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'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.
- 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 holds 5,900 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 Greek Theatre 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 Greek Theatre map before you buy.
