Frequently Asked Questions

What to know before picking your seats.

What are the best seats at Lee & Penny Anderson Arena?

If you’ve never been, don’t overthink it — center sections usually win. Lower bowl for games feels great, but for concerts a little higher up can actually look better. Too close isn’t always better here.

Are floor seats worth it for concerts?

Sometimes yes, sometimes not. If you’re right near the stage, it’s awesome. If you’re a bit back, you might just be staring at people’s heads the whole time. That’s why a lot of people skip floor and go one level up.

Where should I sit for a good view without overspending?

Middle sections, a few rows up. That’s usually the sweet spot. You’re not paying top prices, but you still see everything clearly without weird angles.

What are the cheapest seats like?

Upper level, usually. They’re higher, obviously, but most arenas are built so you can still follow the action. Totally fine if you just want to be there and not spend a ton.

Any seats I should avoid?

Yeah — sharp side angles, anything behind the stage, or “limited view” sections. Those can be hit or miss, and sometimes just not worth the discount.

Do seats feel different depending on the event?

100%. A basketball game, concert, and comedy show all hit different. Same seat can feel great one night and just okay the next depending on setup.
