How the Crypto.com Arena seat map reads
On the Crypto.com Arena seating chart, the best balance of view and price is a sideline seat in the Premier ring or the middle rows of the sideline 100s, and the best value is the front rows of a sideline 300-level section. The arena's own guide lists six levels, and the seat map follows them from the floor up:
- Event level: courtside seats for basketball, and floor seating or general admission for concerts.
- Main concourse (100 and 200 level tickets): the lower bowl, sections 101–119, plus a mid-level ring made up of Premier sections 1–18 along the sides and 200 sections at the ends. Two seating guides agree on the 101–119 and Premier 1–18 numbering.
- Suite Levels A, B and C: three stacked rings of suites, about 160 in all.
- Upper concourse (300 level): the upper bowl, sections 301–334, per two seating guides.
The suite stack is the detail that matters most. Three full levels of suites sit between the Premier ring and the 300 level, so the upper bowl begins higher than it does in arenas with a single suite ring.
Courtside and the 100 level
The lower bowl rings the floor in sections 101–119. Courtside seats sit in front of it for basketball, and listings tag them separately from the section behind.
- Sideline sections: the most sought-after lower-bowl seats. Middle rows clear the benches and the scorer's table and still feel close to the game.
- Corner sections: a diagonal view of both baskets, usually priced well below center court.
- Baseline sections: close to one end, but the backboard and stanchion sit in the line of sight from low rows, and the far end of the floor loses depth.
Some lower-bowl sections have premium rows in front of row 1, so the row number on a listing is not always a count from the floor. If the listing shows a lettered row, check the map to see where it sits. Seating guides also disagree on which side holds the Lakers and Kings benches, so do not pay extra for a bench side unless your listing's map marks it.
The Premier ring and the 200 sections
The Premier sections (numbered 1–18) run along both sidelines on the main concourse, above the lower bowl. Premier tickets include club access and in-seat amenities, and the height gives a broadcast-style view: high enough to see the whole floor and the center-hung board, low enough that players still look life-sized.
The 200 sections fill the same ring at the ends of the arena. They carry no club amenities, so they cost less than Premier seats at the same height, but the view is from behind the baskets or goals.
- Premier at center court: the most balanced seat in the building, and a strong hockey seat because the height shows passing lanes.
- 200 sections: a reasonable hockey buy, where rushes come straight at you; weaker for basketball, where the far basket feels distant.
The 300 level above the suites
The upper bowl, sections 301–334, sits above the three suite levels and is reached from the upper concourse. It holds the arena's lowest-priced seats.
- Front rows, sidelines: the value pick. You see the full floor and the video board without the distance of the back rows.
- Corners: a fair diagonal view in the lower rows; the top rows feel distant.
- Back rows behind the baskets or goals: the ones to skip if your budget allows a step down toward the front.
Fan reviews of the upper level mention obstructed views for some center-stage and in-the-round concert layouts, so check the stage overlay for your event before buying a high 300-level seat for a concert. Aisle seats are worth asking for here, because the rows are long and the climb is steep.
Basketball versus hockey layouts
The arena seats 19,079 for basketball. Hockey capacity is listed at 18,145 in some references and 18,118 in the arena's own guide; either way, the rink uses more floor space, so courtside seats disappear and the front rows of the lower bowl sit behind the dasher boards and glass.
Lakers and Sparks
Courtside and the sideline 100s carry the premium. Premier sideline seats are the alternative for fans who want to see plays develop rather than feel the floor. In the 300 level, sideline beats corner and corner beats baseline.
Kings
Hockey rewards height. Low rows behind the glass deliver speed and sound but distort the view along the far boards; the middle and upper rows of the lower bowl and the Premier ring show the whole sheet. Seating guides disagree on which end the Kings attack twice, so treat a shoot-twice claim as unconfirmed unless your listing's map shows it.
End-stage and center-stage concerts
Most arena tours use an end stage. The sections behind it close or sell as limited view, the floor fills with numbered floor sections, and the sideline sections nearest the stage become the most valuable bowl seats.
- Floor: flat. The first rows are the best seats in the house; past them, anyone shorter than average watches over heads.
- Lower-bowl sides near the stage: raised, close and usually clear. The seats closest to the stage end can view it at a sharp angle.
- Premier and 200 sections facing the stage: distant but straight on, which suits large video and lighting productions.
For center-stage or in-the-round shows, every side becomes a front, and the lower bowl gains value all the way around. Stage layouts change by tour, so the stage overlay on your listing is the guide to trust. Every GoodSeats order is backed by a 100% guarantee.

Frequently asked questions
What are the best seats at Crypto.com Arena?
For the view, sideline seats in the 100 level or the Premier ring (sections 1–18). For value, the front rows of a sideline section in the 300 level, which runs from 301 to 334.
What are Premier seats at Crypto.com Arena?
Premier sections 1–18 sit along the sidelines on the main concourse above the lower bowl. Tickets include club access and in-seat amenities, and the raised angle suits both basketball and hockey.
How many rows are in each section at Crypto.com Arena?
Row counts vary, and premium rows sit in front of row 1 in some lower-bowl sections. Check the map on your listing for where a given row sits.
Why do the 300-level seats feel so high?
Three full suite levels, A, B and C, sit between the main-concourse seats and the 300 level. The upper bowl therefore starts higher than in arenas with one suite ring, so its front rows are the ones to target.
Are there obstructed-view seats at Crypto.com Arena?
Low hockey rows sit behind the glass, low baseline rows look through the backboard, and concert sections beside or behind the stage are often limited view. Fan reviews also note some high 300-level seats lose parts of center-stage shows.
Where is accessible seating at Crypto.com Arena?
On all levels, according to the arena, with up to three companion seats per accessible seat. Elevators serve all public areas, and Guest Services handles day-of relocations.
