Bethel Woods Center For The Arts Seating Chart & Seat Views Guide

Introduction to Bethel Woods

Nestled in the Catskills, Bethel Woods is a historic outdoor amphitheater famous for its connection to the 1969 Woodstock Festival. With a capacity of 15,000, it offers a mix of lawn seating and reserved sections, blending natural beauty with world-class acoustics.

Seating Chart Overview

• Pavilion Seating (Sections 100-300): Covered reserved seats with excellent sightlines. Front sections (100-200) offer proximity to the stage, while 300-level provides a elevated, panoramic view.
• Lawn Seating: Affordable general admission on a sloping grassy area. Bring blankets for comfort, but expect distant views—screens help visibility.

Best Seats for Different Events

• Concerts: Sections 100-200 (center) for balanced sound and views. Avoid extreme sides (Rows A-F in 100-level may have obstructed sightlines due to stage height).
• Festivals: Lawn seating for a relaxed vibe, or VIP Pavilion for shaded comfort.

Seat Views & Obstructions

Pavilion seats have minimal obstructions, but lawn attendees should arrive early for optimal spots. Side sections (e.g., 101/103) offer angled stage views—ideal for budget-conscious fans.

VIP & Accessibility

• VIP Suites: Private boxes with premium amenities and dedicated entrances.
• Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible seating in all sections; request when booking.

Choosing Your Seats

Prioritize center Pavilion seats for acoustics, or opt for the lawn for budget-friendly space. Check Bethel Woods’ interactive seating map for real-time views before purchasing.
