Billy Joel MSG Tickets and Seating Chart Tips

 

Billy Joel Madison Square Garden Seating Chart Tips

Billy Joel’s piano at Madison Square Garden is set up so that it rotates 360 degrees; you know what that means? Billy Joel, his organizers, and MSG are making sure that everyone gets a good view at some point during his concert. Unlike most concerts at MSG, tickets throughout the whole venue are sold, this helps them maximize profits and the venue’s capacity.

Okay, so for the Billy Joel concert at MSG – there’s actually a little secret… the seats behind the stage are marked as ‘rear view’ – but the way Billy plays you can see the concert perfectly and those sections (111-113) provide the best ticket deals and some consider them the best seats for Billy’s MSG concert.

The feedback that we received from people was that unless they were in the first 5 rows on the floor (sections A, B, or C) then these rows 10 – 20 in sections 111-113 were better.

Why Are Sections 111-113 Such a Good Deal?

First off, depending on the tickets they will say, rear view, or obstructed view, this fact alone is going to scare off the majority of people from sitting in these sections and that’s understandable because unless you can see pictures (like the ones above) you’d have to take the organizers word that they are obstructed. With that said, a couple hundred tickets in the sections have sold on TickPick and we’ve only heard good things.

However, it is important to know that row 6 is the first row in sections 111-113, which sounds like a good thing, but we advise our fans to avoid the first couple of rows in these sections. That’s because a little bit of height is a good thing. It’s possible that for example section 111 row 6, is obstructed by the stage configuration such as lights and cameras, etc.

Sections 110 and 114 also have good deals, however, we find the angles are not as good as 111-113 and there are thin cables that hang from the ceiling that has the potential to obstruct your view. But don’t take our word for it, check it out for yourself: Billy Joel Tickets with no hidden fees.

Best Seats for Billy Joel at MSG

For the majority of the concert, Billy Joel’s piano faces to either the right or left of the stage. This allows fans in front of or behind the stage to have a similar view. But if you are sitting in sections 108-109 or 115-116 you will be looking at Billy straight on for a good portion of the show, making these sections the most sought-after (and most expensive).

Billy Joel MSG Ticket & Seating Chart Q&A

Q. In the 111 section for the Billy Joel concert, is there a large screen visible?  A friend of mine who sat facing the stage said the large screens enhanced the show, but they were not sure if those people sitting in the back also had a screen to view.

A. You will not be able to see the main screens from sections 111-113, however, there are a few screens that you’ll be able to see so you can watch Billy Joel occasionally. With that said, you’ll be significantly closer to the stage, so you shouldn’t have to watch a screen.

Q. Do most people stand or sit at Billy Joel?

A. Some do, some don’t. If you have a ticket in the floor sections, be prepared to stand for the entire show. Most people in the upper and lower bowls sit until “Scenes from an Italian Restaurant” comes on, and then stand through the encore.
