Red Rocks Amphitheatre Seating Chart
A natural amphitheater carved into 300-foot red sandstone monoliths in the foothills west of Denver. Red Rocks is widely considered the greatest outdoor concert venue in the world — the acoustics are entirely shaped by the rock formations, and the views of the Denver skyline 15 miles east are unmatched.

Tips before you go
Park early — Red Rocks has limited lots, and the walk from the upper lot is 20 minutes uphill at altitude. Bring layers; mountain weather changes fast. Stay for the visitor center and the Trading Post for the full experience.
How to read the Red Rocks Amphitheatre seating chart
The Red Rocks Amphitheatre chart divides 9,525 seats across a fan of seating that faces one stage across 4 named sections — Rows 1-9, Rows 10-30, Rows 31-69, and Side stage VIP boxes. Which of those names is printed on your ticket decides more than location: two sections apart can mean a different level, a different price bracket, and a different side of the room entirely.
When you weigh a Red Rocks Amphitheatre 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 Side stage VIP boxes and Rows 1-9 can price and view so differently while sitting on the same chart. Use the best-seats notes above as the tiebreak for Red Rocks Amphitheatre, then confirm section, row, and seat against the official Morrison map before checkout.
Some context on size — Red Rocks Amphitheatre's 9,525 capacity places it 7th among the 13 Colorado venues in this guide; Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre (18,000) is the next size up, Broadmoor World Arena (8,000) the next size down.
