Came here to see Common Kings perform with Slightly Stoopid, Pepper, and Fortunate Youth. It was a dope concert and a great venue overall. We Uber’d to the venue, but there is a parking structure nearby. For that event is was $30 flat rate for parking. The event started at 6pm, but around 5pm there was already a line forming for the parking lot. The venue was super clean including their bathrooms! The general seating area is beautiful. If you don’t want to sit in the general area/pit, there is a grass section where you can lay a blanket and it’s still a great view of the stage. They have a list right at the entrance of what you cannot bring into the venue so I’d probably check their website to be proactive. They are also a cashless theater, so debit/credit cards and digital payment methods are fine. They also offer cash to debit card exchange. I’d definitely come back here for another event.

Nice small venue. Pay for the closer parking so worth it. Sound is good. All Seats are Close to artist. Bring a cushion seating is a little hard. Stairs have no rails so be careful coming down. Use bathroom up at top less crowded.

Went to see Norah Jones here. It's a relatively small theater with folding chairs for the nearest sections and concrete benches for those farther away. They have a dedicated ADA liaison to help folks get to ADA seating and help during the performances. I was disappointed that the food court, including the water bottle filling stations, we're all in an area accessed only by stairs. Some remodeling to make this area accessible would be nice.

Indigo Girls were a surprise opening act for Brandi Carlile. Wow! The Greek is always a delightful experience. Sat on the lawn this time. It's REALLY steep. Good for seeing over heads, not so great if you aren't super steady on your feet.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

No, but you can bring your own small and collapsible stadium chairs. We purchased ours from Target for around $30 each. There are comparable stadium chairs on Amazon as well. I recommend bringing a blanket as well. Have fun!

Where to park if I drive in, Greek Theatre venue..

Rjc Rjc | Aug 24, 2019
Frank D97E | Aug 24, 2019

As you drive past the Greek, west to east there is a parking complex that will cost a few but save you a hassle. About 3-5 min walk after that. Any other options are far too complex.

can i bring a sign

Emily Ford | Aug 24, 2018
Brandi Cayocca | Aug 24, 2018

The sign can only be 8 x 11. The size of a piece of paper. So if you come with others and you each have 1 to 2 pieces you'll have a good sign. But 1 big sign can block others veiw of the show, and you cannot have it on a stick of any kind.. FYI i am the security guard at the gates.😁

Is it General Admission or are the seats assigned?

Rachel Hendricks | Aug 24, 2018

Depends entirely on the show. The lawn is always GA. The pit is sometimes open GA, other times there will be chairs and assigned seating. The concrete seats can either be GA seating or assigned.
