Section 16 at Barclays Center

(2026 Review) - On the Hardwood: Sideline floor seats in Sections 7, 9, 23, 24, and 25 (Rows AA–BB) and baseline seats in Sections 1, 31, 16, and 17 (Row AA).  Crown Club Access: Every Floor Seat ticket includes entry to the Crown Club, one of the arena's most exclusive premium lounges.  Included Food & Non-Alcoholic Drinks (Nets Games): A world-class food menu and non-alcoholic beverages are included with your ticket.  Closest to the Benches: Sections 7 and 9 sit nearest the player benches.  Good to Know: Alcoholic beverages are available for purchase and are not included.  Who Should Sit Here  Courtside Seats at Barclays Center are for fans who want to be as close to the game as physically possible — on the hardwood, beside the players, with a view that no other seat in the building can match. They suit big spenders, VIPs, and anyone marking a special occasion who wants both an unbeatable vantage point and premium lounge access to go with it.  Courtside Seating Details  These seats ring the court itself. Sideline floor seats run through Sections 7, 9, 23, 24, and 25 in Rows AA–BB, placing you directly on the hardwood. Baseline floor seats in Sections 1, 31, 16, and 17 (Row AA) sit directly behind the baskets. Sections 7 and 9 offer the closest floor seats to the player benches, with the Nets bench nearest Section 7 and the visitors' bench nearest Section 9.  Views from the Courtside Seats  Floor seats put you as close to the action as possible, with an up-close perspective of Nets players, visiting stars, and everything happening on the court. These are some of the most exclusive seats in the building and deliver a distinctly intimate game-day experience.  What's Included  Crown Club: An elegant lounge with upscale bars, comfortable lounge areas, and a sophisticated, high-end social atmosphere.  Food & Beverage: A world-class food menu and non-alcoholic beverages are included; alcoholic beverages are available for purchase throughout the game.  Floor Alternative  For a similar premium experience directly behind the Floor Seats, consider VIP Seats. Located immediately behind the floor, these seats offer a comparable all-inclusive game-day experience while typically providing a more affordable option than sitting directly on the hardwood. 

- You can find better views elsewhere on the lower seating tier, but seats behind the baskets are usually the most affordable for sitting close to the action. It will be difficult to prevent the basket impeding some of the view in these sections, and your best option is to avoid the seats directly behind the basket which are the lower numbered seats in Section 1, the higher numbered seats in Section 31, and seats 7-12 in Section 16. Entry tunnels are located at the top of the sections, providing the easiest concourse and seat access for the fans sitting in Row 15 and higher. Handicap accessible seating can be found at the back of Sections 16 and 31. 

(2026 Review) - Behind the Floor Seats: VIP Seats sit immediately behind the Floor Seats, among the closest vantage points at Barclays Center without being on the hardwood.  Sideline & Baseline: Sideline spots in Sections 7, 8, 23, 24, and 25, plus baseline seats in Sections 16 and 17.  Event Level Club Access: Entry to the exclusive event-level club comes with every VIP ticket.  All-Inclusive Food & Non-Alcoholic Beverages (Event Level Club): The club's food and non-alcoholic drink selection is included with your ticket.  Good to Know: The Event Level Club's food selection is a step below the Crown Club offered with Courtside tickets.  Who Should Sit Here  These seats are for fans who want to be right on top of the action at Barclays Center while enjoying premium club perks. VIP Seats keep you exceptionally close to the court from a slightly elevated perspective, making them a strong pick for anyone who wants a near-courtside experience with all-inclusive club access.  VIP Seats Location & Details  VIP Seats are positioned directly behind the Floor Seats on the event level. The sideline seats span Sections 24 and 25 (Rows CC–DD and 1–2), Section 23 (Rows CC–DD), Section 8 (Rows 1–2), and Section 7 (Rows A–B and 1–2). Baseline seats are located in Sections 16 and 17 (Row BB). The slightly elevated placement keeps you close to the floor while giving a cleaner line on the full court.  Views from the VIP Seats  Expect some of the closest views in the building short of sitting on the hardwood. You'll be near enough to see the players and the action up close, with a slightly elevated vantage point compared to the Floor Seats that helps you take in more of the court.  What's Included  Event Level Club: Access to this exclusive premium space on the event level.  All-Inclusive Food & Non-Alcoholic Beverages: Enjoy the club's food and non-alcoholic drink selection throughout the game, included with your ticket.  VIP vs. Courtside  The main difference between VIP and Courtside is the club that comes with each ticket: Courtside holders get the Crown Club, while VIP holders get the Event Level Club. Both clubs include all-inclusive food and non-alcoholic beverages, but the Crown Club's food selection is considered a significant upgrade. If you want to stay extremely close to the court while saving compared to Courtside, VIP Seats deliver a similar premium game-day experience with a different club offering.
