Your Guide to the Perfect Seat at Honolulu’s Premier Venue

The Neal S. Blaisdell Center is Honolulu’s top multi-purpose arena, hosting concerts, sports, and cultural events. With a capacity of up to 8,800, it offers diverse seating options to suit every preference. This guide breaks down the seating chart, views, and tips to help you choose the best seats.

Seating Chart Overview

• Floor Seats (Sections A-D): Closest to the stage, ideal for concerts but may have limited elevation.
• Lower Bowl (Sections 101-112): Great sightlines with a balanced view, though side sections may have slight angles.
• Upper Bowl (Sections 201-208): Budget-friendly with a panoramic view, but farther from the action.

Best Seats for Different Events

• Concerts: Floor seats (rows 1-10) or lower bowl center (Sections 105-107) for unobstructed views.
• Sports: Lower bowl sidelines (Sections 102-104, 109-111) for optimal gameplay visibility.
• Theater Shows: Mid-level seats (Sections 101-112, rows 10-20) to see full stage details.

Seat Views & Obstructions

Lower bowl center offers the clearest sightlines, while side sections may have slight stage or court angles. Upper bowl seats provide a full-arena perspective but lack proximity. Avoid seats behind sound equipment or near aisles for minimal obstructions.

VIP & Accessibility

• VIP Suites: Private lounges with premium views and amenities.
• Accessible Seating: Wheelchair-accessible spots available in all sections; request early.

Tips for Choosing Seats

• Prioritize center sections for balanced views.
• Check seat maps for event-specific layouts (e.g., stage setup).
• Use price filters to find deals in mid-range sections.
