Understanding the seating layout at Madison Square Garden helps you choose tickets that match your budget and viewing preferences. This guide explains the main seating areas for concerts, what to expect from each section, and how different configurations can affect your experience.

Seating Overview and Capacity

The arena’s capacity changes depending on the event. Basketball games typically hold up to 19,812 spectators, while hockey games accommodate about 18,006 due to the ice rink. Concert capacities can reach 20,789 for end-stage shows, though exact numbers vary based on stage placement and floor seating.

The multi-level bowl design creates an intimate feel despite the arena’s size. Its circular layout keeps most seats close to the action, though viewing angles and proximity differ by section.

Floor Seating

Floor seats offer the closest view of the performers and an immersive experience. Because the floor layout changes for each concert, from end-stage to center-stage configurations, ticket buyers should check the specific arrangement for their show.

• End-stage setups: Forward-facing rows toward the stage.

• Center-stage setups: Standing or assigned seating surrounding the stage.

Floor seats provide premium access, but some views may be partially blocked by stage equipment or production elements.

100-Level Sections (Lower Bowl)

The 100-level sections are directly above the floor and provide excellent sightlines with standard arena seating features, including backs and armrests. The lower rows are closest to the action, while the higher rows offer slightly elevated views for better overall visibility. These sections also provide easy access to concessions, restrooms, and other amenities, balancing proximity and comfort.

200-Level Sections (Bridge Level)

The 200-level sections sit between the lower and upper bowls, offering a mid-range option in both price and perspective. Some sections extend into the lower bowl, providing a unique angle. Many premium club seats are located here, with added perks such as lounge access and in-seat food and beverage service.

300-Level Sections (Upper Bowl)

The 300-level sections form the upper tier. While farther from the floor, these seats still provide a full view of the stage or event. The upper bowl offers budget-friendly options while keeping a strong perspective of the arena. Even at a distance, the energy and atmosphere remain vibrant, making these seats popular with families and cost-conscious attendees.

Premium Seating Options

Madison Square Garden also offers luxury suites and club-level seating for those seeking a more upscale experience. Suites accommodate groups of 12 to 50 guests and feature private restrooms, HDTVs, climate control, and catering. Club seats offer wider seating, extra legroom, lounge access, and in-seat food and beverage service, providing added comfort and convenience.

Accessible Seating

Accessible seating is available on all levels. Companion seats are placed next to accessible areas so groups can sit together. The arena provides elevators, ramps, and accessible restrooms, along with assistive listening devices for guests with hearing impairments, ensuring a comfortable experience for everyone.
