Bridgestone Arena Basketball Seating Details

There are many options when choosing your NCAA Men’s SEC Tournament tickets. The seat numbers at Bridgestone Arena follow a standard pattern: seat 1 is always on the aisle adjacent to the lower-numbered section next to it.

Bridgestone Arena’s seats are divided into four sections: courtside, 100s, 200s, and 300s. The further up you go, the higher the numbers.

The Best Seats at the SEC Tournament

Some of the best SEC basketball tournament seats are just behind the team benches. 

Best seat expert tip: TickPick’s interactive seating chart lets you quickly find the best seats at the best ticket prices. When you arrive at an event page on TickPick, click “Seat Rating.” This will list all available tickets, from the best seats to the worst.

As a general rule of thumb, you want to be as close to the center court as possible, and some upper-level center court seats will have a better view than the lower-level baseline.

The Worst Seats at the SEC Tournament

The higher you go in the hundreds, the worse the seats will be. But don’t worry, you won’t be able to get a seat with an obstructed view without being told so before checkout.

Where Are the Student Sections for the SEC Tournament?

The student sections for each university will be designated for students of the participating teams only. Although the NCAA has yet to formally announce it for this year’s 2026 SEC Tournament, the student sections will likely be located in front of the baseline sections.

SEC Tournament Seat Number Information

Facing the court from the seats, seat 1 is on the right in each section. This means seat 1 will have the higher-numbered section to its right.

Accessible Seating at Bridgestone Arena

On each level of the arena, there is wheelchair-accessible seating. The arena has a page dedicated to accessibility information.

Also, one trick you can use to filter tickets that are handicapped-accessible or ADA accessible is to use our “Additional filters +” button on the event page, which lets you select “ADA (wheelchair accessible),” which shows all seats the seller has marked as accessible seating.
