OVO Hydro guide: levels, trains and premium seats
Seating plan and stands
The arena is laid out in levels around the floor:
- Arena floor: standing or seated depending on the show. The venue recommends that children under 14 do not go in the standing area.
- Level 0 (blocks 050-058): ground-level seats in rows A to J, with at most 18 steps to the back row.
- Level 2 front (blocks 201-218): rows A to G. Blocks 201-206 and 213-218 have at most 18 stairs, and lifts and escalators serve the Level 2 concourse.
- Level 2 rear (blocks 221-238): rows H to V, reached by 19 to 49 steps.
- Level 3 (blocks 324-335): the upper tier, rows W to JJ, reached by 60 to 96 steps. The venue's lifts serve only the concourses of the first two floors.
Resale listings often use these names (Level 2 Front, Level 2 Rear, Level 3, Standing, Retractable Seating), and the block number gives the level away: 050-058 for Level 0, 201-238 for Level 2 and 324-335 for Level 3. Other listings use generic Lower, Middle and Upper Tier labels, so check the block before you pay. Our OVO Hydro seating plan sets the levels out in full.
Accessible seating
Most seats on Levels 2 and 3 can only be reached by stairs, so anyone with mobility difficulties should book the dedicated accessible areas. These are viewing platforms for wheelchair users, ambulant customers and companions on the ground floor, reached by a ramp, and on Level 2, reached by lift, close to concourse exits and accessible toilets. Blocks 001-012 have no stairs, and the building has East and West accessible entrances.
Getting there
The address is Exhibition Way, Glasgow G3 8YW. The easiest route is the train to Exhibition Centre, the SEC's own station: six trains an hour leave Glasgow Central from Platform 17 on the low level for a three-minute ride, and a lift and a covered walkway bring you up to the campus. St Enoch on the Glasgow Subway is a few minutes' walk from Glasgow Central.
Argyle Street station has no lift, so the venue advises step-free travellers to start from Glasgow Central. Drivers can use the 24-hour multi-storey car park on the campus, and there is a free drop-off and pick-up area off Stobcross Road, at the rear (west) entrance of the SEC Centre.
The SEC venues are cashless: contactless or card only at the box office, food and drink outlets, merchandise points and the cloakroom. Handbags and small carrier bags are fine, but suitcases, backpacks and large handbags (A3, 30 x 42 cm, and above) are refused, and the paid cloakroom is in the SEC Centre. If you use the smoking shelters, your ticket is scanned again on the way back in. Event timings are usually confirmed only 2-3 days before, and the venue does not recommend under-5s at concerts not aimed at children.
Hospitality
The Hydro's premium side is the Hydro Club and its hospitality suites, with premium seating sold as The Nest and The Terrace. Resale listings labelled Terrace carry the name of that premium area, so read the listing details to see what the seat includes.
Some events add their own upgrades: for WWE Raw, VIP packages are sold alongside standard tickets, and Venue Premium starts at £291.50.
Frequently asked questions
What concerts are happening at OVO in 2026?
For the rest of 2026, the line-up includes Noah Kahan on 6 November (the second of two nights, after 5 November) and Stevie Wonder on 11 November, then The Script, Courteeners, Phoebe Bridgers, Placebo and Blossoms through late November and early December, with Kasabian on 13 December and Morrissey on 16 December. Kevin Bridges' comedy run, which opened on 27 October, continues with four more nights from 15 to 26 November, after nights on 3 and 4 November.
What are the best seats at OVO Hydro?
It depends on what matters to you. Level 0 (blocks 050-058) and most of the front of Level 2 (blocks 201-218, rows A to G) are reached with at most 18 steps. Level 3, the upper tier, is 60 to 96 steps up, and the standing floor is not recommended for under-14s. Wheelchair users and anyone avoiding stairs should book the accessible platforms.
How do I get OVO Hydro presale tickets?
Presales depend on the event. For WWE Raw, fans who registered at wwe.com/road-to-rumble-2027 got a presale from 10am on 23 September 2026, before the general sale opened through Ticketmaster UK at 10am on 25 September. Ticketmaster is the venue's official ticketing partner, so check each event's official listing for its presale rules and dates.
How do I get to the OVO Hydro by train?
Take a train from Glasgow Central, Platform 17 on the low level, to Exhibition Centre, the SEC's own station: there are six an hour and the ride takes three minutes, with a lift and a covered walkway up to the campus. Argyle Street station has no lift, so step-free travellers should start from Glasgow Central.
Can I take a bag into the OVO Hydro?
Handbags and small carrier bags are allowed. Suitcases, backpacks and large handbags, A3 (30 x 42 cm) and above, are not, and the paid cloakroom is in the SEC Centre. The venue is cashless, taking contactless or card only, and your phone is your ticket: screenshots are not accepted at the doors.
