The Kia Forum Seating Chart

The Kia Forum’s truly impressive interior bowl has been modernized and updated to seat up to 17,500 guests. For smaller events, the bowl can convert to a more intimate setting of 8,000. Whether hosting an office event or a stadium concert, The Kia Forum maintains the class and style of its past, while executing a modern twist to its interior design. Its terrace moves effortlessly, excellent foods and lounges offering something for everyone. Inside, without the interruption of suites, the seating flows seamlessly.

The Kia Forum is known for its versatility. It has a massively flexible seating arrangement for large-scale events and more intimate shows. The bowl-shaped design allows for an uninterrupted view from every seat — providing an excellent experience for all attendees. 

With a full capacity of 17,500 guests and a half capacity of 8,000 for smaller events, the venue can adapt to various show sizes. At full-scale events, there are three major seating sections:

• Upper Bowl, with its seating sections and open box seats 
• Lower Bowl, which includes Senate Seating on either side, closer to the stage
• Floor seating across three-quarters of the floor, facing the stage surrounded by the bowl seating. 

Many guests advise securing rows closer to the front and center of all sections. However, due to its high-end technology and bowl design, there truly is no bad seat at the Kia Forum. The Upper Bowl and further back rows may offer cheaper tickets but still provide an excellent show.

The Kia Forum accessible seating

There are various types of accessible seating available at the Kia Forum, including ADA seating, wheelchair-accessible seating, aisle transfer seating, and semi-ambulatory seating. Up to three companion seats can be purchased in accessible areas.
