TicketHold | Tortuga's Nest Seating Chart & Seat Views Guide

Your Ultimate Guide to the Best Seats at Tortuga's Nest

Tortuga's Nest is a premier outdoor amphitheater known for its intimate atmosphere and stunning oceanfront views. With a capacity of 12,000, it hosts concerts, festivals, and special events, offering a mix of general admission and reserved seating. This guide breaks down the seating chart, highlights the best sections, and helps you choose the perfect spot for your next event.

Seating Chart Overview

  • Front Pit (GA): Standing-room-only area closest to the stage—ideal for superfans but lacks seating.
  • Lower Bowl (Sections 101-105): Elevated reserved seating with unobstructed views, though side sections may have slight angle limitations.
  • Upper Bowl (Sections 201-205): Budget-friendly with a panoramic perspective, but farther from the stage.
  • Lawn (GA): Spacious grassy area at the rear; bring blankets for comfort but expect limited visibility.

Best Seats for Different Events

  • Concerts: Lower Bowl center (Sections 102-103) for balanced sound and sightlines.
  • Festivals: Lawn for flexibility or VIP boxes for shaded comfort.
  • Family Shows: Upper Bowl aisles (easy access to restrooms/concessions).

Seat Views & Obstructions

Lower Bowl rows A-F avoid overhang shadows, while Upper Bowl rows 10+ may have slight sound delay. Avoid extreme side sections (101/105) for centered visuals.

VIP & Accessibility

  • VIP Suites: Private lounges with catering and premium sightlines.
  • Accessible Seating: Designated areas in Lower Bowl and Lawn with companion seats.

Pro Tips

  • Use TicketHold’s 3D view to preview your seat.
  • Check sunset times for Lawn seats—bring sunglasses!
  • Arrive early for GA sections to secure prime spots.
