The Forum Seating Chart

Sections at The Forum

The Forum's seating bowl is organized into the following main sections. Section layout differs by event — a sports configuration and a concert configuration of the same arena are not the same chart.

• Floor — concert GA or reserved floor
• Lower Level 100s — full lower ring
• Loge Level — premium middle ring
• Upper Level 200-300s

Best seats at The Forum

Floor center for the canonical concert experience. Section 109-110 in the lower bowl is the seated-with-best-view alternative. Loge level offers a premium sightline halfway up.

Tips before you go

Parking is paid lots only; pre-buy or rideshare. The Forum's circular acoustics work well from every seat — the upper levels are not a bad choice for tours that sound-engineer the venue specifically.

How to read the The Forum seating chart

The Forum seats 17,500 in a bowl that wraps a central court, rink, or stage, so reading the chart starts at center and works outward. The lower bowl rings the floor closest to the action; a club or suite level sits in the middle; the upper bowl climbs above for the widest view. Lower-number sections sit nearest the action, and whether you are along a sideline or behind a baseline changes the view as much as the level does.

Three things decide an The Forum seat: how close you are to the floor, whether you face the action square on or from a baseline, and how high you sit. For an arena this size, the value sweet spot is usually the first few rows of the upper tier at center — close enough to read the play, cheap enough to justify, and high enough for the full picture. For a concert the stage usually sits at one end, so cross-check the official The Forum map against your ticket before you buy: a seat that's perfect for a game can sit behind the stage for a show.

Building a seating chart for an event at The Forum

Hosting a suite night, a group outing, or a private event in the Inglewood area? A seating chart keeps the group organized before you ever reach the gates. Map your party onto tables that mirror the suite or section layout, assign each guest a spot, and export a PDF so everyone knows where they sit. For a private event in a banquet space near The Forum, the same tool lays out rounds, banquet tables, and head tables, then prints a chart the venue's event-services team can work from. Capacity at The Forum runs to 17,500 for its main configuration, but most private events use a fraction of that in a club, suite, or adjacent hospitality space — exactly the scale the maker below is built for.
