Box seats and suites: how many reach resale

A box seat is a seat in a small, walled-off section, and a suite is a private room with its own seats facing the field or stage. Both are scarce on resale: at the 18 upcoming events we counted that had suite or box listings, they held 1% of the resale tickets listed, 615 tickets in 138 listings.

What are box seats?

In older ballparks and theaters, a box is a small group of seats behind a low wall, often along the first rows. Arenas use the word for premium clusters of seats: Xfinity Mobile Arena lists its Club Box seats as a Level of their own.

What you get in a suite

A suite is a private room for a group, with fixed seats out front, a lounge behind them and catering that the team or venue arranges. Many suites go to companies on season-long leases, which helps explain why so few reach resale. When one does, the listing can be the whole room or a block of its seats.

How many suite tickets get listed

The share stays small even where suites exist. The highest we counted: The Neighbourhood at 10%, Denver Nuggets at Philadelphia 76ers at 7% and Indiana Pacers at Philadelphia 76ers at 4%. The venues in our sample name these Levels Suite, Loge Box, Club Box, Suites, Field Suites, Ring Of Honor Suites, Hall Of Fame Suites and Silver Suites, and we group all of them here.
