Lower bowl seats: the first ring on resale
Lower bowl seats are the first ring of seats around the floor or field, usually numbered in the 100s. At the 79 upcoming events in our sample with a lower Level, it held 37% of the resale tickets listed.
What is lower bowl seating?
Venues call it the Lower Level, the 100 Level, the Plaza or the Main Level. It starts at the edge of the floor and rises to the first concourse. Courtside and rinkside rows are part of it, and some venues sell them as a Level of their own.
How much of the supply sits in the lower bowl
The lower bowl share ran highest at John Summit, Nov 15 (82%), Los Tigres del Norte, Nov 13 (81%) and Il Volo, Nov 11 (80%). It ran lowest at New England Patriots at Los Angeles Chargers (Sunday Night Football) (15%) and Tennessee Titans at Dallas Cowboys (16%), where the upper Levels carry most of what sellers list.
Are lower bowl tickets good?
For most games they are the best view in the house: close enough to see faces, high enough to see the whole floor.

Questions
- Is it better to sit higher or lower at a concert?
- Lower puts you closer to the performers. Higher shows the whole stage and the lights. The first rows of the lower bowl give you a bit of both.
- Are lower bowl tickets good?
- Yes, for most games: close to the action and raised enough to see the whole floor or field.
