Who Should Sit Here
Floor seats at the Moda Center are for fans who want to be as close to the stage as possible and in the middle of the show's energy. They're ideal for concertgoers who prioritize proximity to the performers over an elevated, wide-angle view.
Floor Seating Details
The floor sits at stage level in the area that serves as the basketball court during Trail Blazers games. It's most commonly split into three equal-sized sections — labeled Floor Left, Floor Right and Floor Center for some concerts, and simply Floor for others. Rows run about 40 deep from front to back, with roughly 42 seats across each row, though the exact setup changes by show. Check the concert seating chart for specifics on the event you're attending.
Views from the Floor
Being at stage level puts you right in the action and close to the performers. Keep in mind that floor seating is flat rather than tiered, so sightlines toward the back rows can be affected by the crowd standing in front of you.
Good to Know
For some concerts, a general admission (GA) floor section is added. GA sometimes takes up the entire floor and other times only half of it. In either case the section is first-come, first-serve, and all tickets have access to all parts of that same section — so arriving early pays off if you want to be near the front.

Fan Reviews
Terrible view and too far away! — Paid WAY too much for deceptively marketed seats. Could have actually seen Billy Joel and saved a lot by selecting seats in higher sections. Even the seats behind the stage were better! 42 rows back.... may have well been 150 rows back. Ripped off.
Terrible view — These seats were not at all worth it for the price. The stage isn't high enough and we could barely see it. We were blocked by everyone in front of us. Sound was fine.
Absolutely fantastic. The best seats we ever had for a Bubble concert!!!
Seating and Ticket Q&A

General Admission Floor Tickets
Generally, we would advise fans to purchase floor seats if they want the absolute best, closest view. However, the general admission floor seating at the Rose Garden presents challenges.

Unless you are planning on arriving very early, you may end up in the back of the floor -- at which point you would have been better off buying a reserved seat. You may have taller fans in front of you and you may be pushed off far to one side or the other, further limiting your view.
Best Seats Not on the Floor
To still be close to the stage, try the front rows of Sections 101 or 112. If you don't mind being farther from the stage, try Sections 117-118 and 223-224. You will have a head-on view and be more comfortable.
For a traditional end stage setup, the floor section of the Moda Center will feature 40 numbered rows of seating, with Row 39 being the second from the very back. As these are some of the furthest views from the floor where no elevation exists between rows, we would recommend searching for closer seating in the main seating bowl. Sections 102 and 111 offer great views for a traditional end stage performance, with good proximity to the action and an excellent viewing height.

Floor seats at the Moda Center are typically assigned to one section. This single section usually contains anywhere from 30-50 rows of seats. And for most end-stage concerts, these rows contain 42 seats with seat 1 all the way to the right of the stage and seat 42 all the way to the left.

The layout of the 42 seats varies by show, but the following rules generally apply:
- Rows 1 and 2 have 42 seats straight across with no breaks
In other rows...
- Seats 1-12 are right-most (when looking at the stage)
- Seats 16-27 are head-on to the stage
- Seats 31-42 are left-most
- Walkways are where seats 13-15 and 28-30 would be
Motley Crue Show
For the 2015 Motley Crue show, all of the above rules apply. In seats 34 and 35 you will be just to the left of center stage in an awesome spot to see the show.
