End-stage concert
Obstructed-risk
- Distance to stage
- ≈ 25 m (82 ft)
- Position
- Behind the stage
- Level
- Upper bowl
Upper bowl directly behind the end stage. For a standard end-stage concert the stage, screens and lighting rig all face away — treat this as a listening seat, and for many shows it is not sold at all.
Center-stage (360°) concert
Good
- Distance to stage
- ≈ 52 m (171 ft)
- Position
- In the round — all sections face the stage
- Level
- Upper bowl
Upper-bowl seat for a center-stage show. Elevation helps here: you look down into the round stage and see the full production geometry, at a longer distance.
