How many seats are in Section 211 Row 15 at Madison Square Garden?

There are a total of 22 seats in Section 211, Row 15 for a Rangers game at MSG. As you face the ice, Seat 22 will be on the aisle at the right side of the row (closer to the net where the Rangers shoot twice), while Seat 1 is on the aisle at the left.

Which seats are the best for a couple at an affordable price?

To find affordable tickets, you generally will have to look for seating in the upper sections and further from mid court. You may find that seats in the corners and behind the basket will be cheaper, however we recommend considering other sections first as these locations can have views that are obstructed by the basket. The first few rows in the 200 level near mid court (209-213 and 223-227) are good seats that you can find at a good price. For a visiting Pacers fan, we would also be inclined to recommend section 106 as it is located near the visiting team bench, but being on the 100 level comes with an increase in cost as well. This is the view from Section 225 Row 5 that has a good view of the action and should be more affordable than seats on the lower level.

How is Section 224 for concerts at Madison Square Garden?

In a traditional end stage configuration, Section 224 will be one of the better seating options on the 200 level for a concert at Madison Square Garden. The views will be further and higher up from the second seating tier, but section 224 will have you in a good area to see the front of the performers without being too far away (some sections closer to the stage on the 200 level will have a more extreme side angle view). There are a total of 20 rows in the section, running from row 3 in the front to row 22 in the back, so we recommend looking for seats in the first 5 rows for the best views in the section (Rows 3-7). Section 224 keeps you close to the stage on the second seating tier, without having an extreme side angle view (Photo taken from Section 224 Row 8)

For concerts at MSG, how does Section 104 Row 16 compare to 200 level side sections?

Note: this question and answer assume an end-stage setup with the stage set-up in front of lower level Section 112. The main difference between section 104 and the 200 level side sections is the angle to the stage and your resulting view. From section 104, your seats will point towards stage right, and you will be able to see all the action on the stage with minimal head-turning. The view from Section 104 for an end-stage concert at Madison Square Garden in December 2014 In the 200 level side sections, you are sitting higher up and your seats will naturally be looking directly across the floor at the opposite side of the Garden. For sections farther away from the stage, this will result in having to turn your head to see the stage. For other sections, like 212 and 223, this won't be an issue and you'll have a very good view. Overall, tickets in Section 104 will be better than most of the 200 level, except the front rows of the side sections closest to the stage. The view from Section 212 is among the best on the 200 level

Who Should Sit Here

The 200 Level at Madison Square Garden suits a wide range of fans, from budget-minded ticket buyers up top to those chasing a near-premium view in the front side rows. If you want a strong sightline without lower-bowl pricing, the first six rows of a side section are the sweet spot. Fans who prioritize quick, easy access over a sideline angle will appreciate the compact end sections.

200 Level Seating Details

The 200 Level splits into side sections and end sections. Side sections hold up to 25 rows, with row 1 at the front and the entrance tunnel at row 7. End sections are much smaller — just 3–6 rows each — which keeps them intimate and makes getting to and from your seat simple. Barstool rows (labeled BS) sit at the back of most sections.

Views from the 200 Level

The front rows of the side sections deliver phenomenal, club-like views for both basketball and hockey. Views get more distant as you climb toward the upper rows. End sections trade the prime sideline angle for convenience and intimacy, which many fans prefer over a higher-row sideline seat. Every section has a television monitor set up near the ground at the front, so guests in row 1 can keep an eye on replays and stats.

Good to Know

For hockey, the Rangers shoot twice toward sections 215–220 — worth targeting if you want the action heading your way. Note that Madison Square Garden's row 7 marks the entrance tunnel in side sections, so aim for rows 1–6 when you want the cleanest sightline.
