Typical layout
Indicative layout for an arena — not St. Jakobshalle's exact chart. The precise section map for your event is shown on the marketplace before checkout.
Basel's big hall, refreshed in 2018 for tours and the Swiss Indoors.
Where to sit
Best value
Lower-tier corner sections — close to the action for less than the premium side seats.
For sports
Lower-tier seats along the side at the center line, rows 5–20.
For concerts
Floor if you want energy; lower-tier sections at a 45° angle to the stage often see and hear better than floor rows far back.
Budget play
Front rows of the upper tier, center — the rail keeps sightlines clean.
St. Jakobshalle fan tip
