Section 17 at Midflorida Credit Union Amphitheatre

(2026 Review) - Assigned Seating (Sections 1–17): Reserved seats closer to the stage than the Lawn    Fully Covered: All reserved sections sit under the pavilion roof    Closest Options: Sections 1–7 offer the best proximity to the stage    Balanced Value: Sections 8–10 provide strong views without premium pricing    Back Reserved Sections: Sections 11–17 offer solid value with no obstructing poles    Who Should Sit Here  Reserved seating is ideal for fans who want a guaranteed seat, protection from the weather, and a more structured concert experience. This is the best option for those deciding between proximity (Sections 1–7) and value (Sections 8–17) while avoiding the unpredictability of the Lawn.  Reserved Seating Location & Details  Reserved sections at MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre are numbered 1–17 and make up the main pavilion seating area. These sections are significantly closer to the stage than the lawn and offer the added benefit of assigned seating.  One of the biggest advantages of this area is that all reserved seats are covered by the pavilion roof, providing protection from rain and sun — a major benefit for shows in Tampa.  Near the Stage (Sections 1–7)  Sections 1–7 are the closest reserved seats to the stage and provide the most immersive experience outside of the Pit.  Seats in Sections 1–3 are typically the closest available and are ideal for fans who want to be right near the performance. For some shows, however, these sections may be replaced by a General Admission Pit. When that happens, Sections 5 and 6 become the best reserved seating options.  Pit (When Available)  For select shows, Sections 1–3 are removed and replaced with a General Admission Pit. This creates a standing-room-only area designed for high-energy performances, allowing fans to get closer to the stage and move freely.  Upper Reserved (Sections 8–17)  Sections 8–17 provide a range of elevated viewing options with varying price points.  Sections 8–10 are often considered a strong middle-ground option. While Sections 8 and 10 are slightly off to the sides with angled views, they are still relatively close to the stage. Section 9 stands out for its centered location and balanced sightlines from behind the VIP Boxes.  Sections 11–17 are the largest reserved sections and sit just in front of the Lawn. These seats are farther back but still benefit from clear views. Unlike many amphitheaters, this area does not have support poles obstructing sightlines, which is a major advantage.  Views from Reserved Seating  Views can vary widely depending on section and row.  Sections closer to the stage provide a more immersive experience, while higher-numbered sections offer a more relaxed, elevated perspective. Across all areas, seats closer to the center of the pavilion (around Section 14) tend to offer the most balanced, head-on views.  Other Considerations  All reserved seating is fully covered, making it a reliable option in poor weather    Lower-numbered sections offer better proximity, while higher-numbered sections offer better value    Aim for a balance between row proximity and centered positioning when selecting seats
