Massey Hall
Massey Hall in Downtown Toronto is an official heritage building that continues to host popular entertainers and shows
Massey Hall is a beautiful, historic 2752 seat concert hall in the heart of Toronto that is also a designated heritage building under the Ontario Heritage Act. The Hall was home to the Toronto Symphony Orchestra as well as the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir prior to the opening of the Roy Thomson Hall in 1982.
Massey Hall was built in 1894 for a cost of just over $150,000. At that time it seated up to 3500 guests, however renovations during the 1940s reduced the capacity to the current 2752. The hall has had many famous dignitaries pass through its doors over the years and it has hosted performances by many famous artists.
Massey Hall continues to be a popular venue for many concerts and shows. For additional information about Massey Hall and upcoming concerts and events see the official website link below.

Great venue!
Went to Massey Hall for a concert and had an amazing experience. The acoustics are fantastic, the staff were friendly and well-organized, and the atmosphere felt both historic and intimate. Seats were comfortable and the sound quality was top-notch. Would definitely come back for another show!

Gorgeous venue! I came here for PinkPantheress on Night 2 and the visuals were fantastic. I would recommend picking spots closer to the centre if you are on the third floor as there are big speakers that will block your view. Otherwise, most seats are fantastic and are comfortable.

Absolutely amazing concert with fantastic sound.
Note, the seats are rather uncomfortable and front row seats have zero leg room up against the barrier so if you're over 5’7 you're not going to fit save your money and stand on the floor your back and legs will thank me later.

Liverpool 4 were awesome and they gave it all for nearly three hours. My only complaint was that we sat in front row in balcony and seating was very tight both with your neighbour as well as no knee space. Had to sit awkwardly to avoid pressing knees directly against the wall.

One of the best acoustics that I have experienced in Toronto. The seats are a bit tight on the upper levels if you are anywhere close to six feet. Arrive a bit early to experience the venue and read the history of the hall posted in the corridors when you go towards the concessions.
