BOK Center Seating Chart
BOK Center is the striking glass-and-steel arena anchoring downtown Tulsa, designed by Cesar Pelli. It is the city's main stop for arena concert tours, family shows, and Oilers hockey, with a curving facade that has become a Tulsa landmark since 2008.
Sections at BOK Center
BOK Center's seating bowl is organized into the following main sections. Section layout differs by event — a sports configuration and a concert configuration of the same arena are not the same chart.
- Lower bowl 100s — full ring around the floor and ice
- Suite level — premium boxes ringing the mid-tier
- Upper bowl 300s — second deck wrapping the bowl
- Floor sections — reserved or GA for concerts
- Loge boxes near the lower bowl
- Standing-room rails on the upper concourse
Best seats at BOK Center
For concerts, lower 100-level sections facing the stage stay close while center upper-bowl rows keep the full stage in frame at a lower price. End-stage shows make sections 101-103 and 113-115 the prime straight-on picks.
Tips before you go
Downtown garages on 3rd and Denver feed right into the arena district. The upper bowl is steep but compact, so even back rows feel near the floor, and the surrounding Brady Arts District has plenty of pre-show dining within walking distance.
How to read the BOK Center seating chart
BOK Center seats 19,199 in a bowl that wraps a central court, rink, or stage, so reading the chart starts at center and works outward. The lower bowl rings the floor closest to the action; a club or suite level sits in the middle; the upper bowl climbs above for the widest view. Lower-number sections sit nearest the action, and whether you are along a sideline or behind a baseline changes the view as much as the level does.
Three things decide an BOK Center seat: how close you are to the floor, whether you face the action square on or from a baseline, and how high you sit. For an arena this size, the value sweet spot is usually the first few rows of the upper tier at center — close enough to read the play, cheap enough to justify, and high enough for the full picture. For a concert the stage usually sits at one end, so cross-check the official BOK Center map against your ticket before you buy: a seat that's perfect for a game can sit behind the stage for a show.
