TicketHold | George R. Brown Convention Center Seating Chart & Seat Views Guide

Your Complete Guide to the Best Seats at Houston’s Premier Venue

The George R. Brown Convention Center, a cornerstone of Houston’s downtown events scene, hosts concerts, conventions, and sports with versatile seating. Our guide breaks down its layout, views, and tips for the perfect experience.

Seating Chart Overview

• Main Floor: Flat-floor setup for concerts (great proximity) but limited elevation.
• Lower Bowl: Elevated views ideal for conventions; some side sections may have angled sightlines.
• Upper Bowl: Budget-friendly with panoramic views but farther from the action.

Best Seats by Event Type

• Concerts: Center floor (rows 10–20) or lower bowl (Sections 100–110) for balanced sound/visibility.
• Sports: Mid-level sidelines (Sections 200s) to track plays without neck strain.
• Conventions: Front-row upper bowl (Section 300s) for expansive booth views.

Seat Views & Obstructions

Lower bowl center offers unobstructed sightlines, while extreme side sections may have partial stage/scoreboard blockage. Upper rows provide a full-stage perspective but lack intimacy.

VIP & Accessibility

• VIP Suites: Private lounges with catering; ideal for corporate groups.
• Accessibility: Designated ADA seating on all levels with companion seats.

Pro Tips

• Use 3D seat maps (via TicketHold) to preview sightlines.
• For budget seats, aim for upper bowl center—avoid rear corners.
• Check event-specific setups (e.g., stage configuration) before booking.
