Venue layout, seat numbering, and seating plans: where exactly is my seat?

How is each venue laid out?

Arenas — AFAS Dome, Lotto Arena, Forest National & Trixxo Arena

These large arenas are arranged in blocks and rows, often in a round or oval shape around the stage. You'll find your seat using the color zone, block number, row number, and seat number on your ticket(s). These venues typically have 2 or 3 levels:

• Floor: in front of the stage, seated or standing depending on the event; seated rows are flat with no elevation change; color zone gray.
• Stands (1st floor): rising rows, block numbers in the 100 series.
• Balcony (2nd floor): rising rows, block numbers in the 200 series.

Theaters — Capitole Gent & Stadsschouwburg Antwerpen

Fixed layout with orchestra level, balconies, and sometimes boxes. You'll find your seat using a zone and your block, row, and seat number.

Trixxo Theater Hasselt

Fixed layout with orchestra level and stands. You'll find your seat using a color zone and your block, row, and seat number. The orchestra level (green and orange) consists of 2 blocks: block 001 on the right and block 002 on the left. The stands at the back are divided into color zones (red, purple, blue, and yellow).

How are the seats numbered?

Numbering differs by venue.

AFAS Dome, Lotto Arena, and Forest National

One "physical" block is often treated as 2 "numeric" blocks. For example, block 118/119: numbering runs from seat 1 to 8 in block 118, then back from 8 to 1 in block 119. In the middle, this means two seats share the same seat number, but in a different block — that's normal, not an error. Not all blocks have the same number of seats, so other combinations besides 8-8 are possible.

Trixxo Arena and Trixxo Theater Hasselt

Numbering runs sequentially per block (1, 2, 3, 4…), with an aisle between each block.

Stadsschouwburg Antwerpen and Capitole Gent

Blocks are split into an even and odd side — even numbers (2, 4, 6…) run from the middle toward one side, odd numbers (1, 3, 5…) toward the other. This can make it look like a seat is "missing," but that's normal.

General rule for all arenas: seat numbers increase from the outside toward the inside of each block, and adjacent blocks often meet with their highest seat number in the middle.

Did you order your tickets in one transaction? Then you're very likely to be seated together — the ticketing system clearly flags it during booking if your seats wouldn't be next to each other.

What types of standing areas are there?

Depending on the event, there are standing areas on different levels, always behind the last row of seats:

• Floor (arena): the "field" in front of the stage. Sometimes a 'Golden Circle,' one or more 'pits,' or a separate zone for Fan Experience Packages is set up here — determined by the organizer in consultation with the artist.
• 1st floor (stands): behind the last row of seats on the stands.
• 2nd floor (balcony): behind the last row of seats on the balcony.

Where can I find the full seating plan?

The seating plan shows the color zones the seats are located in. Note: this plan says nothing about price categories — each organizer decides which price applies to which seat, and the seating configuration can vary per event.
