For people with experience of this Arena. Which are the better seats?

Block S3 - Row N

or

Block N5 - Row W

S3 is closer to the stage but I am thinking it might have a restrictive view...

    That would be with no seat then,and in fact standing , probably somewhere quite near me.

  • S3 is more side on than N5 and they're both in the upper tier so I would say a less side on view is better. I'm in N5 so it better be good.
  • All seats are good seats when Pearl Jam are in the room, surely!
    If I knew where it was, I would take you there...

    That'd be a pain in the ass. Both physically and economically.
  • I'm in block D1. Does anyone know if these seats are raised at all? I'm pretty short, so I'm hoping they are.

    Yeah they are. Not fully, but your view shan't be obstructed in any dangerous way.

    Scroll down to Central Arena Seats and you will read:

    Behind section C comes section D, the only section on the floor area to have seats "stepped" in a shallow tier arrangement. D2 or D4, from about 3 rows back may provide a little more view, but again remember that shorter people could have up to 84 rows of people standing up in front of them between themselves and the stage.

    Reader John gives more detail, based on his visit to Kylie Minogue's concert in January 2007:
    "As well as Block D being on a rake, Block C is stepped too. C and D merge into one another with only the row numbers going from 17 to 1 to signify this. Each step in height is shallow and has 2, yes 2, rows on it. Hence if you're in the 2nd row and short too you're really up against it. The front rows on each step are odd numbers in Block C and even numbers in Block D. If you're in C/D blocks then I'd recommend you choose these rows every time, as at least the step gives an advantage over the row in front.

    The sound desk is at ground level so C3 and D3 can see over it as they're raised above, but the step/height problem will remain regardless."
