Greek Theatre Seating Chart
The Greek Theatre is an open-air amphitheater tucked into Griffith Park, shaded by trees and known for warm acoustics and an intimate scale. A Los Angeles concert institution since 1930, it hosts touring artists from late spring through fall under the night sky.
Sections at Greek Theatre
Greek Theatre breaks down into these 6 main sections. The one printed on your ticket sets your price, your distance, and your view, so read it against this list before you buy — and note the layout can shift between a game, a concert, and a private buyout.
- Terrace A — front orchestra rows closest to the stage
- Terrace B and C — lower bowl center sections
- Lower Terrace sides — angled seats flanking the stage
- Balcony — elevated covered rows behind the lower bowl
- Upper Terrace — top sections farthest from the stage
- Box seats — premium reserved boxes near the front
Best seats at Greek Theatre
Terrace A and B center rows give the best mix of proximity and sound. The lower Balcony is a sleeper pick — elevated, often shaded, and pointed straight at the stage without the side-section angle.
Tips before you go
Stacked parking means you may be boxed in until the cars ahead leave, so consider the park-and-ride shuttle or rideshare. Bring a light layer because Griffith Park cools off fast after sunset, and the venue allows sealed water bottles.
How to read the Greek Theatre seating chart
Greek Theatre seats 5,900 across a fan of seating that faces one stage, and its chart is organized into 6 named sections — Terrace A, Terrace B and C, Lower Terrace sides, Balcony, Upper Terrace, and Box seats. The exact label on your ticket is what pins your spot: a seat two sections over can sit a level higher, a price tier apart, or on the opposite side of the room.
Three things decide a Greek Theatre seat: how far back you are, whether you're covered or out on the open lawn, and how centered you are on the stage. Two sections apart — say Box seats and Terrace A — can put you a level higher, a price tier over, or on the far side of the Los Angeles venue, so which one is the value sweet spot comes down to the event and your budget; the best-seats notes above call it for Greek Theatre. Match your ticket to the official Greek Theatre map — section, row, and seat — before you buy.
For scale: at 5,900 seats, Greek Theatre ranks 35th of the 53 California venues in this guide by capacity — Ironstone Amphitheatre (6,000) is the next size up, Santa Barbara Bowl (4,562) the next size down.
