Your Ultimate Guide to Navigating the New York Expo Center

The New York Expo Center, a premier venue for trade shows, concerts, and sporting events, offers versatile seating options to suit every preference. Known for its spacious layout and modern amenities, understanding its seating chart ensures you get the best experience. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect:

Seating Chart Overview

• Floor Sections: Ideal for concerts and close-up action, though standing-room events may limit visibility for shorter attendees.
• Lower Bowl: Elevated views with minimal obstructions, perfect for balanced sightlines at trade shows or performances.
• Upper Bowl: Budget-friendly with a panoramic perspective, but farther from the stage/action.

Best Seats by Event Type

• Concerts: Center floor or lower bowl (Sections 100-200) for unobstructed stage views.
• Sports: Mid-level sidelines (Sections 150-170) to track gameplay seamlessly.
• Trade Shows: Upper bowl (Sections 300+) for an overview of exhibits.

Seat Views & Obstructions

Lower bowl seats (Rows A-F) offer crisp views, while upper rows may have slight overhang obstructions. Avoid extreme side sections (e.g., 101/250) for skewed angles at stage events.

VIP & Accessibility

• VIP Suites: Private lounges, catering, and premium sightlines—ideal for corporate groups.
• Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible seating in every section, with companion seats available.

Pro Tips

• Use 3D seat maps (via TicketHold) to preview sightlines.
