Blue Square Seoul Seating Chart: Which Hall, Which Level

Last verified August 28, 2026

This page is for someone holding a Blue Square ticket, or about to buy one, who wants to know where the seat actually is. Getting to the building and finding your way inside it is the first article in this series. Blue Square publishes all of this in Korean and its site carries no English edition, so the English wording below is ours.

Which hall the chart belongs to

Two halls sit under one roof and they are not variations on each other. The musical house is 우리은행홀, which the facilities page calls a 뮤지컬 전용 공연장 — a hall for musicals and nothing else. The concert hall is 우리WON뱅킹홀, and it is the one that can be reshaped between seated and standing.

The English names are close enough to swap by accident. Woori Bank Hall is the musical one; Woori WON Banking Hall is the concert one — the WON is the tell.

Older names are still in circulation. NOL World records that the concert hall was “previously known as Blue Square Mastercard Hall and SOL Travel Hall” before its present name — three names for one room. VisitKorea’s English entry, read on 2026-08-28, has not moved at all: it files them under the pre-renaming pair, Shinhan Card Hall for the musical hall and Mastercard Hall for the concert hall. If a seating chart you found online is labelled Shinhan Card Hall or Mastercard Hall, it is a chart of one of these two halls under a name the venue no longer uses.

Why the published seat counts disagree

Search for the size of either hall and the answer changes with the page. For the musical hall, Blue Square’s own facilities page gives 1,766 seats. VisitKorea’s English entry gives 1,776, ten more. No NOL World venue page for that hall turned up, so it has two published figures rather than three.

The concert hall’s figures spread wider. The facilities page gives 1,379 seats in its seated layout, VisitKorea gives 1,400, and NOL World describes it as “a premier 1,300-seat concert venue”. None of those pages carries a revision date, so there is no way from the pages themselves to put them in order. They are printed here as published.

For finding your own seat, none of these totals is the useful number. A total tells you how big the room is; the level breakdown tells you where you will be sitting, and on that the venue’s own pages are internally consistent. Use the facilities page figures below, and treat any English total you meet elsewhere as approximate.

Woori Bank Hall, level by level

The musical hall is bottom-heavy. Level 1 carries 1,066 of the 1,766 seats, which is more than levels 2 and 3 together. Level 2 has 430 and level 3 has 270. If your ticket says 객석 1층 you are in the largest section, not a small one — and, as the first article in this series sets out, that section is on building floor B1F rather than at street level.

Level 1 is also where the special seating sits. The facilities page counts 76 orchestra-pit seats inside that level’s total, along with 18 wheelchair spaces and 14 parent-and-child seats. The FAQ places the wheelchair spaces at the rear of the level.

Two distances come from the same page, and they are the venue’s own measurements rather than an independent survey. On level 1 it puts about 27m between the front of the stage and the back row. Between the stage and row 1 of level 2 it gives 18.5m, which it describes as 국내 최단 거리, the shortest such distance in the country. It also says the seats are laid out 교차 형식, and that the arrangement is for comfortable viewing. The page does not explain the term; it is the standard word for rows offset against each other.

How Woori WON Banking Hall changes shape

The concert hall has two published layouts, and which one applies is decided by the show rather than by the building. Seated, level 1 holds 998 and level 2 holds 381, for the 1,379 total above. Standing, only level 1 changes — level 2 stays seated at 381, including its 10 wheelchair spaces.

The standing capacity is the value that will not settle, and the facilities page uses one number at two scales. It heads the hall at 스탠딩 2,400석 and also gives level 1 a maximum of 2,400 with 2,000 recommended. The FAQ, on the same site, puts the hall at 스탠딩 약 2,800명. Hall against hall, that is 2,400 against about 2,800, and this article does not work out how the two relate. The two documents do agree on the seated total of 1,379; only the standing figure differs.

Standing does not mean roaming. The FAQ states that standing shows here are confined to a designated zone. Entry order is sometimes by booking number and sometimes first-come, depending on the show. A standing ticket therefore confines you to a designated zone rather than a seat number.

What the seat map does not tell you

The FAQ points you to the charts themselves: they sit on the 공연시설 page under each hall’s entry, which is the same page the seat totals come from. What that chart carries, and what it leaves to your show’s own notice, divides cleanly.

	Published by the venue	Decided per show
Hall layout	Levels, seat totals per level, wheelchair positions	Whether the concert hall is seated or standing
Seats	Fixed numbering and assigned seating in the seated layouts	Grade names and prices, which the venue’s pages do not carry
Standing	That level 1 becomes a standing floor, within a designated zone	Entry order — by booking number or first-come
Admission	That age limits exist and that an accompanying adult does not override them	The actual age limit for that production

Two consequences follow for anyone reading a chart before buying. First, none of the six charts read here names a grade, and only five of them carry numbered seats. They were opened on 2026-08-28. The sixth is the standing floor plan for level 1, and it draws nothing but a console box — no zones, no numbers. Two colour blocks sit on the rear rows, and their counts match the 18 wheelchair spaces and 14 parent-and-child seats the same page lists. The charts carry no legend, so that pairing is ours. Any grade colouring you meet comes from the show’s own booking page: a NOL World product page for a Blue Square musical, read the same day, listed VIP, R, S and A grades with prices. Second, seating is assigned. The FAQ says Blue Square runs 지정좌석제 and that moving to another seat is not permitted, so for a seated ticket the seat printed on the ticket is the seat.

Wheelchair seating is the one booking that does not run through a chart at all. The FAQ routes it to a phone number, 1544-1591, open 09:00 to 18:00 year-round; the spaces themselves are marked on the level tables above. That is a Korean national representative number, and the pages read here do not say whether it can be dialled from outside Korea.

Another Seoul hall does it the other way round. KSPO Dome names its grades — VIP, R, S and A appear in that venue’s own FAQ as the usual set, and the grades for any given show are the organiser’s. The six Blue Square charts read here name no grades at all.
