Chartway Arena Seating Guide: Best Seats, Views & Tips

Your Complete Guide to the Ted Constant Convocation Center

Chartway Arena at Ted Constant Convocation Center is a premier 8,600-seat venue in Norfolk, Virginia, hosting concerts, sports, and family shows. Known for its intimate atmosphere and modern amenities, it offers diverse seating to suit every preference. Here’s how to navigate its layout for the best experience.

Seating Chart Breakdown

• Lower Bowl (Sections 101–108): Closest to the action, ideal for concerts and basketball. Rows A–F are premium but may have limited legroom.
• Upper Bowl (Sections 201–208): Elevated views with wider angles, great for budget-conscious fans. Avoid back rows for clearer sightlines.
• Floor Seats: Unbeatable proximity for concerts (foldable chairs) but lack elevation for sports.
• Corners (Sections 109/110, 209/210): Slightly obstructed views during hockey but affordable.

Best Seats by Event

• Concerts: Center floor (Rows 1–10) or lower bowl middle (Sections 104–105).
• Basketball: Sideline lower bowl (Sections 102–107, Rows A–L).
• Family Shows: Upper bowl front rows (Sections 203–206) for easy exits.

VIP & Accessibility

• Suites: Private lounges with catering; book early for groups.
• ADA Seating: Wheelchair-accessible spots in every section; request companion seats.
• Tips: Use the arena’s 3D viewer online, check for obstructed views behind stage setups, and arrive early for floor seats.
