The most common seating layout at Heritage Bank Center for concerts is an end-stage setup with the stage located near sections Section 117, Section 118 and Section 119. For many concerts there are also slight variations to the layout, which may include General Admission seats, fan pits and B-stages.
On the Floor: Sections Floor 1, Floor 2, Floor 3 and Floor 4 are Floor Seats, which offer some of the closest views of the performers. For many concerts, floor sections are added or removed. These performer-specific adjustments may alter the floor layout and the views from each floor section.
To the Side of the Stage: For close views of the stage with a little bit of elevation, consider seats to the side of the stage in Section 112, Section 114 and Section 126. The view is not head-on like on the floor, but many of the seats are closer to the stage, provide better elevation and are actual stadium seats.
Section 102 offers a comfortable head-on view for end-stage shows
Head-on to the Stage: Seats directly across from the stage, like those in Section 101, Section 102, Section 139 and Section 140 provide the most comfortable looks of the performance.
Even upper level sections offer unobstructed sitelines. Just keep in mind that you won't be able to see as much detail from these seats as you would if you sat closer to the stage.
Consider the Following When Buying Concert Tickets
Seats behind the stage are occassionally sold: Unless your main objective is to just get in the building, you'll want to completely avoid anything behind the stage - like those in/near or above sections Section 117, Section 118, Section 119 and Section 120. It's unlikely the performer will turn around to salute you - and you're more likely to be completely blocked out from seeing the show.
If you're on the shorter side (or bringing kids), consider floor seats only in the first few rows: The most common complaint amongst floor ticketholders is that they can't see the stage because of taller people in front of them. As an alternative, consider side sections near the stage that will still have you close and high enough to see.
Lower level side sections are not created equal: While the side sections closest to the stage are top-notch, side sections farther from the stage may leave you with a cramp in your neck. Sections 107 and 135 are not well-angled towards the stage - leaving you to turn your head for an ideal view. Instead, consider head-on sections in the lower level or even close side seats in the upper level like 213 and 229.
100 Level Seating
The 100 level at Heritage Bank Center is a great option when looking for concert tickets. The elevation between rows gives fans clear views of the stage. Combine that with the distance of the lower level and it is a recipe for a great experience.
While most floor seats are closer to the stage, many fans prefer the 100-level for the following reasons:
Lower-priced
Comfortable viewing distance
Elevation above the row(s) in front
Best Seats on the 100 Level
Located at the top of the sections in the middle of the arena are Premium seats with extra space. The seats are upgraded due to their desired location for most events.
Choosing tickets in the lower rows are also a great option. For end-stage shows, tickets in rows A-E in sections near the stage (112, 114, 126, 128) are ideal places to sit.

200 Level Seating
Located above the walkway are sections 201-240 - also known as the 200 level. Many fans will look at tickets in these sections due to their lower price tag. Since they are the furthest away from the stage, they are often the least expensive.
Best Seats in the 200 Level
When looking for tickets, it is always important to understand the angle of the view of the stage. At Heritage Bank Center, the perfect angle is in sections 211, 212, 230, and 231. Sitting here will give you a good sightline without sacrificing distance.
