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
The Hollywood Palladium chart lists 4 main sections, and the one on your ticket does most of the deciding — price, distance, and view included. Scan the list before you buy, keeping in mind that the event type reshuffles the room: concerts, games, and private buyouts each open different parts of the house.
- 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
Start with the shape of the room: 3,700 seats on stacked levels facing the stage, split into 4 sections — General admission floor, Balcony, VIP mezzanine, and Pit. Your ticket names exactly one of them, and that name is worth reading twice, because neighboring sections can differ by a full level, a price tier, or which side of the room you face from.
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're on. Two sections apart — say Pit and General admission floor — 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 Hollywood Palladium. Match your ticket to the official Hollywood Palladium map — section, row, and seat — before you buy.
Some context on size — Hollywood Palladium's 3,700 capacity places it 38th among the 53 California venues in this guide; Rady Shell at Jacobs Park (3,700) is the next size up, The Masonic (3,300) the next size down.
