Best seats at Lakewood Amphitheatre
We found no official best-seat guide or note on which sections sit under the roof. On Live Nation's floor plans, the front three sections, 101 to 103, are reserved seats. Some layouts add a pit in front of them, and the largest pit setup replaces them. Box seats ring the front sections, and sections 201 to 207 sit behind. Lawn tickets carry a row and seat number for tracking only, since the lawn is always first come, first served.
Tips before you go
Outside lawn chairs aren't allowed, but you can rent one for most shows, so check your event page, and blankets up to 4 by 8 feet are fine. Bags must be clear and no bigger than 12 by 6 by 12 inches, or a 6 by 9 inch clutch. General parking starts at $20 online in advance, or $25 on the day when sold, tailgating is allowed in Lot E, and the venue is cashless. Shows go on rain or shine unless the weather turns severe.
How to read the Lakewood Amphitheatre seating chart
Sections in the 100s are the front three, 101 to 103, and the 200s, 201 to 207, are behind them. Some shows add a pit in front of the 100s or replace them with one, so check which layout your show uses.
Box seats are numbered from 1 to 46, and box packages include in-seat wait service. The two-story VIP Club has air-conditioned rooms and a covered outdoor area, the Party Deck is a raised open-air deck, and the Lawn Deck has umbrellas for shade.
Neither entrance has steps, and accessible parking is in Lot B and Lot C. A wheelchair ramp leads onto the lawn, and assisted listening devices need two weeks' notice.
