Hollywood Palladium Seating Chart
A 1940 art deco ballroom on Sunset Boulevard, the Hollywood Palladium is a flat-floor general-admission concert hall with a small balcony. Its streamline-moderne curves and wide-open floor have made it a defining Los Angeles room for rock and electronic shows.
Sections at Hollywood Palladium
Hollywood Palladium'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.
- General admission floor — standing area in front of the stage
- Balcony — reserved or VIP seating overlooking the floor
- VIP mezzanine — elevated bar and lounge areas
- Pit — front section nearest the stage on some shows
Best seats at Hollywood Palladium
The floor is flat, so height matters — stand center about 25 feet back to see over the crowd, or aim for the balcony rail for a clear elevated view. The balcony front is the best seated option in the room.
Tips before you go
The flat floor means short attendees should target the balcony or arrive early for the rail. Sunset Boulevard parking is tight, so use the venue lot or rideshare. Doors and set times run late, typical of a Hollywood club night.
How to read the Hollywood Palladium seating chart
Hollywood Palladium seats 3,700 on stacked levels facing the stage, so reading the chart means thinking in tiers rather than rings. The orchestra — the main floor — sits closest to the stage; above it the mezzanine and then the balcony step back and up, and box seats line the sides. Lower row letters are nearer the stage, center sections face it square on, and side sections trade a straight view for a lower price.
Three things decide a Hollywood Palladium seat: how far from the stage you are, whether you sit center or off toward a side aisle, and which level you are on. For a theater this size, the value sweet spot is usually the front of the mezzanine at center — an unobstructed, elevated view of the whole stage without orchestra-row prices. Watch for overhang and any "partial view" note on your seat, and cross-check the official Hollywood Palladium map before you buy.
Building a seating chart for an event at Hollywood Palladium
Hosting a suite night, a group outing, or a private event in the Los Angeles area? A seating chart keeps the group organized before you ever reach the gates. Map your party onto tables that mirror the suite or section layout, assign each guest a spot, and export a PDF so everyone knows where they sit. For a private event in a banquet space near Hollywood Palladium, the same tool lays out rounds, banquet tables, and head tables, then prints a chart the venue's event-services team can work from. Capacity at Hollywood Palladium runs to 3,700 for its main configuration, but most private events use a fraction of that in a club, suite, or adjacent hospitality space — exactly the scale the maker below is built for.
