UBS Arena Seating Chart

Sections at UBS Arena

UBS Arena'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.

• Lower bowl 100s — full ring around the ice
• Club and loge level 200s — premium mid-tier
• Upper bowl 300s — steep second deck
• 1972 Club and other premium clubs
• Suites

Best seats at UBS Arena

Lower bowl sections 113-116 behind the goal the Islanders shoot at twice give the best scoring views. The upper bowl is steep and close, so 300-level center sections beat lower-bowl corners for value.

Tips before you go

The LIRR runs dedicated Elmont-UBS Arena trains from Penn Station and Jamaica on event nights — far smoother than driving the Cross Island. If you do drive, prepay parking, since on-site rates and exit lines are steep.

How to read the UBS Arena seating chart

UBS Arena seats 17,255 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 UBS Arena 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 UBS Arena 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 UBS Arena

Hosting a suite night, a group outing, or a private event in the Elmont 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 UBS Arena, 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 UBS Arena runs to 17,255 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.
