Merriweather Post Pavilion Seating Information
For most performances, Merriweather Post Pavilion is divided into four basic areas. The first, the front floor area, may either be set as a general admission pit, or it may offer reserved seating in the left, center, or right sections. The next level offers riser-style seating broken into five sections that run from the floor section to the back of the pavilion: left loge, left center, center, right center, and right loge. In the middle of the center section and towards the front of the left loge section, private VIP boxes may be available for Vans Warped Tour fans. The final area of lawn general admission brings up the rear of the pavilion and remains uncovered by the roof of the amphitheater.
Certain events, especially festivals, at the venue may only offer general admission seating for the entire venue, in which case the pavilion seats are first-come, first-served.
