Seating Information
SOMA is a general-admission, standing-room venue with two configurations: the Mainstage (up to 2,700 capacity) and the Sidestage (up to 500 capacity). There are no traditional fixed seats ? the venue is built for an energetic, immersive concert experience.
Seating Sections
- Mainstage ? Main Floor (GA Standing): Open floor directly in front of the stage. Best for fans who want to be close to the action. Can be very packed near the front at sold-out shows.
- Mainstage ? Raised Back Area: The back of the room is elevated for better sightlines. Ideal for fans who want a clear view without standing in the crowd.
- VIP Viewing Platforms: Two raised VIP platforms on the sides of the Mainstage offer excellent elevated views. Requires a VIP ticket upgrade.
- Sidestage: A more intimate room (~500 capacity) used for smaller shows. Great sightlines throughout and a more up-close atmosphere.
Best Sections
We recommend the raised back area for the clearest sightlines or center floor mid-distance from the stage for the best combination of sound
Sex Pistols San Diego Concert reviews
Spent a lot of money for a low budget show
For $200 a ticket, I was expecting an elaborate production, but Sex Pistols sounded and looked amazing. The stage set up, however, was very bland and basic. Besides Sex Pistols, the only visually stimulating thing to see was the large screen used for videos and such. I expected to see decorative sets, elaborate costumes, and effects for the money I spent on the tickets. The dancers of Sex Pistols were so disappointing! Usually surrounded by beautiful and talented dancers, she is. None of them looked qualified to be dancing on stage with a legend. I was so confused by what the show lacked! No offense to those dancers.
