Toyota Pavilion at Concord Seating Chart
An open-air amphitheater in the East Bay city of Concord, designed by architect Frank Gehry and opened in 1975. Long known simply as the Concord Pavilion, the bowl pairs a covered reserved section with a grass lawn and has anchored Bay Area summer touring for decades under several sponsor names.

Toyota Pavilion at Concord'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.
- Reserved Orchestra — front rows closest to the stage

- Reserved Upper — back of the fixed-seat section
- Lawn — general-admission grass terraces
- Box seats — premium positions near the stage
- ADA seating — accessible positions in the reserved area
Best seats at Toyota Pavilion at Concord
Reserved orchestra and lower sections near center put you under cover with a direct sightline and the venue's strong acoustics. The lawn rises in tiers rather than a single slope, so the front lawn edge is the value pick with a real view.
Tips before you go
East Bay evenings cool off fast once the sun drops behind the hills, so bring a layer even on a hot afternoon. The lawn is terraced with retaining walls, which means a low chair works better than a blanket on the uneven steps.
How to read the Toyota Pavilion at Concord seating chart
Toyota Pavilion at Concord holds 12,500 across a fan of seating that all faces one stage, so reading the chart comes down to a single axis: distance from the stage. Reserved pavilion or orchestra sections sit closest and are usually covered; numbered rows climb back under the roof, and beyond them the general-admission lawn rises on open grass. The lower the section number, the closer to the stage — and the side you sit on decides whether you face the performers straight on or at an angle.
Three things decide an Toyota Pavilion at Concord seat: how far back you are, whether you are covered or out on the open lawn, and how centered you are on the stage. For an amphitheater this size, the value sweet spot is usually the last few covered rows at center or the front of the lawn — close enough to see the stage, cheap enough to justify, and shielded from sun or a passing shower. Lawn seating is first-come within its area, so arrive early, and cross-check the official Toyota Pavilion at Concord map before you buy.
