Benefits
Every summer, Pacific Amphitheater at the OC Fair & Event Center becomes one of Orange County's most popular concert destinations. Located in Costa Mesa, Pacific Amphitheatre hosts major touring artists, tribute bands, comedy acts, and special events throughout the OC Fair season.
Its outdoor setting, intimate size, and convenient Orange County location make it a favorite among concert fans. Whether you're attending a sold-out headliner or discovering a new artist, this guide will help you choose the right seats and make the most of your visit.
Pacific Amphitheater offers several seating options that fit different budgets and viewing preferences.
The Orchestra section places you closest to the stage and delivers the most immersive concert experience. These reserved seats offer excellent sightlines and put you right in the middle of the performance's energy.
Many regular concertgoers consider the Mezzanine sections the best overall value at Pacific Amphitheater. Located just behind the Orchestra section, these seats provide elevated views of the stage while remaining close enough to feel connected to the performance.
The Terrace sections sit farther back but still provide solid views thanks to the venue's compact design. These seats are often a great choice for guests looking for a more affordable ticket while still enjoying a comfortable concert experience.
For select events, lawn seating may be available. This is typically the most budget-friendly option and offers a relaxed outdoor concert atmosphere.
One of the biggest perks of attending a concert at Pacific Amphitheater is its location inside the OC Fair & Event Center. Many concert tickets include same-day admission to the OC Fair, allowing guests to enjoy rides, exhibits, shopping, and food before the show.
Admission policies can vary by event, so always review the ticket details before purchasing.
Traffic around the OC Fairgrounds can become extremely busy on concert nights, especially during weekends and popular fair dates. Arriving early gives you time to park, enter the fairgrounds, and enjoy the atmosphere before the performance begins.
Because Pacific Amphitheatre events often coincide with OC Fair attendance, expect larger crowds, longer lines, and additional foot traffic around entrances and parking areas.
Part of the Pacific Amphitheater experience is enjoying the OC Fair itself. From classic fair favorites to creative food vendors and local specialties, many guests make a full evening of their visit by exploring the fairgrounds before the concert.
