The Kia Forum Seating Chart
The Kia Forum’s truly impressive interior bowl has been modernized and updated to seat up to 17,500 guests. For smaller events, the bowl can convert to a more intimate setting of 8,000. Whether hosting an office event or a stadium concert, The Kia Forum maintains the class and style of its past, while executing a modern twist to its interior design. Its terrace moves effortlessly, excellent foods and lounges offering something for everyone. Inside, without the interruption of suites, the seating flows seamlessly.
The Kia Forum is known for its versatility. It has a massively flexible seating arrangement for large-scale events and more intimate shows. The bowl-shaped design allows for an uninterrupted view from every seat — providing an excellent experience for all attendees.
The Kia Forum has several seating options. For the biggest and best shows, it’s a 17,500-capacity venue. For smaller events, it converts to an 8,000-seat layout. Either layout can provide seating or standing space across the floor section. The following sections will help you select your perfect spot.
Floor Seating
Want to get as close as possible to the stage? Then the floor section is the best way. At most music shows, the floor seating section will be opened up into a completely general admission layout. You’ll simply buy a ticket, then turn up and choose your vantage point.Otherwise, most other shows see rows of reserved seats go on sale. In this case, you can pick your exact spot ahead of time. Generally, this section is the best experience and – therefore – the most expensive ticket. Expect to pay $100 and up – more for the most in-demand sections and shows.
Lower Bowl
Looking for guaranteed seats and fantastic views away from the floor? The lower bowl is for you. At smaller shows, this may be the only area opened up. At full-capacity shows, it’s the lower half of the entire bowl structure. Tickets in this section vary in price – closer to the stage can command in excess of $100-150, with back sections offering a good balance of views and budget.
Upper Bowl
The upper bowl – if it’s open for your show – is another great way to bag a bargain. For the cheapest seats (but still a great show), you can often find higher rows available from $50-60. Otherwise, the front rows and sections closest to the stage can mirror the lower bowl in price and quality.
Many guests advise securing rows closer to the front and center of all sections. However, due to its high-end technology and bowl design, there truly is no bad seat at the Kia Forum. The Upper Bowl and further back rows may offer cheaper tickets but still provide an excellent show.
The Kia Forum accessible seating
