The Best Seats for Golden State Warriors at Chase Center

Chase Center is an indoor arena in the Mission Bay neighborhood of San Francisco, California. It’s mainly known as the home of the Golden State Warriors NBA basketball team, but also hosts other basketball games, concerts, and entertainment events.

The Warriors take their name from the nickname for California, the Golden State. They’ve held various NBA records, including the best regular season, most wins in a season, and best postseason run.

Golden State Warriors fans are a dynamic community, known as the “Dub Nation” or the “Dubs”. The nickname “Dubs” comes from shortening “Warriors” to “Ws” and then “Ws” to “Dubs”.

Watching a Warriors game at Chase Center is a great way to spend an evening for San Francisco locals and visitors to California. Your seat choice could have a big impact on your experience, depending on the seat views and amenities included. 

Our guide to Chase Center will help you choose the best NBA tickets to suit your budget, whether you’re looking for affordable Warriors seats or splashing out on VIP floor seats.

Chase Center is an indoor arena in the Mission Bay neighborhood of San Francisco, California. It’s home of the Golden State Warriors of the National Basketball Association (NBA), who previously called Oakland Arena home between 1971 and 2019.

The arena lies around 1 mile from Oracle Park, home of the San Francisco Giants MLB team, and 40 miles from Levi’s Stadium, home venue of the San Francisco 49ers NFL team.

Plans for the arena were announced in 2012, and JPMorgan Chase purchased the arena’s naming rights in January 2016. After several delays, work began on Chase Center in January 2017, and the arena opened on September 6, 2019. The first event in the new venue was a concert featuring Metallica and the San Francisco Symphony.

The Warriors played their first preseason game at Chase Center against the Los Angeles Lakers on October 5, 2019. Three weeks later, the first regular season game at Chase Center took place between the Warriors and the Los Angeles Clippers on October 24, 2019.

Chase Center has a maximum seating capacity of 18,064 for Golden State Warriors games. The arena also hosts home games for the WNBA’s Golden State Valkyries, and the University of San Francisco men’s and women’s basketball teams occasionally play games there. 

The arena hosted the NBA All-Star Game in February 2025, and also hosts professional wrestling, boxing, and esports events. It’s a popular venue for live music and entertainment events, hosting concerts by artists including Elton John, Nicki Minaj, and Ariana Grande.

Looking toward the court from the seats, the highest seat number is toward the left of the rows. 

Standard Seating at Chase Center

Standard seats are available on the Upper and Lower levels of Chase Center’s interactive seating chart

Sideline sections are reserved for premium club seating, so standard seating is only available in corner and baseline sections of Chase Center’s lower bowl. 

The figures shown below are an indication of the pricing available on Ticketmaster. Standard seating for Warriors games may also be available to purchase from secondary market sites, including StubHub

Lower Level Corner

View of the basketball court from section 120 at Chase Center, San Francisco.
Image credit: Chefcurry, A View from my Seat.

With premium seats taking up the Lower Level side sections, 100 Level corner sections offer some of the most affordable seats on Chase Center’s lower bowl. The view here will also be better than from baseline sections. 

The Golden State Warriors enter the court through the tunnel between sections 123 and 124, and the visiting team emerges through the tunnel at sections 119 and 120.

The size of Lower Level Corner sections varies, and the front rows of sections 108 and 123 are closest to the court. However, you’ll still be pretty far from the court, so corner seats aren’t ideal if getting close to the court is a priority. 

Corner sections 107, 112, 119, and 124 are smaller sections, so access to your seats will be easier. 

The entry portal is at the top of the section, so sitting further back will give you a shorter walk to the concourse. 

Lower Level Corner tickets start at around $225-300 depending on location, but they may be more expensive in the front rows. 

Lower Level End

Sections 109-110 and 121-122 are the best place to find cheap Warriors tickets on the Lower Level of Chase Center. 

These baseline sections are the largest sections at Chase Center, with 27 rows of seats. Row 1 is closest to the court but has 7 rows of premium Courtside seating in front of it. 

The view from here isn’t the best on the lower level, as the basket will partly obstruct your view. However, you’ll be pretty close to the court, and sitting closer to the arena’s corners will reduce the obstruction.

Sitting at the top of the section will give easier access to the concessions and restrooms, and the elevated position will provide clearer views of the court.

Expect to pay prices starting at $300 for seats at the front of the section or $200 further back.

Upper Level Side

View of the basketball court from section 207 at Chase Center, San Francisco.
Image credit: Irl13s, A View from my Seat.

Lower Level sideline sections are all taken up by premium club seating. So, if you want affordable sideline seats for a Warriors game, Upper Level Side sections are your best option.

200 Level side sections offer excellent views from the arena’s top deck, especially if you sit at the front. Sitting in Upper Level Side sections will also give you a head-on view of replays and stats on the giant video board. 

Each Upper Level Side section has 16 rows of seating. The front row is row 6, as the Theater Boxes take up the space where rows 1-5 would be. The entry portal is around row 8, so sitting in rows 6-8 will give you easy access to the concourse for concessions and restrooms.

The upper deck of Chase Center slopes steeply, so avoid high rows if you’re uncomfortable walking up and down steep steps. 

These sections are the most expensive standard seats on the Upper Level. Expect to pay prices starting around $130-150 at the front of the section or $120 further back.

Upper Level Corner 

View of the basketball court from section 216 at Chase Center, San Francisco.
Image credit: Anonymous user, A View from my Seat.

Corner sections offer the best balance of value and view, especially if you can find tickets in one of the front rows. 

Sections that look down the court, like sections 210 and 216, will give you a good view of the developing game. The viewing angle will be more comfortable from here than from corner section seats looking across the court. 

These sections have between 15 and 21 rows of seating, and the entry portal is near the middle rows. Choosing seats in the first 8 rows will give you a good view without the need to climb steep stairs to your seat. 

Expect to pay prices starting from $130 for seats at the front of 200 Level Corner sections. Seats at the back may start at just $100.

Upper Level End 

View of the basketball court from section 213 at Chase Center, San Francisco.
Image credit: Mkeehan, A View from my Seat.

You’ll generally find the cheapest seats for a Warriors game in sections 211-215 of the Upper Level at Chase Center.

Each section has 21 rows of seating with an entry portal around the middle rows.

Rows at the front of the section will give you the best views, but remember that the basket may partly limit your view. This obstruction will be most noticeable in section 213 which is directly behind the basket.

Seats in rows 7-11 are closer to the portal, but the views aren’t as good from here. Seats in rows 12+ will involve a longer walk up steep stairs. 

These sections have the cheapest Warriors seats at Chase Center, starting at around $90-100.

The Bridge

The Bridge is tucked away below the Modelo Cantina at the north end of Chase Center’s 200 Level.

This location behind the basket doesn’t offer the best views at Chase Center, but the area is popular for its comfortable seats and socializing opportunities.

The Bridge has a row of reserved seating at tables in front of an unreserved Standing Room area. The standing area is unticketed, and spaces are available on a first-come-first-served basis. You may lose your standing spot if you go to the concessions or restroom. 

Seat prices here could start at around $150.

Standing Room Only

Standing Room Only tickets are available for areas at the back of selected 100 and 200 Level sections. 

These tickets are the cheapest Warriors tickets, starting at around $110 on the 100 Level and $64 on the $200 Level. However, they don’t include access to seats, and standing spaces can’t be reserved.

Accessible Seating

ADA-accessible seating at Chase Center is available on all arena levels and at all price levels. Accessible seats and companion seating can be purchased online. 

All Chase Center entrances are wheelchair accessible and have a dedicated security lane where guests can enter with one companion. 

All public restrooms at Chase Center are ADA accessible for guests with disabilities.

11 elevators and 19 escalators connect the levels of Chase Center, allowing access from the entrances up to the 200 Level. 8 stairwells are also available for guests who wish to take the stairs.

Restricted View Seating

The basket may obstruct views from seats along the baseline on both levels of Chase Center. This obstruction will be more obvious in seats close to the front of the lower level section and in the center of the baseline.

Choosing seats further back and closer to the arena’s corners will minimize the impact on your seat view.

Which Are The Best Value Seats At Chase Center?

Standard seating at Chase Center offers excellent options for watching a Golden State Warriors game at an affordable price.

Here’s our choice of the best value seats for a Warriors game.

Best Value for Cheapest Price

Standing Room tickets are the cheapest option for watching a Warriors game at Chase Center, with prices starting at around $110 in the lower bowl and $64 on the top deck. However, these tickets don’t include seat access.

If you’d prefer to be seated for the game, the cheapest Warrior seats are in the 200 Level end sections. Seats here start at $90-100, but it’s worth paying a little extra for the better view from the front rows.

Best Value to Get Close to the Action

100 Level sections along the sideline are reserved for premium seats, and the corner sections are set back from the court. This means 100 Level End sections offer your best chance of getting close to the action at an affordable price.

Expect to pay prices starting at $300 for seats directly behind the premium Riser seats. However, you’ll get a better view and cheaper ticket prices further back from the court, where the seats are slightly elevated.

Best Value for a Great View

Upper Level Side sections provide an unobstructed view of the entire court. 

Ticket prices start at around $120 for seats in the top rows, but it’s worth paying a little extra to sit in the front rows. Not only will you have a clearer view, but you’ll also avoid walking up steep stairs to your seat.

Best Value for a Fun Atmosphere

If a fun atmosphere is your main priority, the Bridge is a great place to watch the Warriors play. 

These seats don’t offer the best view, but it’s a popular spot for socializing. Expect ticket prices to start at around $150.

Best Value for Visiting Fans

You’ll need to pay premium prices to sit close to the visiting team bench. However, Lower Level Corner sections 119 and 120 are on either side of the visiting team’s tunnel, so you’ll get a great view of your favorite players entering and leaving the court. Tickets here are likely to start at around $300-400.

A cheaper alternative can be found in the front rows of Upper Level section 219, which gives a head-on view of the visitors’ bench. Tickets here could start at around $130-150.
