Buying the best tickets for Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Irvine CA is straightforward. The closer you are the better, except for The Pit. Even though being in The Pit is as close as you can get, the sight line isn’t. Try to get seats from around row E in the Orchestra if you want the best. Face values often escalate the closer you get to the stage and few shows have the same ticket price for all seats.

If you can afford face value for Orchestra seats, but don’t get them when the show goes on sale, go to the secondary market. You should be able to get Orchestra seats in the back of Orchestra 1 or 3 for close or under face value for shows that are not sold out. Additionally, tickets in Orchestra 2 will generally only be on the secondary market. Almost all Orchestra 2 seats that are released to the public are done so on a season ticket basis. The average cost per ticket is usually double the face value printed on the ticket. But don’t get upset if you are paying $140 for a $100 ticket! You are not getting ripped off. The season ticket holder probably bought directly from the venue for double the “printed” price.

Ticket Analyst advice for seating at Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Irvine:

-The pit is often overcrowded and uncomfortable for the most popular shows.

-Once you get more than 10-15 rows back in the Orchestra, it doesn’t really matter how close to the center your seat is.

-The lawn is a long steep trek and requires arrival at door time to get a good spot.
