Bags larger than 14 by 14 by 6 inches and backpacks of any size aren't allowed, and some tours set stricter bag rules. There is no re-entry except in special cases approved at the gate. From BART's Coliseum station, cross the pedestrian bridge to the Coliseum, then walk down the ramp and around the stadium to the arena. Parking serves both the arena and the Coliseum and costs $40 for a car. The stadium next door has its own seating chart, so check which venue your ticket is for.
How to read the Oakland Arena seating chart
The first digit tells you the bowl: 101 to 128 is the lower bowl and 201 to 232 the upper bowl. Floor sections are lettered A to F when the floor has seats.
Suites hold 12 to 24 guests, and the City National Bank Lounge Boxes, which hold 4 to 8, are on the south side of the Mezzanine Suite Level.
The arena has three ADA-accessible elevators, one on the west side near section 114 and two on the east side near section 101. Check the event's own map, since the floor and stage position change from show to show.
