Live Oak Bank Pavilion Seating Chart & Seat Views – Best Spots for Concerts & Events

Your Guide to the Perfect Seat at Wilmington’s Premier Outdoor Venue

Live Oak Bank Pavilion at Riverfront Park is Wilmington’s top outdoor amphitheater, hosting major concerts, festivals, and events. With a capacity of 7,200, this riverside venue offers a mix of reserved seating, lawn spots, and VIP options. Here’s how to navigate the seating chart for the best experience.

Seating Chart Breakdown

• Front Orchestra (Sections 1-3): Closest to the stage, ideal for clear views but pricier. Rows A-F are unbeatable for intimacy.
• Rear Orchestra (Sections 4-6): Slightly elevated for better sightlines over taller attendees. Mid-range pricing.
• Lawn (General Admission): Budget-friendly with a relaxed vibe, but bring a blanket. Screens help visibility.

Best Seats by Event Type

• Concerts: Front Orchestra (center) for immersion, or side sections (1/3) for angled but closer views.
• Festivals: Lawn for space to move, or rear orchestra for a balance of comfort and visibility.

Seat View Tips

• Avoid extreme side sections (far left/right) for distorted stage views.
• Lawn seats slope upward, so higher rows still offer decent sightlines.

VIP & Accessibility

• VIP Pit: Standing-room-only at the stage front—perfect for superfans.
• Suites: Covered seating with premium amenities; book early.
• Accessibility: Designated ADA seating in multiple sections; request when purchasing.

Pro Tips

Check weather forecasts for lawn seats, and use the venue’s virtual view tool before buying. For budget tickets, rear orchestra or early-entry lawn passes offer great value.
