floor seating

No chairs needed

Floor seating is seating arranged directly on the ground or floor rather than in elevated chairs or bleachers.

At concerts and sporting events, floor seating typically means the most expensive tickets closest to the stage or playing area: We splurged on floor seating for the Taylor Swift concert.

In restaurants or homes, it describes the practice of sitting on cushions or mats at low tables, common in Japanese and Middle Eastern dining traditions.
