Important note: As of this article’s update, there was no public transportation available to return to the center after shows ending later than 10:30 PM. Plan accordingly and check Bergamo’s official public transport website. It’s possible that in the future, transportation serving the area may be available on event days.

When we attended Sam Fender’s show at ChorusLife Arena in March 2025, the concert ended after 11 PM, and we walked from the arena to our hotel near the station. Other people were also walking in the same direction, and it felt quite safe.

ChorusLife Arena Seating Sections

Standing Area: Small with excellent visibility. The stage is large, providing an extensive area for fans who prefer to be in the front rows.

Lower & Upper Tribune: Numbered seating with excellent visibility and proximity to the stage. The height difference between stand levels ensures that people don’t block each other’s view. The first row of stands is typically unused on concert days because the seats are at the same height as the barrier dividing the standing area.

Mezzanine: The area with bars and restrooms, located between the lower and upper stands. It has some spaces for those who want to watch shows standing up and for people with reduced mobility who use wheelchairs. The division is made with glass, offering safety and visibility.

Accessibility at ChorusLife Arena for People with Disabilities

ChorusLife Arena has reserved spaces for people with disabilities, including those who need continuous assistance and have mobility restrictions, as well as for their companions.

However, these spaces are limited and positioned in reserved areas. Send an email to the arena in advance to request support.

Sound Quality and Visibility

The acoustics are excellent, and the best seats are in the stands facing the stage. However, the sides also offer good sound quality.

We attended Sam Fender’s show, seated in the side stands, and it was an excellent experience.
