A Garden State Parkway amphitheater in Holmdel, central New Jersey's main summer shed. The covered pavilion faces a wide grass lawn that climbs a tree-lined hillside, drawing big rock, pop, and country tours all summer long just off Exit 116.
Sections at PNC Bank Arts Center
Here are the 5 main sections on the PNC Bank Arts Center 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.
- Pit — premium rows nearest the stage
- Reserved 100s — covered pavilion, front seated rows
- Reserved 200s — middle pavilion under the roof
- Reserved 300s — back of the covered pavilion
- Lawn — general-admission grass hillside
Best seats at PNC Bank Arts Center
Covered pavilion sections 101 and 102 dead center keep you dry with a clean stage view. The front-center lawn just behind the pavilion is the value play — near-reserved sightlines and the best of the open-air feel.
Tips before you go
Tailgating in the lots is a tradition here, so arriving early is part of the night. The Parkway backs up badly after headliners; the lawn-side lots empty quicker than the pavilion lots when everyone leaves at once.
How to read the PNC Bank Arts Center seating chart
PNC Bank Arts Center seats 17,500 across a fan of seating that faces one stage, and its chart is organized into 5 named sections — Pit, Reserved 100s, Reserved 200s, Reserved 300s, and Lawn. The exact label on your ticket is what pins your spot: a seat two sections over can sit a level higher, a price tier apart, or on the opposite side of the room.
When you weigh a PNC Bank Arts Center ticket, three variables do the work: how far back you are, whether you're covered or out on the open lawn, and how centered you are on the stage. That's why Lawn and Pit can price and view so differently while sitting on the same chart. Use the best-seats notes above as the tiebreak for PNC Bank Arts Center, then confirm section, row, and seat against the official Holmdel map before checkout.
