Seating
EDIT - a few rows have been changed and the below info doesn't match the current set up.
Your best result for current seating is to see the interactive seating chart on TM for example.
Detailed seating info attached.
The seating is kinda wacky in places, for example sections that you would assume are the same (102 and 103) are not. Certain rows have more or less seats then their counterpart.
Lakeview Amp ~ Syracuse, NY
“Pit” is the first 6 rows & holds 500 people
Seat numbers of all sections begin on stage left side
There are NO rows “I” or “O” in any section
Row “T” of the 100’s & row “Q” of the 200’s are broken up into wheelchair seating
Box seats are not always split equal but I didn't have time to get complete details on this.
