Tips to Help You Choose Concert Seats
Everyone talks about floor seats, but if you are not in the first 10 rows of section A1, B1, or C1 we suggest that you look at the sections right off the floor. Unlike many venues, Nassau Coliseum rarely sells tickets that are side view or obstructed. In addition, the sound quality towards the side of the stage is equivalent to the rest of the venue. If one is sitting in seat number 1 of section 101 (rows A to J), you are going to be the last seat. This may sound bad, but from this vantage point you will be very close to the stage and you will be directly in line with the artist (however, we do not suggest sitting in any section past 302 or 324). Lastly, we do not recommend sitting in the last 5 to 10 rows of any of the 300 sections (rows N to T).
The 100s, 200s and 300s Sections
The 100s sections and 200s sections are hardly different sections, instead there's a small break between the last row of the 100s (row J), before row A of the 200s. By knowing this one should not pay a large premium price between these two sections. However, the difference from the 200s and 300s is significant because the 300s start at a higher elevation.
The Best Concert Seats
The first couple of rows on the floor are some of the best seats in Nassau Coliseum but we believe that section 102, row A, seat 1 or section 117, row A, seat 15 (and the seats around it) provides a similar VIP experience for less money. When looking to buy tickets you should use TickPick, this is because there are no buyer fees and tickets are ranked based on the price and seat quality, thus helping you get the best deal.
