Indigo Girls & Melissa Etheridge at Pinewood Bowl Theater - Best Seats & Deals

Pinewood Bowl Theater Seating Guide: Where to Sit for the Best Experience

Pinewood Bowl's unique outdoor amphitheater offers excellent sightlines from most sections, but there are important differences between ELK, BISON, and PIT sections that affect both price and experience. Below we break down the best value options, sweet spots, and premium choices for this Indigo Girls/Melissa Etheridge concert.

Best Value Tickets (Under $90)

• ELK Sections (Rows 19-26): These rear sections offer the most affordable tickets. While farther back, the bowl-style seating ensures good stage visibility. Best deals:
  • ELK B Row 22 ($82) - Center-right view
  • ELK D Row 21 ($82) - Center-left view
  • ELK C Row 21 ($82) - Dead center but higher up
• Note: Rows 25-26 are at the very back - you'll save $5-10 but lose some audio clarity.

Sweet Spot Tickets ($90-$120) - Best Balance of Price & View

• BISON Sections (Rows 17-28): Mid-range sections with significantly better views than ELK:
  • BISON D Row 23 ($113) - Excellent center-left angle
  • BISON B Row 22 ($113) - Mirror of D section on right side
  • BISON E Row 17 ($117) - Closest BISON section to stage
• Front ELK Rows (1-12): First half of ELK sections:
  • ELK C Row 8 ($96) - Front-center ELK seats
  • ELK D Row 5 ($100) - Steeper angle but closer

Higher Tier Options ($120-$200) - Premium Views

• Front BISON Rows (1-16): Exceptional sightlines:
  • BISON A Row 5 ($149) - Front-left premium
  • BISON E Row 3 ($150) - Front-right with slight angle
• ELK Front Row: ELK C Row 1 ($135-150) - Only front row available in ELK sections

Premium/Pit Tickets ($200+) - Closest Possible

• PIT Sections: True front-row experience:
  • PIT A Row 10 ($202) - Left pit section
  • PIT C Row 9 ($202) - Right pit section
  • PIT B Row 13 ($264) - Center pit (most expensive)
• BISON Front Row: BISON E Row 1 ($200-225) - First row of elevated seating

Key View Differences

• ELK vs BISON: BISON sections are about 15-20 yards closer than ELK with steeper incline for better sightlines over heads
• Center vs Side: Odd-numbered sections (A,C,E) are left/right while even (B,D) are more centered
• PIT Warning: Pit is standing room only - arrive early for spot near stage

Our Top Recommendations

• Best Budget Pick: ELK C Row 21 ($82) - Save money while keeping center view
• Best Value: BISON D Row 23 ($113) - Big view upgrade for modest price jump
• Premium Choice: BISON E Row 3 ($150) - Front section without pit prices
• Ultimate Experience: PIT B Row 11 ($268) - Dead center pit position

Special Notes for This Event

For this acoustic-focused Indigo Girls/Melissa Etheridge show, mid-range seats (BISON 17-23) actually offer superior sound quality compared to the pit, where the natural amphitheater acoustics are less pronounced. The artists will be using minimal staging, so sightlines are less crucial than at a typical rock show.
