Standing room only tickets: what SRO means

A standing room only (SRO) ticket gets you into the venue with no seat: you stand in a set area, often a drink rail or a deck behind the last row. At the 11 upcoming events in our sample with standing room listings, sellers listed 836 SRO tickets in 219 listings.

What does standing room only mean?

The phrase began in theaters, for nights when every seat was gone and the house let people stand at the back. Stadiums and arenas now sell standing areas on purpose: party decks, drink rails and concourse spots with a view.

SRO tips

Get there early: the best rail spots go first. Check the venue map for where your standing area is, since some are far from the field.
