Madison Square Garden Behind the Stage for Concerts

section 113, row 18 seat view for concert - madison square garden

Features & Amenities

For some shows at Madison Square Garden, seats will be sold behind the stage. These seats will have a view to the stage, but fans purchasing these tickets should understand there will likely be some obstructions to seeing the show.

Fans purchasing tickets behind the stage should be aware of the following:

  • Content or visuals projected on screens may be out of view
  • Portions of the stage may be obstructed by lighting or equipment
  • The performance will face the other direction
    • Majority of the show will be looking at the performer's back


Difference by Level

The views from behind the stage differ greatly by level at Madison Square Garden. Those seated in the 100 level, 200 level, and Madison Club will have the clearest views of the stage.

The window out to the stage in the 400 level is greatly restricted by the height of the level and overhang above. It is the least desirable location behind the stage for this reason.

The 300 level balcony seats have clearer views, but views are steep to the stage due to the height. Fans with a fear of heights might want to stay away.

Note: These seats are highlighted on the map

      (Section 216) - ★★★★★ -

      For the price, the best seat in the house - full view of the band and the stage. No one in front of us to block the view. Great access to aisles and to concessions.
