Features & Amenities
Most fans will agree that floor seats are the best seats for seeing a concert at Madison Square Garden. Given their proximity to the stage, tickets in these seats often command top-dollar.
Floor Plan for Concerts
For a typical end-stage concert, there are six sections labeled A-F on the floor at MSG. There are 26 rows of seating in sections A-C and 15 rows in sections D-F.
Seat 1 will be located on the left side when facing the stage for all floor sections. Seat numbers will increase as you move toward the right of the section and there are typically about 16-18 seats per row.
General Admission Floor
Not all performances will feature a traditional layout. It is not uncommon to find the floor of MSG configured with a full GA Floor.
Among the more popular GA Floor setups include a divided East and West general admission floor, full single section GA Floor, and a partial GA Floor with reserved seating located in front of sections 1-3.
All general admission tickets will not have a reserved seat. Tickets will grant access to an area on the floor and the closest views are first come, first serve.
How Much are Floor Seats at Madison Square Garden?

Floor seats in section F Row 12 (Aisle seats #15 and 16)
It was great having "aisle seats" and on the Floor of Madison Square Garden. The seats were also convenient if and when we needed to go to the concession stands or the rest rooms as they are relatively close to the entry and exit doors.
One drawback is (since the floor is flat and no elevated seats behind one another) if people stand up in front of you they block the view of the stage. In this manner, I feel it's best to either have seats close in front or a good location half way up or so in the first elevated seat sections or so. Or at least, not higher than the mezzanine area. But, all in all my girlfriend and I were pretty happy to have floor location seats, despite the high ticket prices and beverage prices that definitely put a real limit on frequency of attending concerts.
One thing that I was much surprised about is that the entry security and guide workers (several as you come in) all saw my 35mm camera strapped around my kneck and welcomed me in with open arms so due to this fact I thought it was ok to use a 35mm camera at the concert. However, to my surprise after about 25 minutes a very abrupt and very rude photo police security guy in plain cloths confronted me and made a BIG STINK to me and then to the security staff. He rudely said to me "I could care less if you take all the photos you wish of J.Geils because he could care less about them. I asked him if he worked for the Garden. He hesitated and said "no" I work for Bob Seger. I loved the show from both bands. But, I now have a real sour taste in my mouth about the Bob Seger crew and their rude and crude "money-money-money me-me-me attitude. I paid about $320.00 for my seat two tickets including 30.00 for prepaid parking (the parking lot location was great. Right across the street from the Garden.
In my opinion, it would have been much more appropriate if the entry security informed me not to carry my 35mm camera in before they took my entry tickets. It is certainly not appropriate on the part of Madison Square Guarden to welcome you in at the entry gate with a 35mm camera in plain open view to them and "then" have several huge security guys come stomping at you like they were looking for Jack The Ripper. I simply was on a nice special date with a wonderful woman who I treated to a special concert that I waited to see in anticipation for a long time. I last saw J.Geils in 1977 at the Paladium for their 10th anniversery concert. And I saw Bob Seger at the Garden some years ago. I only was interested in a special night of enjoyment with my very special girlfriend. And some momento photos to cherish in the future. The reaction of that Bob Seger Roady and the Garden Security was heavilly overkill and uncalled for. When it was explained to me that the 35mm camera can't be used, I simply put it away in my girlfriend's handbag and used a small point and shoot camera. In fact many people in the whole area were using Ipods, and I even saw another fan using a 35mm camera while standing right in the open isle. As a matter of "fact" I did not say one word back in response to the security yet when confronted, and several nice fans sitting around me protested to the security staff when they saw how they were trying to treat me. I just met those nice people at the concert and we all peacefully and respectfully enjoyed one anothers company and the concert with the exception to that uncalled for overkill response by three huge security guys who came to my seat area.
Disney Descendants Zombies - Aug 21, 2025 It was nice to be front row but the seats are right next to some kind of gate so it is hard for kids to see the stage over the gate unless the performers are right next to the edge of the stage.

Seating and Ticket Q&A
Are tickets in Section C, Row 17 good seats for a concert at MSG?
Floor Section C
For most concerts at Madison Square Garden, Floor Section C will have 26 rows of seating for end stage setups. This will put you near the back of the section at Row 17, however you will still be very close to the stage as the front of Section C is just steps away from the front of the stage. Being further back in the section gives you a better line of sight than some of the closest rows, as the stage will be elevated above the floor seating and sometimes makes for awkward viewing when too close.
Floor Seating is Not Elevated
One point of caution regarding floor seats is that these rows will not be elevated over the rows in front, the seats will be folding chairs set out on the floor of the Garden. Therefore, this creates a greater risk of an obstructed view if you should have a taller fan sitting directly in front of you. This is a risk in any floor seating section, unless you are able to obtain tickets in the front row of the floor section to provide relief from fans in front of you.
Overall, the views from Section C Row 17 will be very good, and this is one of the best places to be for staying close to the stage and feeling as if you are completely immersed in the performance.
Are sections 1-3 at MSG elevated over other floor sections?
Typical Floor Seat Configuration
For most end-stage concerts at Madison Square Garden, floor sections can be grouped into front, middle and back locations. Floor sections A, B and C are usually closest to the stage with section B near center stage. Sections D-F are then located directly behind the front three sections. Finally, numbered sections 1-3 (sometimes labeled 01, 02 and 03) are at the back of the floor.
Elevated Seating in Sections 01-03
With sections A-F typically occupying the first 40 rows from the stage, sections 1-3 are often over-looked (and some don't consider them floor seats at all) and ignored. However, these seats do offer something that other floor seats do not: elevation.
Fans seated in the back rows of A-C or any row in D-F may find it difficult to see over other fans seated in front of them because all seats on the floor are folding chairs on a flat surface. What happens when you bring a child to a show and a group of large individuals is sitting in front of you? There's not much you can do.
Numbered Sections Offer a Better View For Shorter Fans
At most concert venues, including MSG, we recommend that shorter and younger fans skip the floor altogether and choose a seat in a riser section (at Madison Square Garden all riser sections are numbered). In sections 1-3, the first ten rows rise minimally but rows 11-20 offer enough of a slope to help you see over other fans and to the stage. You may not be as close to the stage as you want, but at least you'l have a comfortable and unobstructed view of your favorite performer(s).
In row 26 of section C for seats 1 and 2, what aisle are they on?
For most concerts at MSG, there are 17 seats in each row of section C. As you look towards the stage from this section, seats 1 and 2 are on the left side aisle - closer to the center of the stage.
In section c floor row 8 where are seats 14 and 15 ?
The floor setup for the Hall and Oates show is fairly standard for an end-stage concert. As such, seats 14 and 15 are on the far right side of section C - close to lower level sections 107 and 108.
