of the previous comments about avoiding the upper deck. The floor seats give you the best vantage, and acoustics to experience what massey is all about. I love the venue so...

Very nice old style hall - semi circle with good seating all around. Some seats may be blocked by columns. Sound was very good.

It was actually several years ago, but I got to sit on stage to watch Dame Kiri De Kanawa sing. The acoustics were amazing, the architecture a bit too modern for my taste, but the faciilites couldn't be faulted.

I love the history of Massey Hall and have enjoyed many concerts and performances there since I was a child. The next time I try booking here, if I can't get floor seats I'll simply pass - the leg room in the upper seats is simply not enough for someone over 5'8" (or less, perhaps!) to sit, and no matter...

Yes, all classic rock and folk legend place this Hall. I needs a bit of a complete restoration in my opinion. I have seen Gordon Lightfoot to Nora Jones to others I can't even remember. The balconies are steep so all can see the view. Parking in next to impossible. The box office people are a bit overworked or have...

It's not a large venue. Sometimes you don't want to be surrounded by thousands of people. Sometimes you want to see the person who is entertaining you as more than just a speck. Just avoid the seats behind the large pillars supporting the building.

Went to Massey Hall for the Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds concert. Great atmosphere and the sound was perfect. Seating was awful though.
