Lower tier vs upper tier

Closer to the action
Lower tier

2,040 seats. The Copper Box’s compact bowl means even lower-tier seats give a genuinely close view of the court — best for basketball, netball and combat sports where atmosphere matters.

Full court overview
Upper tier

3,254 seats. Still close by arena standards thanks to the venue’s compact design — a clear, elevated view of the whole court at a lower price point than lower tier.

⚡ Why it feels closer than other London arenas
The Copper Box’s compact, pillar-free bowl design means there’s no genuinely bad seat in the house — even upper tier delivers a clear, close view, which is rare for an arena this size.
