Seating in the Laughlin Event Center

Each concert has different pricing and may have different configurations of seating.  However, the standard "floor" seating, grandstand seating, and bleacher seating are shown below. Check the ticket prices and seating available at laughlineventcenter.com 



Depending how much you want to pay for a ticket, there are many options.  Sections 101-102-103 and even 105 offer the best views are are the highest priced (regular tickets).  The luxury or VIP section right in front of the stage is even more.  *Each show may differ as to the seats available in front of the stage. 

There are also three suites (S1-S2-S3) and three Dream Seats Sections D1-D2-D3.   

Tickets in sections 201-202-203 are considered to be grandstand seats and they do have chairs with back on them.  Seating in the Bleachers (section 301-302-303) are metal bleachers, no backs and smaller space.  They also involve some step climbing to reach them. 

Our recommendation if you can pick your tickets, no matter what section you are in--try to not be in the middle of the row.  Getting in and out is a small challenge when the show is going on. Section 202 in the first 2 or three rows, on either end are the best mid priced tickets.
