Where to sit at State Farm Stadium for an Ed Sheeran concert

Choosing the right seat can dramatically shape your concert experience at State Farm Stadium, especially for a large-scale production like the "Loop Tour."

Floor seats

Floor seating offers the closest view of the stage and the most immersive experience. Because Ed Sheeran often performs with a center-stage or in-the-round setup, many floor sections provide excellent sightlines from multiple angles. Fans who want to be as close as possible to the action and don’t mind standing for most of the show will love this option.

Lower bowl (100 level)

Sections in the lower bowl are some of the most popular seats for stadium concerts. Fans here enjoy great views of the stage while still feeling close to the energy of the floor and the rest of the crowd. These seats are a strong choice if you want a balance of comfort, view, and atmosphere.

Club and premium seating

Club and premium areas at State Farm Stadium offer upgraded comfort and amenities. These sections often include access to exclusive lounges, private seating areas, and enhanced food and beverage options. Some premium tickets may also come with perks like expedited entry or premium parking, making the entire night smoother from arrival to encore.

Upper bowl (300–400 level)

Upper-level seats provide a more budget-friendly way to attend the show while still enjoying the full stadium production and visuals. Large video boards and lighting effects ensure fans can follow the performance from anywhere in the building. If you’re focused on getting into the show at the lowest possible price, these sections are your best bet.

How to get to State Farm Stadium

State Farm Stadium is located in Glendale, about 20 minutes northwest of downtown Phoenix and roughly 30 minutes from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. The stadium sits directly next to the Westgate Entertainment District, which makes it easy to combine dining, entertainment and the concert in one area.

Driving to the stadium

This option can be especially convenient for fans staying in nearby hotels or visiting Westgate before the concert.

Public transportation

Phoenix’s Valley Metro bus system provides service to Glendale and the surrounding area, though many concertgoers still choose to drive or use rideshare due to the stadium’s location outside central Phoenix.
