San Diego Event Tickets

Petco Park lists 39,860 seats and Snapdragon Stadium has a capacity of 35,000, while the San Diego Civic Theatre has 2,967, Jacobs Music Center 1,823, and Balboa Theatre 1,339. Jacobs Music Center also has a choral terrace behind the orchestra that can be used for chorus performances or audience seating.

Pechanga Arena changes size by event: 12,920 for hockey, 14,500 for basketball, and 16,100 for boxing. Viejas Arena has bench seats in rows 30 through 35, with other rows using stadium seats.

The Rady Shell and Humphreys Concerts by the Bay are outdoor venues on San Diego Bay. The Rady Shell uses temporary seating for 2,000 to 10,000 people, so the setup depends on the concert. Humphreys has 1,400 seats and bans bags over 12 x 12 x 6 inches and all backpacks.

Humphreys uses reserved seats for regular concerts, but its general admission standing-only shows have no chairs. Check which layout applies to your date.

San Diego's calendar mixes several seasons. Padres home games at Petco Park, SDSU football and San Diego FC and Wave FC matches at Snapdragon Stadium, and San Diego Gulls hockey at Pechanga Arena all run on their own schedules. Open the team page for the current home dates before planning a trip.

Outdoor music is seasonal. Humphreys Concerts by the Bay generally runs from April through October, and the San Diego Symphony performs at both The Rady Shell and Jacobs Music Center. The Holiday Bowl has been held at Snapdragon Stadium since 2024.

Pechanga Arena sits on the Sports Arena site covered by the Midway Rising plan. The city's redevelopment proposal includes replacing the existing arena with a new entertainment arena. That proposal is not a notice that Pechanga Arena has closed. No fees for buyers.

Petco Park is served by all three San Diego Trolley lines. The 12th & Imperial and Gaslamp Quarter stations are one block away and Park & Market is .2 miles away. Take the Green Line to Gaslamp Quarter, or the Blue or Orange Line to 12th & Imperial or Park & Market. MTS says trolleys run every 15 minutes or better before games.

Take the Green Line to Stadium Station for Snapdragon Stadium. MTS lists connections from the Blue Line at Old Town and the Orange Line at Grossmont. The Rady Shell is on the Green Line at the Convention Center station, and the San Diego Civic Theatre is near Civic Center station.

Humphreys is on Shelter Island. The venue's directions use Interstate 5 to Rosecrans Street and then Shelter Island Drive, with on-site parking between the Half Moon Inn and the restaurant and public lots nearby. Doors open one hour before show time and there is no re-entry.

Viejas Arena is on the San Diego State campus, and Pechanga Arena and SOMA are both on Sports Arena Blvd. The Observatory North Park has a parking structure across the street on 29th St.
