⚡ 30-second summary
4,250 seats across three tiers — a fixed proscenium theatre, not an arena
No floor and no standing. Even tier 1 is raked theatre seating, not a flat hall
Section C on each tier is the centre axis; B and D flank it. A and E are the far sides
The rear of tier 1 sits under the balcony overhang — read tier and row together
Line 1 Hoegi Station exit 1, then Dongdaemun 01 village bus to Kyung Hee Medical Center (~800 m on foot)
Bottled water only in the hall — no food allowed
The Grand Peace Palace seats 4,250, but it is a fixed three-tier proscenium theatre, not an arena. There is no floor to choose. The real decision is the trade between centre versus side angle and the rear of tier 1 under the balcony versus the distance of tiers 2 and 3.
🪑 Seating and sightlines
Section C on each tier is the centre axis. But the same axis behaves differently by tier: the rear of tier 1 sits under the upper balcony, while the front of tier 2 gets the whole stage. Read tier and row together.
Reading the sections
| Section | Position | Character |
|---|---|---|
| C | Centre of each tier | Stage centre axis |
| B · D | Either side of C | Still head-on |
| A · E | Outer ends | The far sides |
The TREASURE, Forestella and David Byrne charts we checked all sold A–E on tiers 1, 2 and 3 as the base. Held seats, allocations to other ticket sellers and the extent of restricted-view stock differed per show, so your show’s own chart wins. There are no seats behind the stage.
What each seat trades off
| Seat | What’s good | What you accept |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 2 front centre 💎 | Whole-stage view; some attendees preferred it to the rear of tier 1 | Physically further than tier 1 |
| Tier 1 front centre 💎 | Closest head-on view | The most expensive grade |
| Tier 1 rear centre ⚠️ | Still on the centre axis | Sits under the balcony overhang; performers looked small in some accounts |
| Tier 3 💰 | The budget pick | Community reports suggest binoculars for facial detail |
| A · E sides ⚠️ | Easier to get at the same grade | The widest angle to the stage |
⚠️ Restricted-view stock is released per show. TREASURE held seats expected to have obstructed views and later released them as restricted view; Forestella sold a separate “limited view/sound” grade. How much any individual seat is blocked comes from that show’s chart, not from a general rule.
🚇 Getting there
The official route is Line 1 Hoegi Station, exit 1, then the Dongdaemun 01 village bus to Kyung Hee Medical Center. Walking is about 800 m.
No official figure exists for how long it takes to leave after a show. Leave margin for a last train.
Coming from abroad? The hall sits inside a university campus, so a taxi drop-off at the gate can still leave you a walk. Save 경희대학교 평화의전당 in your map app, and give the driver 경희의료원 (the medical centre) as the landmark — that is what the official route uses.
🅿️ Parking
Space count and rates are not published in the official material we could verify. The hall sits inside a university campus, so event-day arrangements can differ. If you are driving, check the official notice on the day.
💡 On the day
Entry — you may bring bottled water only; food is not allowed in the hall.
ID checks — David Byrne 2026 will-call required the booking record and the booker’s own physical ID. Discount tickets, wheelchair seats and fan-club verification differ per show; do not read them as a blanket rule for all attendees.
Merch — a TREASURE album and membership booth has run alongside a Peace Palace date before, but the location and hours are announced per artist, so treat it as a per-show booth rather than a permanent one.
Re-entry and nearby facilities are unconfirmed.
