Awful venue. I am incredibly active in the EDM community and have gone to many venues and festivals throughout the years. This one is by far the worst. Went to see Marauda last night and was kicked out by the second act due to headbanging. In the process of them standing over me and physically pushing me out the venue, I grabbed my friend who I had come with where they proceeded to tell her I was “stumbling too much.” I had not drank at this venue at all and had had the last drink for the night maybe an hour prior. Their version of “stumbling” was me standing off to the side in the very back headbanging on my own. I drove nine and a half hours the night before for this show that I also paid $30 to see, just to get kicked out for no reason. Absolutely disgusting behavior. I have never experienced this in any other venue and it’s disheartening to see many other reviews with similar sentiments. In addition to this, Ybor is a notorious unsafe area in Tampa. If I truly was stumbling too much, the right choice would’ve been to give me water and ensure I was okay before sending me off. Something I’ve seen echoed at many other EDM events where harm reduction and safety are priorities. If it were possible to give the Ritz Ybor a zero star review, I would not even have thought twice about doing so.

Can you tell me what dose the meet and greet tickets consist of for the bone thugs n harmony concert? Do you have to arrive early? And where will we be seated when the show starts? A little more information would be appreciated. Thank you.

Great place! Security is on top of it! We had an incident where someone couldn’t take no for an answer, and the security was quick to remove him. Very thankful for the security at that time. Should be a little bit more focused on the crowds.. we saw some things that should have been stopped earlier. Pretty good speakers and good location. Drinks were average for the area, no complaints. Looking forward to future visits and shows! Thank you for keeping the place clean and safe for all of us!

If it's a free show then you need to go on the Facebook event page and select "Going" and then tah your name on the page in a post. You usually don't have to do that if you're female. If there are tickets, the link is usually in the event description in the page.
