Glen Helen Amphitheater Seating Chart
The Glen Helen Amphitheater (formerly known as the San Manual Amphitheater) can hold up to 65,000 people in total! The venue is an outdoor amphitheater and majority of the seating is on the lawn. There are only 10,900 designated seats. The remaining 54,100 spaces are on the lawn.
Sold out shows at Glen Helen Amphitheater can sit around 65,000 guests across multiple levels. Pre-built reserved seating is available close to the stage across multiple levels. Outdoor seating is designed with comfort with sturdy blue chairs with plenty of leg room for guests. While lawn seating is available on a first come first serve basis. For all events we suggest you get your tickets as early as possible.

Although the Glen Helen Amphitheater is an outdoor venue, this doesn’t mean there isn’t a seating area or “best seats in the house” section.
On the contrary, the venue has ample seating right in front of the stage, a VIP box section if you want to elevate your experience, and a whole lawn area surrounding the stage where you can pop a squat and enjoy the performance. There is also accessible seating which we’ll look at later. Seating and standing areas may differ depending on the event, so look at what’s available when booking your ticket.
Lower reserved seating
The lower reserved seating area includes the seats closest to the stage in the lower bowl. They are assigned and offer great views of the performance. These are typically the most expensive tickets, offering a premium experience.
Upper reserved seating
The upper reserved seats are in the upper bowl above the lower reserved seats. While still providing a clear view of the stage, the upper seats are further back. They are more affordable than lower bowl seats but still offer a comfortable concert experience.
Lawn seating
The lawn seating area is one of the amphitheater’s defining features. Located behind the reserved seating areas, it provides an open space where concertgoers can spread out on the grass, often with a bring-your-own blanket or low-back chairs policy. Lawn tickets are normally the most affordable option, and this area is popular for its laid-back feel and festival-like vibe. It is important to note that chairs of any kind are not permitted in the venue. However, you can rent lawn chairs for $15 per chair at most shows – turning them in at the end of the event. You can pre-book your lawn chairs by clicking on the “Upgrades Available” tab when booking your tickets.
VIP and premium seating
The amphitheater also offers premium seating options, often referred to as VIP or club seating. These areas come with additional rewards such as access to exclusive lounges, better food and drink options, and enhanced seating comfort. These seats can be in the lower bowl or a designated VIP section.
Pit seating (for select events)
For some select events, there is a pit area located directly in front of the stage. This is a general admission area, but it offers a more up-close and personal experience with the performers. Pit tickets are often available as part of special promotions or as a separate ticket tier.
Accessibility
The venue is ADA-compliant, offering accessible seating for individuals with disabilities. These seats are typically located in both the reserved seating sections and on the lawn. If you need an accessible seat, it’s recommended to contact the box office or ticket vendor ahead of time to ensure availability.
Accessible parking
Accessible parking is located outside Gate B’s entrance. To get there, you’ll need to go through Gate 1 and advise staff you will need accessible parking. They will then guide you to the correct lot. You will also need an accessible placard as law enforcement check the registration of all ADA cards.
Interpreter requests
You will need to give the Glen Helen Amphitheater at least two weeks’ notice to secure an interpreter. When you have collected the tickets, staff will introduce you to an interpreter for the event and take you to your designated seats. There is no charge for this service, but you will need to contact the venue prior to the event.
Special requests
We all know that unexpected illness and injury can’t be predicted, which is why if you have an illness or injury that means you can’t use the original seat you have booked, we strongly recommend you exchange your ticket for an accessible seating option – you can do this via livenation.com. If you do this on the day, then a change of seat cannot be guaranteed.
Accessibility at the venue
The team at the Glen Helen Amphitheater are there to help, so do let them know if you need any assistance by visiting the Guest Service Booth at Plaza A. Concession and merchandise stands are all accessible, as well as bathrooms.
Service animals
All service animals are permitted at the venue during events. You can visit ada.gov for further information.
