Hertz Hall Tickets & Events

Hertz Hall brings chamber music, classical recitals, student and faculty concerts, and Cal Performances presentations to an intimate 700-seat setting on the UC Berkeley campus. Named in honor of Alfred Hertz, longtime conductor of the San Francisco Symphony, Hertz Hall tickets connect audiences with a recital hall known for close-up performances and strong acoustics suited to unamplified music.

This page covers everything you need to know before you go — from finding the right seats to getting there, navigating the venue, and buying with confidence.

About Hertz Hall

Hertz Hall, also known as Alfred Hertz Memorial Hall of Music, opened in 1958 on the University of California, Berkeley campus. The hall is owned by the University of California, Berkeley and programmed in part by Cal Performances and the UC Berkeley Department of Music. With approximately 700 seats, it offers a compact concert-hall experience within the campus music complex at 101 Cross-Sproul Path in Berkeley, California.

The venue hosts chamber music, classical and solo recitals, string quartet performances, faculty and student concerts, the UC Berkeley Department of Music’s free Noon Concert series, and Cal Performances presentations. Its academic and performing-arts calendar centers much of its programming in the fall and spring terms, making it a regular destination for campus-based music and visiting ensembles.

Regarded as one of the premier chamber music and recital spaces on the UC Berkeley campus, Hertz Hall is known for its intimate scale, acoustically focused design, and a performance setting that places audiences close to the artists.

Location & Transportation

Hertz Hall is located at 101 Cross-Sproul Path, Berkeley, CA 94704 — within the UC Berkeley campus interior, near central campus pathways and the university’s music complex.

Transit: Hertz Hall is accessible by AC Transit bus lines serving the UC Berkeley campus area and is within walking distance of the Downtown Berkeley BART station, roughly a 15–20 minute walk across campus. Public transit is a practical option for events here because campus parking can be limited.

Driving and Parking: On-campus and nearby university parking structures and lots are available, but campus parking can be limited and metered street parking fills quickly during events. Arriving early gives you more time to park and walk across campus to the hall.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off works best at campus perimeter access points near the venue. Because Hertz Hall sits within the interior campus footprint, plan on a short walk from drop-off to the hall.

Nearby Accommodation: Hotels are available in Downtown Berkeley and along the campus perimeter, including options near Shattuck Avenue and the Downtown Berkeley district. Staying nearby offers easy walking access to campus.

Venue Navigation

Hertz Hall has a compact, single-level concert-hall layout, so navigation is straightforward once you reach the UC Berkeley campus music complex. Understanding the campus setting in advance helps with arrival timing, especially if you are walking from parking, transit, or a rideshare drop-off point.

Entrances and Access: Entry is through the hall’s main entrance within the UC Berkeley campus music complex, near central campus pathways. Wheelchair-accessible entry is provided.

Seating Levels: Hertz Hall uses a single orchestra-level seating area oriented toward the stage, with sections lettered across rows. The compact scale means guests do not need to navigate multiple concourse levels or long interior walks.

Accessibility: Wheelchair seating areas are provided within the hall, and an Access Coordinator is available through the hall management office for accommodation requests.

Getting to Your Section: Staff and signage assist patrons in finding seats. Because the venue is a single-level orchestra hall, getting from the entrance to your row is typically simple, with no long concourse routes.

Dining Options

Outside the Venue — Downtown Berkeley and Telegraph Avenue

Hertz Hall is close to extensive dining options in Downtown Berkeley and along Telegraph Avenue, Bancroft Way, and Shattuck Avenue. The surrounding area also includes the renowned Gourmet Ghetto district north of campus, where visitors will find numerous restaurants and cafés before or after a performance.

Security & Policies

Hertz Hall maintains security and venue policies that are updated regularly and may vary by event. Before attending, reviewing the current policy on the venue's official website is strongly recommended.

Entry Procedures: Ticketed events use digital and printed ticket verification at entry. Many Noon Concerts and departmental events are free and open admission, so entry procedures can differ by program. Arriving with tickets ready helps keep the line moving.

How Much Do Tickets to Hertz Hall Cost?

Hertz Hall ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the artist or ensemble, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from free Noon Concerts to Cal Performances chamber music presentations.

Free departmental events, including Noon Concerts and select student or faculty performances, have no charge. These programs are part of the hall’s regular academic and music-calendar activity.

Chamber music, recitals, Cal Performances programs, and other ticketed performances are often priced at approximately $30–$80 depending on the artist, ensemble, program type, seat location, and demand for marquee chamber ensembles.

For high-demand Cal Performances chamber concerts, buying earlier generally provides better seat selection in this intimate hall. As inventory narrows for popular programs, the strongest available seats can become harder to find.

Hertz Hall Seating Guide

Hertz Hall’s seating layout is easy to understand because it is a single orchestra-level hall oriented toward the stage. The intimate size makes seat location especially important for chamber music and recital performances, where sightlines, acoustics, and proximity all shape the experience.

Best Seats at Hertz Hall

• Best value: Rear and side orchestra seats typically offer the most affordable options while keeping you within the hall’s compact recital setting.
• Closest to the action: Front orchestra rows nearest the stage place you closest to the performers, ideal for solo recitals, chamber ensembles, and other intimate programs.
• Best overall experience: Center orchestra seats toward the front and middle of the hall offer a strong balance of sightlines and acoustics for classical and chamber performances.
• General admission: Many free departmental events, including Noon Concerts, operate as general or open admission, while ticketed Cal Performances events use reserved seating.

The map lets you compare sections side by side, check row depth and distance from the stage, and see real-time pricing for what's currently available — all before committing to a purchase.

Can I See Where My Seats Are?

Getting Ready for Your Hertz Hall Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a hall set within the UC Berkeley campus interior.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the entrance without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Allow time for campus parking, which can be limited, and for the walk across campus to Hertz Hall.
• Wear the right footwear. The hall sits within the UC Berkeley campus, and some routes from parking or transit involve inclines and stairs. Supportive shoes make the walk easier.
• Dress in layers. Hertz Hall is indoors, but the walk across campus from parking or transit is exposed to weather. Dress for the conditions before and after the performance.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. If you are coming from Downtown Berkeley BART, plan for the roughly 15–20 minute walk across campus.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
