Section 103 at Gorge Amphitheatre

- For fans wanting to get close to the stage but worried about not having a physical seat to sit in, the 100 Reserved area is an ideal choice. All seats in section 102 are guaranteed to have a clear view to the entire stage since the section is centered. Section 101 and 103 can create some bad angles to the stage, but still provide close views. The best seats in section 101 are the higher numbered seats (30 and above) while the best seats in section 103 are the lower numbers (seats 1-16).  Reserved seating does lose the scenic views of the lawn, however anyone with a reserved ticket will be able to go to the lawn to take in the sights or head to the "View Bar" located directly west of the stage.  

(2026 Review) - Closest Seats to the Stage: Located at the very front below the lawn    Best Sections: 101–103, with Section 102 offering the most centered views    Flat Layout: Limited elevation can impact views in back rows    Basic Seating: Metal folding chairs — many fans choose to stand    Limited Scenery: Floor level blocks iconic river and canyon views    Pit Option (Select Shows): Can convert to General Admission standing area    Who Should Sit Here  Floor seats are ideal for fans who want to be as close to the stage as possible and prioritize proximity over scenery. This is a great option for those who want a more traditional concert experience focused on the performance rather than the landscape.  Floor Location & Layout  The Floor at The Gorge Amphitheatre is located at the bottom of the venue, directly in front of the stage and below the steep lawn.  This area is divided into Sections 101–103, with Section 102 positioned in the center and Sections 101 and 103 on either side. Because of its location, the Floor provides the closest reserved seating option in the venue.  All seating is set up on a flat concrete surface, which differs significantly from the sloped lawn behind it.  Views from Floor Seats  Views from the Floor are excellent in terms of proximity, but come with a few trade-offs.  Section 102 offers the best overall experience with a centered, head-on view of the stage. In contrast, Sections 101 and 103 can have more angled sightlines, especially toward the outer seats, which may limit visibility of certain stage elements like video screens.  Because the floor is flat, row selection is critical. Fans seated farther back may find it harder to see over those in front, especially if others are standing. For the best sightlines, aim for rows closer to the front of the section.  Seating & Comfort  Seats on the Floor are metal folding chairs, which are more basic compared to other seating options in the venue.  While not the most comfortable for long periods, many fans choose to stand during the performance, especially in high-energy shows. Fans who prefer a more relaxed and cushioned experience may want to consider Box Seats instead.  Scenic Trade-Off  One of the biggest trade-offs with Floor seating is the loss of the iconic Gorge scenery.  Because you are positioned at stage level, much of the Columbia River and canyon backdrop — which is visible from the lawn — is blocked from view. For many fans, this is a key part of the Gorge experience.  However, Floor ticket holders can access the lawn at any time, making it possible to enjoy the scenery before or during the show. A popular strategy is to visit the lawn during opening acts or sunset, then return to your seats for the main performance.  Pit Setup (When Applicable)  For select shows, the Floor may be converted into a General Admission Pit.  In this setup, all seats are removed and replaced with a standing-room-only area. Fans can move freely, and positioning is determined by arrival time. Those who arrive early will have the best chance to secure spots near the front rail or center stage.
