If you get there early you can sit within 5 feet from the stage in the concert hall/dining room.
You can almost touch them! It's a dining room / concert hall. It is first come first serve, so you'll have to be early to get a good seat. The food is really good, and they have alcohol for sale as well.
As stated previously, it is festival seating so you will need to get there early enough to get a seat at a close table. I have seen reserved tables, but I think the artists reserve those seats for their special guests. Nevertheless, call the Birchmere, explain your situation and perhaps they will accommodate you. Who knows? Good luck. Great venue!
