Section 1 at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts

Reserved Seating

When looking at tickets for a Bethel Woods concert there are a few different options for reserved seating. Besides for the upscale Box Seats, numbered sections in the Pavilion have assigned seating. Orchestra Sections  Bethel Woods features two levels of Orchestra seating. The first level includes Sections 1-5 which are the closest seats to the stage. Row AA is the first row in each section, directly followed by Row A. For some concerts a general admission Pit is placed in front of Sections 1-5. When this is the case, the first row in these sections gets pushed back. Sections 6-11 and 100 are the second tier of Orchestra seats. Sections at the center start at Row G behind the Box Seats and sections on the edge start at Row A. All Orchestra sections are completely covered and well-shaded. Bench Sections  Sections 12-18 are at the rear of the pavilion in front of the Lawn. These are the cheapest way to get a reserved seat under the roof. Among these, sections 16 and 18 are the last to be completely in the shade. As the name suggests, seats in these sections are bench-style and not the stadium-style seats found in the rest of the venue.
