View interactive seating →- For concerts, lower bowl sections facing the stage center give the best overall experience. Floor general admission puts you closest to the action but requires early arrival. Upper bowl center sections often provide better sightlines than lower bowl corners.
- Corner sections at either end of the lower bowl can have awkward angles depending on stage placement. Sections behind the stage (when used) are priced accordingly.
- Check the specific stage configuration for your event — end-stage, center-stage, and in-the-round setups each create very different best-seat scenarios.
- Arena configurations vary per show — roughly 60–70% of capacity is typically used for concerts, so some sections may be curtained off.
