Rose Bowl Stadium Seating Chart
The Rose Bowl Stadium seating chart boasts one of the more simplistic venue maps. Permanent, reserved seating sections completely encircle the field, though for Rose Bowl concerts, about 10 sections from the bowl are usually excluded, with floor seating on the field making up the rest. The stage is typically set up directly in front of Sections 24-28.
Rose Bowl Concert Seating Views - Floor
Rose Bowl Stadium floor seating may either be reserved or general admission, and typically begins with sections directly in front of the stage extending all the way back to permanent Sections 11-12.
Rose Bowl Concert Seating Views - Approx. Sections 3-8
For most stage configurations, side sections of Rose Bowl Stadium will offer great views of the performance and accompanying TV screens. Just note that anything located even with the stage or behind it may have some limited or obstructed views, which will be noted within the ticket listing.
Rose Bowl Concert Seating Views - Approx. Sections 9-14
Rose Bowl Stadium Sections 9-14 offer some of the most straight on views during concerts, though because of the oval shape of the bowl, they also are furthest from the stage.
Rose Bowl Concert Seating Views - Approx. Sections 15-20
Similar to that of its counterparts on the opposite side of the stadium, Rose Bowl Sections 15-20 mostly offer side views of the stage, but also some of the closest if you don't want to be on the floor.
