Where to sit

Best value

Lower-tier corners usually price well below the seats along the side, with most of the view.

For sports

Side seats near the halfway line, rows 10–30 of the lower tier.

For concerts

Floor center or lower-tier side sections facing the stage. Check whether the stage blocks rear sections — marketplaces mark restricted views.

Budget play

Upper-tier center often beats lower-tier seats behind the goal for the view per price.

Getting there

St Peter's and Stadium of Light Metro stations are both about 10 minutes' walk.
