The best seats at Kia Forum are Lower Bowl sections 113-119, rows 5-15, particularly section 115 rows 5-10. These center-stage seats offer optimal elevation (seeing over heads), perfect sightlines (frontal stage view), and excellent sound quality. They cost $150-250, making them better value than floor seats which are often too close. For premium budgets, floor sections 2-4 rows 10-15 ($300-500) provide intimate proximity while maintaining clear views.

Kia Forum has a capacity of 17,500 seats for concerts and events. This breaks down to: Floor seating (~2,000-3,000), Lower Bowl/100 Level (~5,000), Club Level/200 Level (~2,500), and Upper Bowl/300 Level (~7,000-8,000). Exact capacity varies by event configuration – some shows use full 360° seating, while others close sections behind the stage.

Floor seats are worth it if you prioritize proximity and energy over sightlines. Reserved floor rows 10-15 ($300-400) offer the best floor experience – close to performers but elevated enough to see. General admission floor is excellent for standing/dancing but shorter attendees may struggle with visibility. For the same price, Lower Bowl section 115 rows 5-10 often provides better overall views. Choose floor if you want to be “in the moment” rather than watching the full production.

Avoid these Kia Forum sections: Upper corners (316-320, 328-332) have extreme angles and partially obstructed views. Upper Bowl rows 12-16 are extremely steep and distant. Behind-stage sections (128-132, 101-105) only work for certain stage configurations. Floor back rows (20+) are too far back – you’re better off in Lower Bowl for the same price. Stick to center sections (113-119, 214-216, 301-305) for reliable sightlines.

Upper Bowl seating is good for budget-conscious fans who want full-stage views. Sections 301-305 rows 1-5 ($50-80) offer unobstructed sightlines of the entire production – you see lighting, video screens, and choreography better than lower levels. Sound quality is decent in center sections. However, individual faces are hard to see without binoculars (150-250 feet distance), and the steep incline (35-40°) can be uncomfortable for those with height sensitivity. Best for casual fans or groups.

Club Level (200 sections) is Kia Forum’s premium seating tier with exclusive amenities. Benefits include: wider seats with extra legroom, access to private climate-controlled lounges, upscale food/beverage options, VIP bathrooms with no lines, and cushioned seats with cup holders. Best club sections are 214-216 (center) at $300-400 per ticket. Club Level is 100-150 feet from stage with “director’s view” elevation. Worth the premium for 3+ hour events or those who value comfort over proximity.

Yes, you can see well from Upper Bowl at Kia Forum, especially center sections (301-305, 329-332) in rows 1-8. The elevated angle provides full-stage visibility including lighting rigs and video screens. Individual performer faces require binoculars due to 150-250 foot distance. Avoid upper corners (316-320, 328-332) which have partially blocked views. Front row (row 1) has handrails and no obstructions. The venue’s bowl design ensures no structural columns block sightlines from any section.

The best value seating at Kia Forum is Lower Bowl section 115, rows 5-10, priced at $150-200. These seats offer center-stage positioning, optimal elevation (see over heads), and frontal sightlines comparable to $300-500 floor seats. Alternative value options: any Lower Bowl sections 113-119 rows 9-15 ($180-250), or Upper Bowl front row sections 301-305 rows 1-3 ($50-80) for budget seekers. Avoid overpriced floor back rows and extreme side sections which cost the same but offer inferior views.

Kia Forum seating comfort varies by level. Club Level (200s) seats are most comfortable – 20% wider with 4+ inches extra legroom and cushioning. Floor and Lower Bowl seats are standard arena width (18-20 inches) with basic padding, suitable for 2-3 hour events. Upper Bowl seats are narrower and more cramped due to steeper rows. All sections have cup holders. For maximum comfort on long events (3+ hours), choose Club Level or Lower Bowl aisles seats. Tall guests (6’2″+) should opt for Club Level or aisle seats for legroom.
