Pauley Pavilion Seating Chart

Sections at Pauley Pavilion

Here are the 5 main sections on the Pauley Pavilion chart. Ticket price, distance, and sightline all follow from which one you're in, so find yours on this list before you commit — and remember configurations move: a concert, a game, and a private buyout each use the room differently.

• Lower bowl 100s — full ring closest to the floor
• Student section — the Den behind a baseline
• Club level — center sideline premium
• Upper bowl 200s — second deck
• Suites — perimeter premium boxes

Best seats at Pauley Pavilion

Center-court lower-bowl sideline seats around midcourt are the marquee tickets with a clean read of both ends. The lower rows near the student Den are the loudest spot for a ranked Pac-12 or nonconference visitor.

Tips before you go

The arena sits in the middle of the UCLA campus, so parking structures a walk away are easier than the closest lots on game nights. Westwood traffic snarls after big games; leaving via the campus edges beats the central exits.

How to read the Pauley Pavilion seating chart

Start with the shape of the room: 13,800 seats in a bowl that wraps a central court, rink, or stage, split into 5 sections — Lower bowl 100s, Student section, Club level, Upper bowl 200s, and Suites. 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.

When you weigh a Pauley Pavilion ticket, three variables do the work: how close you are to the floor, whether you face the action square on or from a baseline, and how high you sit. That's why Suites and Lower bowl 100s can price and view so differently while sitting on the same chart. Use the best-seats notes above as the tiebreak for Pauley Pavilion, then confirm section, row, and seat against the official Los Angeles map before checkout.

Sizewise, Pauley Pavilion holds 13,800, which puts it 26th of 53 California venues in this guide: Sutter Health Park (14,000) is the next size up, Toyota Pavilion at Concord (12,500) the next size down.
