Approximately 8,500 standing places can be created if the entire stalls of Hall 1 are fully occupied. This number is achieved if the stage is positioned at the front or in the middle. This arrangement is ideal for large concerts and events where a maximum number of visitors needs to be reached.
An alternative stalls layout in the entire Hall 1 allows for approx. 6,000 standing places if a backstage area is also set up behind the stage. This configuration offers an excellent balance between audience capacity and functionality for artists and event staff.
The use of the grandstand for 2,000 people, supplemented by seating for just over 2,000 people on the stalls, including a backstage area, creates an intimate event experience that still accommodates a large audience.
A slightly smaller, but still spacious arrangement consists of grandstand seating for over 1,200 people and parquet seating for over 1,000 people, supplemented by a backstage area. This constellation is ideal for medium-sized events, promoting a closer connection between audience and artist.
Parquet seating in hall section A2 (see sketch under seating options) for up to 1,500 people is an excellent choice for smaller events or performances that require a private atmosphere without sacrificing professional equipment and comfort.
Each of these configurations can be tailored specifically to the needs of your event.

"One of the best addresses for larger concerts in southern Germany. We have hosted Deichkind, (Absolute) Beginner and Alligatoah in the Schwabenhalle. The helpful and friendly team at Messe Augsburg provided us with active and uncomplicated support in all matters. We would love to come back!"

"The Strandkorb Open Air 2021 with 32 events and over 30,000 visitors will always be remembered for this extraordinary time. The trade fair team did an excellent job and Augsburg will definitely be on the tour schedule for many artists in the future. The entire MHV team would like to thank you for the great cooperation."
