American Airlines Center names its levels Plaza, Suite and Terrace rather than by number, and gates its premium tier behind a Platinum Premier entrance on the northeast side open only to suite and platinum holders. Platinum Premier includes parking, in-seat wait service and a $30 per-ticket credit, on the same level as five bars and restaurants. For hockey the rink sits lower than the basketball floor, so the Plaza level looks down into the boards.
Tips & Fan Reports
First couple rows of the terrace level in corner sections 303-305 and 331-333 are the best value in the building. Specifically the rows that start with double letters like AA, BB. As close as you can get in the terrace.
The Platinum level carries five bars and restaurants: The Wine Press, The Zone, The Platinum Club, El Taco Tex and DBQ Barbecue.
Platinum Premier includes parking, in-seat wait service and a $30 per-ticket food and beverage credit, which closes much of the gap to a cheaper seat plus costs.
Admiral Theater Boxes and the Platinum Premier Plus plan both cover Stars AND Mavericks games — 86 games on the full plan, plus concerts.
The Platinum Premier entrance is on the northeast side of the building and admits only suite and platinum ticket holders — everyone else uses the general gates.

These figures are estimates. Most venues no longer publish the numbers behind them — concession and ticket pricing moved to dynamic marketplaces — so we hold them as estimates rather than dating them as verified.
