The Ship Seating Chart & Seat Views – Best Seats for Every Event

Your Guide to Navigating The Ship’s Seating Layout

The Ship is a premier entertainment venue known for its intimate yet vibrant atmosphere, hosting concerts, sports, and special events. With a capacity of 5,000, it offers a mix of general admission, reserved seating, and VIP options. Understanding the seating chart ensures you pick the perfect spot for your experience.

Seating Chart Breakdown

• Floor (General Admission): Standing-room only, ideal for energetic concerts but lacks seating.
• Lower Bowl (Sections 100-200): Close to the stage with elevated views, though side angles may be slightly skewed.
• Upper Bowl (Sections 300-400): Budget-friendly with a panoramic view, but farther from the action.

Best Seats by Event Type

• Concerts: Center floor (for energy) or lower bowl middle rows (for comfort).
• Sports: Sections 100-150 near mid-court/center ice for optimal sightlines.
• Theater Shows: Front of upper bowl (Section 300) for an unobstructed, full-stage view.

Seat Views & Obstructions

Lower bowl seats offer proximity but may have slight overhang obstructions in back rows. Upper bowl provides a clear overhead view but lacks detail. Avoid extreme side sections (101-103, 398-400) for performances with elaborate stage setups.

VIP & Accessibility

• VIP Suites: Private lounges, catering, and premium sightlines (Sections VIP1-VIP5).
• Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible seating in every tier, with companion seats available.

Pro Tips

• Use virtual view tools to preview your seat.
• For budget tickets, upper bowl center rows balance cost and view.
• Arrive early for GA floor spots near the stage.
