The Forum Seating Chart

The legendary Inglewood arena, originally home of the Lakers and Kings from 1967-1999. Renovated as a concert-only venue in 2014, The Forum hosts major tours and award shows. The circular bowl design produces some of the best acoustics in any large arena.

Sections at The Forum

The Forum breaks down into these 4 main sections. The one printed on your ticket sets your price, your distance, and your view, so read it against this list before you buy — and note the layout can shift between a game, a concert, and a private buyout.

  • 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

Start with the shape of the room: 17,500 seats in a bowl that wraps a central court, rink, or stage, split into 4 sections — Floor, Lower Level 100s, Loge Level, and Upper Level 200-300s. 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 The Forum 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 Upper Level 200-300s and Floor can price and view so differently while sitting on the same chart. Use the best-seats notes above as the tiebreak for The Forum, then confirm section, row, and seat against the official Inglewood map before checkout.

Sizewise, The Forum holds 17,500, which puts it 22nd of 53 California venues in this guide: Hollywood Bowl (17,500) is the next size up, Honda Center (17,174) the next size down.

Building a seating chart for an event at The Forum

Booked a suite, a club space, or a room adjacent to The Forum for something private? Let the chart above anchor the plan — sections like Floor and Upper Level 200-300s and their surrounding tiers show the geography — and lay tables over just the part of it your event occupies. Seat every guest in the maker, export the PDF, and the Inglewood event-services team has a document they can set up from. Full house at The Forum is 17,500, but private events run on a far smaller footprint: dinner rounds, program rows, and a head table are usually the whole build.
