Always a good time. The show was "Great"..The one down fall is some of the seating...Hard to see the full show with others sitting in front of us....

Had a great time. Only major problem was by the time it was my turn in line to get a drink the consession was sold out of almost everything. Only had 2 tiny bottles of water and alcohol left, no soda or other drink alternative.

Having lived in Portland my entire life, I do love this venue. It is a beautiful, building. The staff is very kind, and professional, and it is always clean. However, it is a shame, that even after Portland has dropped their mask mandates the auditorium continues to enforce masks and proof of vaccine cards. Such a disappointment. Another disappointment is the service fee they charge for tickets, even if you go in person to pick them up.

What time do doors open

A Google User | Aug 20, 2019
Clare Norton | Aug 20, 2019

Typically doors to the house open a half hour prior to show time. Doors to the lobby, typically open 1 hour to 45 minutes prior to show time.

Handicapped parking and seating is needed. How do I find that info and how does that affect ticket pricing?

Gail Carlson | Aug 20, 2018
Michael Lheureux | Aug 20, 2018

The venue does not have it's own parking, so you are at the mercy of available spots at a nearby municipal lot. It tends to be $10 for event parking. Spots are first come first served. Event ticket prices are not changed for handicap requirements, and available seating locations are also first come first served. I would recommend communicating directly with the box office for accommodations.

What is parking like for a weekday concert in summer?

Valene Thacker | Aug 20, 2018
Christyn Waisanen | Aug 20, 2018

There are 2 parking lots the next block over, Pearl St I think. Top of the Hill parking that is cash only and across pearl street they open up a 2nd that accepts cash or credit cards. There are also parking garages within walking distance as well as on street parking. I have been to several summer concerts and shows amd have never had an issue finding something at either of the 1st two lots or within reasonable walking distance. Hope this helps
