I'd called MSG, a while back, and the person on their info line told me that seat numbers within the same row, run low to high, from left to right, as you face the stage. So, if you're sitting with center stage to your left, then lower numbered seats on your row, are closer, and if center stage is to your right, higher numbered seats on your row, are closer. Again, this is seat numbers within a row, not to be confused with the Section number.

So, for example, in Section 108, higher numbered seats in the same row, are closer to the stage, and in Section A, on the floor, higher numbered seats in a row, are closer to the center. In Section 116, lower numbered seats in the same row, are closer to the stage, and Section C, on the floor, lower numbers seats in a row, are closer to the center.

That's if their info line person got it right. If anyone gets a chance to buy another ticket, you might double-check it with the venue.

Madison Square Garden has an ongoing major renovation, that began a few months ago. They've been doing it in increments, during the off season, to allow it to be usable for events, but they've already done major reno inside the venue. Just in time for our Boys! New seats in the stands, yeay! But I don't know about those folding chairs, for floor seating. (You can find stop-action video of it, online, but I haven't been able to find a tour of the renovated stage and seating area, itself).

I've noticed that older seating charts are configured differently than the one that's displayed for this show and that's now displayed on MSG's website.
