How to read the Hayden Homes Amphitheater seating chart
Check your ticket type. A general admission ticket is for the grass lawn, which slopes gently up from the stage. A reserved ticket puts you in one of sections A to J near the stage, where chairs are provided. A Premium GA ticket, sold only at some shows, gets you into a pit-style area.
The Bend Bulletin reported in 2024 that the venue may use one of five seating layouts. The same ticket type can sit in a different spot from one show to the next. The Deck and Luxury Cabanas are the VIP areas.
The front third of the venue is flat, with concrete paths between sections of synthetic turf, and accessible seats are offered in both reserved and general admission areas. ADA parking is on Shevlin-Hixon Drive for every show, a ListenTech system helps with hearing, and ASL interpreters need a week's notice.
