Pavilion Seating Locations & Details

Fully covered by the pavilion roof
Stadium-style seats with assigned rows and numbers
Wide range of pricing depending on section and proximity

Pavilion seating is divided into three tiers:

Lower Pavilion (Sections 100–300)

The closest reserved seating sections behind the Pit.

Front row sits approximately five rows from the stage
Elevated slightly above the Pit, creating a strong viewing angle
Seats are positioned at or near stage height

These sections offer some of the best overall sightlines in the venue outside of the Pit.

Middle Pavilion (Sections 400–600)

Located just behind the Lower Pavilion, offering a strong balance of price and view.

Typically 20–30 rows from the stage
Elevated perspective improves visibility
More affordable than Lower Pavilion

Excellent value option for fans who want good views without premium pricing.

Upper Pavilion (Sections 700–900)

The largest sections in the venue, located at the back of the pavilion.

Large sections with 20+ rows
Elevated views of the stage and crowd

Key layout detail:

Walkway splits the section between Rows OO and PP
Best strategy: Sit within the first 15 rows to avoid disruption from foot traffic and maintain better sightlines

Views from Pavilion Seating

Middle Pavilion: Balanced perspective with strong value
Upper Pavilion: Elevated, more distant views but still clear

All sections benefit from a covered environment and unobstructed sound.

Pro Tips

"Awesome seats that are close to the stage!"
(Section 100) - ★★★★★ -
These are some of the best seats you can get here. Close to the stage with a great view. While they may be a little more expensive than others, they're certainly worth it if you're looking to get up close without going in the pit.

If you're not looking to spend too much money but want to avoid the lawn, these are a great option. Covered from the elements and still a good view of the stage!
