Best seats at Ameris Bank Amphitheatre
The lawn is uncovered and every show is rain or shine, so a reserved seat is the way to stay dry. When the venue was built, the covered area held 4,750 fixed seats, 46 box suites and 2,068 removable seats, according to Building Design+Construction; the venue does not list its covered sections one by one. On the lawn, the Reserved Lawn at the bottom gives you an Adirondack chair, and the Overlook Terrace at the top has its own bar.
