Where to sit
Best value
Rear reserved sections — a real seat for not much more than lawn on many dates.
Best sound
Center reserved near the mix position (the sound booth) is what the engineer tunes for.
Lawn tips
Arrive early, bring a blanket; screens cover the detail. Cheapest way into a big summer show.
Weather
Reserved seats are usually under the pavilion roof; lawn is open sky.
Pacific Amphitheatre fan tip
During the OC Fair, concert tickets often include fair admission — check before buying separately.
