The complex has three separate halls, so do not add their capacities together: a performance uses one room. The Schouwburgzaal is the largest, with 850 seats including two balconies. The Concertzaal seats 750, also including two balconies, and its first six rows can be removed or rearranged. The Studio seats 168 on its tribunes in theatre setup and can also be used as a flat-floor room.

For scale, 013, the pop venue nearby, holds 3,000 people; the Koning Willem II Stadion in Tilburg holds 14,637. Both are very different rooms from a theatre, but they show how the halls sit in the city's venue landscape.

You choose a specific seat for the Schouwburg and Concertzaal when you book. The seat map shows available seats in white and your selection in red; the Studio is a flexible room, so its layout depends on the show.

Both main halls have two balconies. In the Schouwburg the balconies are not reached by the lift, so visitors who cannot manage stairs should choose a stalls or loge seat. In the Concertzaal the first six rows can disappear or move for a different stage layout, and the hydraulic stage can be extended.

• Book early for the Schouwburg if you need a stalls or loge seat: the balconies are only reached by stairs.
• In the Concertzaal, rows 1-6 may be missing from the plan when a show uses the extended stage or a standing floor.
• Wheelchair spaces are not sold online; book them through Ticketservice (see Accessibility).
• The standard plans are linked from the ticket FAQ, but the plan in the ticket shop is the one for your performance.

Tilburg station is the nearest station. The venue's own route says 10 minutes on foot; the measured walking route is 1,080 m, about 15 minutes at a normal pace. Bus 7 or 8 from the station bus station stops at Schouwburgring, opposite the theatre; buses 1 and 2 also stop within a few minutes.

The complex has two visitor entrances: Schouwburg and Studio at Louis Bouwmeesterplein 1, and Concertzaal at Kloosterstraat 1. The hall on your ticket decides which one to use.

The venue's travel page gives no late-night train or bus times. For a late show, check the NS or OV journey planner on the day; P1 Koningsplein is open 24/7, 4 minutes' walk away, and the covered Dwaalgebied bike storage stays open until 01:00 as fallbacks.

• Bisschop Zwijsenstraat (buses 1 and 2) is 300 m, 5 minutes; Piusplein (1, 2, 7 and 8) is 470 m, 7 minutes.
• By bike, use the free covered storage at the Concertzaal on Schouwburgring or the Dwaalgebied storage at Heuvelstraat, open until 01:00.
• By car, allow extra time on Thursday evenings and Sundays, when the centre is busy, and note the changed traffic circulation around Schouwburgring.

Four P1 garages are within a 10-minute walk. The closest is P1 Schouwburg on Louis Bouwmeesterplein 2, next to the theatre: 260 m, about 4 minutes. P1 Koningsplein is the same distance and is the only one open 24/7; P1 Emmapassage (which the venue calls Emmaplein) is 380 m, 6 minutes, and P1 Pieter Vreedeplein is 740 m, 10 minutes.

All four charge the same: €2.50 per hour Monday to Friday, €3.50 per hour at the weekend, a €25 day maximum and a €0.50 minimum. The Schouwburg garage has 1.90 m clearance and does not allow motorcycles. On Thursday evenings and Sundays the centre is busier, and road changes around Schouwburgring can add time.
