Governors Island Seat Map & Sections

Unlike traditional theaters, Governors Island offers a variety of seating arrangements that can change based on the event. Most concerts and performances feature a general admission lawn, where you’re free to choose your spot on a first-come, first-served basis. For larger events, Governors Island often provides reserved seating sections near the stage, as well as VIP areas with premium amenities.

The general admission area is perfect for those who enjoy a relaxed atmosphere. Bring a blanket or low lawn chair and settle in with friends while enjoying panoramic skyline and waterfront views. Reserved seating sections, when available, offer closer proximity to the stage with standard folding chairs provided for your comfort. VIP ticket holders enjoy the best seats at Governors Island, typically located front and center, and may have access to exclusive lounges, expedited entry, and premium food and beverage options.

Venue Capacity and Ambiance

Capacity at Governors Island events can range from a few hundred to over 5,000 attendees, depending on the performance and stage setup. The open-air ambiance provides a laid-back, festival-like feel, enhanced by the island’s lush greenery and breathtaking views of the New York City skyline and Statue of Liberty. It’s the perfect setting for both intimate performances and large-scale festivals.

Accessibility and Parking

Governors Island is committed to accessibility. Pathways and event spaces are wheelchair accessible, and accessible restrooms are available on-site. However, please note that private vehicles are not permitted on the island.
