Seattle Tickets Finder

KeyArena at Seattle Center is located north of downtown Seattle at the Seattle Center. It is the home to the Seattle Sonics and also hosts other large concerts or events. It holds 16,000+ people so it only sells out for really big concerts. Therefore the first place you should search for tickets is at the box office or TickeMaster (since they often have the cheapest tickets). If they don’t have the seats you were hoping for here are links to my favorite aftermarket ticket sources. These guys seem to be the most reliable vendors of aftermarket tickets and usually have great seats available to any event no matter how popular:

We Have Seats — I like them because they have the lowest markup on seats usually
StubHub is a great place to shop as well and they often have seats no one else can get. Plus they let you sell tickets on their system.
TicketsNow is always a good place to check before buying too and they have a solid booking technology.

Opened in 1962 as the Seattle Center Coliseum, the rebuild began on June 16, 1994 before the building reopened on October 26, 1995. During the rebuild, the building’s original roofline was used as a guide and some of the original concrete for the main supports still exists but most everything about the arena was brand new. The court which was originally at street level is now 35 feet below to allow more seating. After the rebuild, the Coliseum was renamed KeyArena, as Key Bank purchased the naming rights. The first regular season game that the Seattle SuperSonics played in KeyArena at Seattle Center took place on November 4, 1995, against the Los Angeles Lakers.
