Your Complete Guide to the Best Seats at South Okanagan Events Centre

The South Okanagan Events Centre (SOEC) in Penticton, BC, is a premier venue hosting concerts, hockey games, and live events. With a capacity of 5,000+, its versatile layout offers great sightlines, but choosing the right seat enhances your experience. Here’s a breakdown:

Seating Chart Overview

• Lower Bowl (Sections 101–108): Closest to the action, ideal for concerts and sports. Center sections (103–106) offer unobstructed views, while side sections may have slight angle distortions.
• Upper Bowl (Sections 201–208): Elevated perspective, budget-friendly. Rows A–D provide clear views, but higher rows feel distant for intimate performances.
• Floor Seating: Temporary setup for concerts; rows 1–5 are VIP-worthy but lack elevation.

Best Seats for Different Events

• Concerts: Sections 103–106 (rows 5–15) balance proximity and elevation. Avoid extreme sides near stage wings.
• Hockey: Sections 104–105 (center ice) or 201–202 (upper center) for panoramic views.

VIP & Accessibility

• VIP Suites: Private boxes with catering; book early for premium events.
• Accessibility: Designated seating in Sections 102/107 (lower) and 202/207 (upper) with companion spots.

Tips for Choosing Seats

• Check view-from-seat tools for obstructions like railings.
• For budget options, upper bowl rows A–D still deliver solid sightlines.
