Your Ultimate Guide to the Best Seats at Empire Live

Empire Live is a premier entertainment venue known for hosting concerts, sports, and special events. With a capacity of over 10,000, it offers diverse seating options to suit every preference. This guide breaks down the Empire Live seating chart, helping you choose the perfect spot for an unforgettable experience.

Empire Live Seating Chart Overview

  • Floor Seats: Ideal for concerts, offering proximity to the stage. Standing-room sections may lack elevation.
  • Lower Bowl (100s): Great sightlines with a balanced view. Rows 1-10 are premium but pricier.
  • Upper Bowl (200s): Budget-friendly with a panoramic view. Higher rows may feel distant for some events.
  • VIP Sections: Exclusive perks like lounge access and premium sightlines. Best for luxury experiences.

Best Seats for Different Events

  • Concerts: Floor seats (Rows 1-15) or Lower Bowl center sections (e.g., 105-107).
  • Sports: Mid-Level (Sections 115-120) for a full-court/ice view.
  • Family Shows: Upper Bowl front rows (e.g., 201-205) for affordability and decent visibility.

Seat Views & Obstructions

  • Floor: Immersive but may have obstructed views if behind tall attendees.
  • Lower Bowl: Unobstructed sightlines, though side sections (e.g., 101-104) offer angled views.
  • Upper Bowl: Elevated perspective but farther from the action. Avoid rear rows for intimate events.

VIP & Accessibility

  • VIP Suites: Private lounges, catering, and premium seating. Ideal for corporate events.
  • Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible seating in all levels. Contact the box office for specific needs.

Tips for Choosing Seats

  • Use interactive seat maps to preview your view.
  • For budget tickets, aim for Upper Bowl front rows.
