Your Ultimate Guide to the Best Seats at Santa Clara County Fairgrounds

The Santa Clara County Fairgrounds is a versatile venue hosting concerts, fairs, and sporting events. Known for its open-air pavilions and intimate settings, understanding its seating chart ensures you get the best experience. Here’s a breakdown of seating options, views, and tips to help you choose wisely.

Seating Chart Overview

  • Grandstand: Central views, ideal for concerts and races. Mid-tier pricing with slight obstructions from support beams in some rows.
  • Pavilion Seating: Covered area with clear sightlines, perfect for daytime events. Limited legroom in older sections.
  • General Admission Lawn: Budget-friendly but distant views. Bring blankets for comfort—best for festivals.

Best Seats by Event Type

  • Concerts: Sections 100-200 (Grandstand) offer balanced sound and visibility.
  • Rodeos/Fairs: Front-row Pavilion seats for shade and proximity to action.
  • Family Events: Lawn seating for space and affordability.

Seat Views & Obstructions

Lower Grandstand (Rows 1-10) provides unobstructed views, while upper rows may have partial stage obstructions. Pavilion seats avoid sun glare but check for pillar interference.

VIP & Accessibility

  • VIP Boxes: Private seating with catering options. Book early for premium events.
  • Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible platforms in Grandstand and Pavilion. Request companion seating when purchasing.

Pro Tips

  • Use TicketHold’s interactive map to preview your view before buying.
  • For concerts, aim for center sections to avoid sound distortion.
