standing area

No seats here

A standing area is a section of a venue where spectators stand rather than sit, typically at concerts, sporting events, or theaters.

Standing areas are often cheaper than seated sections and closer to the stage or field: We got tickets for the standing area right by the barrier.

Also called standing room.
