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
Red Rocks Amphitheatre holds 9,525 across a fan of seating that all faces one stage, so reading the chart comes down to a single axis: distance from the stage. Reserved pavilion or orchestra sections sit closest and are usually covered; numbered rows climb back under the roof, and beyond them the general-admission lawn rises on open grass. The lower the section number, the closer to the stage — and the side you sit on decides whether you face the performers straight on or at an angle.
Three things decide an Red Rocks Amphitheatre seat: how far back you are, whether you are covered or out on the open lawn, and how centered you are on the stage. For an amphitheater this size, the value sweet spot is usually the last few covered rows at center or the front of the lawn — close enough to see the stage, cheap enough to justify, and shielded from sun or a passing shower. Lawn seating is first-come within its area, so arrive early, and cross-check the official Red Rocks Amphitheatre map before you buy.
