Parking, bag policy, transit and history are on the main Paycom Center guide.
The Paycom Center seat answer
On the Paycom Center seating chart, the best seats for a Thunder game are the lower-level center-court sections, 105–106 on one sideline and 115–116 on the other, with 115–117 putting you on the Thunder bench side. The best value is the club ring at midcourt, sections 208 and 223, which sits just above the lower bowl. On a budget, the upper level's center sections, 308 and 309 and their counterparts across the floor, show the whole court.
- Closest: courtside rows FL1–FL4 in 114–117.
- Best balance: 105–106 and 115–116, middle rows.
- Best value: 207–209 and 222–224 in the club ring.
- Budget: center 300s, low rows.
- Avoid for basketball: low rows right behind a basket.
How the three levels are numbered
Section ranges below come from RateYourSeats and TickPick, which agree on the key numbers, and the arena's own accessibility guide, which ties elevators to sections.
- Lower level, 101–120: twenty sections in one loop. Sections 101 and 120 meet behind one basket, and 110 and 111 meet behind the other, so the two sidelines are 102–109 and 112–119. Center court falls at 105–106 and 115–116. The Thunder and visiting benches share the 114–117 sideline, with the Thunder bench in front of 116 and 117.
- Club level, 201–230: a shallow ring of thirty sections above the lower bowl, with midcourt at 208 and 223. The arena's Club and Suite Level entrance is on the east side of the building. The end sections of the ring are sold as the Lower Terrace, with ledge seats and terrace lounges above them; RateYourSeats places the North Terrace Lounge behind 201–203 and 228–230 and the South Terrace Lounge behind 214–217.
- Upper level, 301–330: thirty sections branded Love's Loud City for Thunder games, with center court at 308–309 on one side.
- Floor: for concerts, reserved sections Floor 1–9; for basketball, courtside rows labeled FL1–FL4.
The arena lists elevators by section: section 101 near the northwest entrance (all levels, including the floor), 106 near the northeast entrance and 109 near the east entrance (club and suite level only).
Paycom Center seating chart with seat numbers
Two seating guides agree on where seat 1 sits. RateYourSeats states that when you face the court or stage, the lower seat numbers are on your right. TickPick describes the same rule from the other direction: the lowest seat number in a section is the end next to the neighboring lower-numbered section. One worked example in TickPick's guide reads the opposite way, so if you are buying an aisle pair, confirm the seat numbers against the section map.
Row lettering, per RateYourSeats' section pages:
- Lower sidelines: up to about 20 lettered rows, starting at row A for concerts and other events; section 116, for example, runs A–R, then SA, T and U, with the entrance at the top.
- Lower baselines: deeper, with double-letter rows (AA–UU) close to the floor and single-letter rows above them in sections such as 111. In the baseline sections the double letters are the closer seats, the reverse of what most fans expect.
- Courtside: rows FL1–FL4 in front of row A on the bench sideline.
- Upper level: most sections have about 20 rows, with row A at the front; section 308 runs A–R with the entrance at row A.
TickPick counts about 18 seats per row in the center lower sideline sections and 19 in the sections next to them, while upper sections range from about 8 seats in the narrow corners to about 25 in the widest sections.
The seat view from each level
Lower level
Sideline seats in the middle rows sit high enough to see over the benches and the scorer's table while keeping you close to the players. Baseline seats are cheaper; the farther a baseline seat sits toward the corner, the less the basket support blocks the view of the far end.
Club level
The club ring is one of the best-kept seats in the building. Its sections are among the smallest in the arena, so few heads sit in front of you, and its height makes it easy to follow play from one end to the other.
Upper level
Love's Loud City is steep and loud. Per RateYourSeats, the sideline seats here, sold as Balcony and Premier Balcony (the front row), have the best sightlines; Mezzanine and Plaza seats cover upper sideline rows, the corners and the front of the end sections; Loft seats at the ends are the cheapest, but the basket often blocks part of the view. A fan in a middle row at half court still sees both ends clearly.
Best and worst seats for a Thunder game
- Courtside Club (114–117, rows FL1–FL4): floor seats with club access and in-seat service. Section 117 sits directly behind the Thunder bench, and the front rows of 116 sit beside it; the visitors' bench is in front of 114 and 115.
- Premium Lower Level: per RateYourSeats, every row of 105, 106, 115 and 116, plus rows A–G of 104, 107, 114 and 117, with extra-padded seats and access to the MidFirst Bank Club concourse at Thunder games.
- The pick for most fans: 105–106 and 115–116, middle rows. The upper rows of 105–106 are the less expensive way into center court and keep a head-on view.
- Value: club sections 207–209 and 222–224.
- Budget: upper-level sideline sections around 308–309, front rows.
Seats to think twice about: the low rows directly behind each basket (around 101/120 and 110/111), where the basket structure blocks the far end, and the upper-level end sections, which add distance and the same basket problem.
Concerts, center stage and fight nights
Paycom Center holds fewer people for an end-stage concert than for basketball, because the seats behind the stage are closed. For most end-stage shows, RateYourSeats lists section 111 as behind or beside the stage, which places the stage at the 110–111 end and leaves the opposite end, around 101 and 120, facing it.
- Floor: nine reserved sections in three bands, 1–3 at the front, 4–6 in the middle and 7–9 at the back. RateYourSeats counts about 14 seats per floor row, with seat 1 on the right. Some tours sell general admission floor or pit space instead.
- Lower sides: 106 and 115 are RateYourSeats' end-stage picks for a raised, unblocked view.
- Club: 209 and 222 for end-stage shows.
- Avoid: sections beside or behind the stage and any seat marked limited view. Section 311 rates well for basketball but poorly for concerts.
For center-stage shows, boxing, wrestling and mixed martial arts, every side of the bowl faces the action, so the center sideline sections, 105–106 and 115–116, are again the safest choice. Layouts change by tour, so check the map attached to your event.
Accessible seating and elevators
Per the arena's accessibility guide, accessible seats are sold at the box office and online; say you need accessible seating when you buy. Up to three companion seats can be bought, in the same row when available. The guide does not list wheelchair sections, but the seating guides fill in the pattern: RateYourSeats shows a wheelchair platform behind row SA in lower sideline section 116, and TickPick notes that most upper-level sections have accessible rows at the top, with folding chairs available for companions.
- Elevators: section 101 (all levels including the floor), section 106 (100, 200 and 300 levels), section 109 (club and suite level only), plus banks near the southwest and northeast entrances.
- Assistive listening devices: free at Guest Relations across from section 105, with an ID as deposit.
- Quiet room: next to First Aid at section 112.
Details are as published in 2026; check the arena's guide before you go.
Frequently asked questions

Facing the court, the lowest seat numbers are on your right, the end next to the lower-numbered neighboring section. RateYourSeats and TickPick describe the same rule, but confirm aisle seats on the section map.
How many rows are in each section at Paycom Center?
Lower sideline sections have about 20 lettered rows, plus courtside rows FL1–FL4 on the bench side. Upper-level sections have about 20 rows, with row A at the front.
What is the view like from the 300 level at Paycom Center?
Steep but clear from the sidelines. Center sections such as 308 and 309 show both ends; the end sections are cheapest but the basket often blocks part of the view.
