Best Seats For a Concert at Wrigley Field
The most common seating layout at Wrigley Field for concerts is an end-stage setup with the stage located near sections Section 101, Section 102 and Section 202. For many concerts there are also slight variations to the layout, which may include General Admission seats, fan pits and B-stages.
Field seats - like those in Field P - are among the most sought-after tickets
On the Field: Sections Field A, Field AA, Field AB and Field B are Field Seats, which offer some of the closest views of the performers. For many concerts, field sections are added or removed. These performer-specific adjustments may alter the field layout and the views from each field 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 4, Section 5 and Section 6. The view is not head-on like on the field, but many of the seats are closer to the stage, provide better elevation and are actual stadium seats.
Section 218 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 16, Section 18, Section 19 and Section 115 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 101, Section 102, Section 202 and Section 203. 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 field seats only in the first few rows: The most common complaint amongst field 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 227 and 228 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 403 and 404.

Section 221 - Right in front of a pillar. - (Baseball Review)
Section 210 - Worst seats I have ever had. - (Baseball Review) Worst seats I have ever had, especially if you are up high -- I was in sec 213, row 21. I did not even feel like I was at the game at all. Totally enclosed by the roof and the overhead beams -- can not see the scoreboard, the sky, or even fly balls. You just see a thin sliver of field. Even worse, the big columns block the pitcher, 1B, or the plate, depending on your seat. It would have been better to watch from home on TV.
Section 205 - Clear infield views in rows 1-8 - (Baseball Review) While you need to consider the neighboring beams from rows below the beams themselves in aisles further down the line (202-204), in section 205 you begin to have a less extreme angle to the field.
Section 206 - Less chance of obstructed views on the right side - (Baseball Review) Most views from seats higher than row 6 will have the risk of an obstructed view, but you can still find decent infield views if sitting in seat numbers 1-4 in rows 12 and lower. Without knowing the seat number prior to purchase, avoid rows 7 and higher whenever possible.
Baseball purists will find some of the best spots for watching a game at Wrigley in upper rows of the Field Box (100 Level) seats. Close views and near perfect seating height are a big plus, and the smaller sections with entry tunnels both above and below the aisles ensure less time away from the game.
Opt for seats in Rows 10 and higher in Sections 110 through 115 for amazing views on the third base line. Though they are behind the extended netting, these seats are close to the Cubs dugout and offer beautiful views of the entire playing field. On the first base side, Sections 123-127 offer a similar experience in Rows 10 and higher for those who want to be closer to the visitor dugout.
Best Home Plate Views
For those looking for that scout style view (right behind home plate), Rows 10 and above in Sections 115 through 120 are an excellent choice. You will be behind the netting from here, but will have a great vantage point for watching the entire field. Additional bonuses include straight away views of the scoreboard and good angles to both video boards.
So why Rows 10 and higher? Not only will you be closer to the upper entry tunnels and have a great viewing height, but you'll also be up enough to see over fans passing by in the walkway at the bottom of the aisle.
However if the budget doesn't allow for a lower level seat, there are still some good options to consider on Wrigley Field's upper deck. The last 5 rows of Sections 310-314 (Rows 4 and higher) are some of the best from the upper tier thanks to the great positioning near home plate, and will keep you far up enough where the front railing doesn't impact your view. Sections 319-323 offer similar benefits in Rows 6 and higher, and they are near the visitors dugout. These upper tier options are all very close to the entry tunnels as well, making for quicker trips away from your seats.
Good head on views of the pitchers mound and the middle of the infield
Closer to the visiting team dugout on the upper deck
Entry tunnels are no more than 5 rows away for quicker trips to the concourse
Best Seats for Impressing a Guest
When it comes to impressing your guest at a Cubs game, the best options are all the brand new clubs that have been added at Wrigley Field in recent years. These include the 1914 Club, The W Club, Marker's Mark Barrel Room, and The Catalina Club. Most of these clubs have all-inclusive amenities including alcoholic drinks.
Outside of club seating, you can find undeniably unique experience in the first five rows behind the Cubs dugout in sections 9-12. Not only are the views of the field amazing from so close, you will also get some great face time with the Cubs players as they enter and exit the dugout.
Should you find yourself lucky enough to sit in the first 6 rows of Section 18, these seats have an amazing view from right behind home plate and are a part of the 1914 Club. Its also one the very best spots in the park to get yourself on the TV broadcast.
Cree Lighting Club
Although not as close to the players as other options, the Cree Lighting Club is another area where you will have no problem making a lasting impression on your guests. These seats are located on the Suite Level down the third base line, and offer a premium all-inclusive experience and are among the very best in luxury at Wrigley field. Finding single game tickets here is extremely rare, so we recommend acting fast if you find these seats available for purchase.
Unlike some other ballparks, Wrigley Field doesn't have a dedicated family section, however there are some areas we recommend over others.
Along the third base line, Sections 210 and 212 are not far from the Cubs dugout, and also put you close to Clark's Clubhouse (home of the Cubs new mascot, found on the third base concourse ramp). Nearby you will also find a number of concession stands and a merchandise kiosk. Stick with seats in Rows 1 through 6 to be close to the entry tunnels at the bottom of the aisles and you'll also avoid the viewing obstructions from the support beams. Seats here will be under cover of the upper deck, and get the sun at their back sooner.
Upper Deck Seating
On the upper deck there is a good concentration of concessions located behind the seats on both the first base and third base sides (Sections 312-309 and 321-324), along with both men's and women's restrooms. Seats nearby will make sure everyone in the family has something to choose from, and trips to the restrooms shouldn't require a very long walk. Seats in Sections 319-322 will have unobstructed views of the field and no more than 10 rows to walk to reach the seats, but do not have any overhead coverage. If you prefer more protection from the weather, consider the first 5 rows of Sections 423-425 where you will be under cover while staying close to the amenities (just be sure to avoid seats near the aisles which is where the viewing obstructions are most noticeable).
Bleachers Seating
While the Bleachers are among the best places for getting a game ball as a souvenir, we would recommend not bringing the kids out there as the Bleachers are known more for a party atmosphere and see the most sun during day games.
Good overhead coverage and shade for summer day games
Be sure to avoid seats close to the aisles as you may have obstructed views
Best Seats for Partying and Socializing
For those looking for a social outing at Wrigley Field, the Bleachers are absolutely the place to be. Known for years as the top spot among party goers at the ballpark, the Bleachers are an ideal option for soaking in the sun and the suds. And as a general admission seating area during the regular season, there are a few different options for where you might want to be.
Left Field is the better option for snagging a home run ball, and while you can find smaller seating areas near the foul pole to make it easier to move from the seats to the beer stands, it also means less fans nearby to mix it up with.
In Center Field you can sit either in the lower or upper portion. Lower center bleacher seats are the most convenient options for grabbing that next round of beverages as you'll be right by the vendor stands, and very close to Platform 14 behind the iconic Wrigley scoreboard. You won't see many home run balls land nearby and viewing the video boards is difficult, but all that shouldn't matter as you come here to party it up!
Right Field is a great choice for an energetic outing at Wrigley. Large seating areas leave you with a lot of neighbors, and unlike left field which has the Porch located above the seats (reserved for private groups), right field has standing rail above the seats - prime real estate for a party atmosphere at the ballpark.
If you can get to Wrigley early enough, a seat in the front row of the bleachers is always a good time. You can lean up against the small wall just in front, reach for a home run ball if it lands in the baskets, and heckle the opposing outfielders.
Legendary for enjoying a few beers and soaking up the sun
General admission seating during the regular season lets you pick your own spot
Close access to unique food and beverage at Platform 14 behind center field
Best Seats for Getting a Ball
Getting a ball at Wrigley Field has gotten a little harder with the addition of extended netting to protect fans from foul balls during the game. However some creativity and good placement can help you bring home a souvenir.
The front rows of Sections 9-12 and 23-26 keep you right up against the dugouts, where you not only have incredible views, but will also be remarkably close to the players. It used to be that you send the guys a few well placed compliments and a request or two, and you would get tossed a warm up ball over the roof of the dugout. Unfortunately, the home plate netting has extended in front of these sections. We have seen players pass balls under the netting but it is no longer as easy as it was before. For a ball between innings, the best place to be now is a few rows back in Sections 9, 12, 13, 22, 23, and 27 where the players typically pass by after the third out.
If it's a foul ball you're after, you'll want to be in either Sections 108-106 (down the third base line), or Sections 127-130 (down the first base line). These seats are in prime territory for foul balls over the netting with very good views of the game to go along.
Getting a Home Run Ball
For a home run ball, the only option is out in the famous Wrigley Field Bleachers. Left center (below the new videoboard) is a hot spot for the big hitters, and if you can get a seat in the front row you'll also have a chance to pick a long ball out of the baskets. The Bleachers are also a good option for getting tossed a ball after warm-ups between innings, so you also might want to stick close to the outfielders.
Sit near the outfielders for a chance at a warm-up ball
Best Seats for Visiting Team Fans
If you're at Wrigley to cheer on the visitors, there are a number of excellent options which keep you right by your favorite players.
Often the best place for a visiting team fan to sit is right behind the dugout, however these seats also come with a higher price tag. Sections 23 through 27 put you right by the dugout, offering impressive sights of the team running on and off the diamond. While the new protective netting has separated players and fans a bit more, be sure to wear your best visiting team gear sitting in these seats and you may still be able to get a souvenir.
Sitting in the 1914 Club
Some of the most expensive, but most impressive seats for a visiting team supporter are in the first seven rows of Section 22. These seats are within just a few rows of the field and part of the 1914 Club which has some of the best amenities Wrigley Field has to offer. Beyond that these seats have absolutely stunning views of the on deck circle and batter's box. After crossing home plate, it feels as if the players are coming right at you as they make their way back to the bench. At the very front of Section 22 (Rows 1 and 2) you can even see right into the dugout.
Visiting Fans in the Bleachers
And then there are the Bleachers, a hallmark of Wrigley Field which provides a unique experience unlike any other in the ballpark. The party atmosphere is second to none, and its a great opportunity to catch a home run ball, but visiting fans should be prepared to throw a long ball back if it doesn't come off of a Cubs bat. Bring your thick skin if rooting for the visitors, as you are sure to get some heckles from the Chicago faithful sitting nearby.

Best Seats for Comfortable Viewing
When searching for a comfortable seat at Wrigley, we recommend sticking to the areas where you'll have a good natural line of sight to the infield, and close access from the concourse.
Down the left field line fans can find some very good, and often affordable, options in the first 10 rows of Sections 202 and 204. Although near the foul pole, the seats are well angled at the infield minimizing the amount of head turning throughout the game. You'll be close to the lower walkway and also have the sun at your back sooner than fans on the first base side.
Just below, Sections 101-105 are similar options with good seating angles, but are closer to the field. Concourse access is always close by in these sections, and you again get to have the sun at your back earlier.
Another excellent option is Rows 1-6 in Sections 215-218 behind home plate. The seats keep you just steps away from the walkways and tunnels at the bottom, and have excellent straight away views from right behind the action. In the first 6 rows you will also be free of any of the 200 level viewing obstructions, while still getting good overhead coverage.

Where is the lower level walkway at Wrigley Field?
At Wrigley Field, a set of field level sections (all numbered below 32) are closest to the action. Behind those sections are 100 level sections numbered between 101 and 134. The first row in these 100s sections is Row 1. While these rows seem to have enough legroom to park a small truck, it's due to the walkway that separates field and 100 sections.
A walkway separates low-number sections (under 32) and 100 level sections.
For some, instant access to this walkway is seen as an enormous bonus. More often than not, it allows for a quick retreat to the concourse with its restrooms and concessions. For others - usually those who keep a close eye on the game - the walkway is as bad as an obstructed seat. With fans constantly moving to and fro, the walkway can become crowded with people and may limit your view - especially while the ball is in play.
If you're not in it for the extra legroom, we recommend choosing row 4 or 5. You'll still be close to the walkway, but you'll have enough elevation to see over the people occupying it.
Are there any handicap accessible seats at Wrigley Field?
There are multiple areas of Wrigley Field which offer handicap accessible seating, including the Field Box sections behind home plate (100 Level), the Upper Deck Box behind home plate (300 Level), Terrace Reserved (200 Level) and the Bleachers.
When looking to purchase handicap accessible seats at Wrigley Field, we recommend contacting the Cubs box office directly to inquire about availability. They can be reached at 1-800-843-2827.
Where are Field T & Field U seating??
For concerts with a GA Field, Field T and U seating will be on the Field itself (where the Cubs would play during a baseball game) in front of the stage and behind the general admission field. Field T will be directly behind the GA Field on the far left side when looking at the stage. Field U will be on the far right side of the stage located behind the GA Field and Field L.
Is section 107 row 14 covered from rain?
No, all 100 level sections at Wrigley Field are uncovered. With rain in the forecast all fans sitting in these seats should be prepared!
How many rows in each section at Wrigley Field?
Each section has a varying amount of rows and seats. Find a section to see row and/or seat numbers.
