Again, Union Transfer puts on an amazing show of emerging artists and headliners to brag about. Last nights Tones and I concert was fabulous. Tickets can be purchased and added to your mobile phone. Show always starts on time!

Wonderful venue! The only nuisance was getting frisked at the door, but you can't blame them for being thorough. People are crazy, so the security being as good as it was, was a relief. The sound quality in that room is simply amazing. Highly recommended!

My favorite venue in the city. The levels are perfect nearly every show so kudos to the sound guys. Great acoustics in the building too, and many sightlines!

Great place to see a concert. Very good sound system and fairly spacious. So you don't need to be jammed together if you don't feel like being close to the stage. Bars are a big plus and the price for drinks is not outrageous.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

I want to bring my 17 year old son to see The Districts play on 3/12. Is there a section for minors to view the show with their parents?

Maria Leach | Mar 16, 2020
Nicholas Santangelo | Mar 17, 2020

They do have a balcony & upstairs level of you want to stay away from the heat. I'm sure it really depends on if it's a 18+ or 21+ show.

How easy is it to get bleacher seating? Do the bleachers have a good view? Going to a sold out show. Doors at 7 opener at 8. Someone told me there are balcony seats.

tater pez | Feb 15, 2020

jason giuttari | Jan 12, 2020

There is parking at the venue, so you dont " need" to walk around. The area right out front is fine. Actually was rather quiet when I was there and that was Halloween night. I'd say dont venture to to far and your good.

I have ordered four tickets for Corrine Bailey Rae on Wednesday, July 31st. When can expect to receive the tickets?

MaryAnn Edwards | Jan 11, 2020
Lily Korbeil | Jan 12, 2020

That would depend on who you purchased your tickets through. Try looking at your receipt paperwork to see if it has an estimated ticket arrival date or if you need to print them yourself.

Is this venue suitable for children? Is the stage difficult to view for us "height challenged" adults?

Mandie Gibson | Jan 11, 2020
Ryan Porch | Jan 12, 2020

Arguably it's going to be difficult at any concert for height challenged people but this venue does have a balcony and some sections off to the sides and in the back that are raised slightly higher than the pit area.

So one of my favorite artists is holding a concert here, but since this is a bar type place, will I be carded? My friend and I were gonna go only to the concert, not the bar (obviously) but we are minors.

taepitur | Jan 11, 2019
Alex Ferrence | Jan 12, 2019

They have a bar, but they card at the door. Anyone can enter, but if you want to drink you have to show appropriate ID and they will give you a wrist band at the door.

How is parking here? Street or is there a lot?

Melisa LaBadie | Jan 11, 2019
Till Manthey | Jan 12, 2019

Usually by the time people arrive for shows (after 6:30pm) the on street parking is free. We do have our lot directly behind the venue on Nectarine Street, which is $15 for guaranteed parking. That is the only lot/people who are connected and associated with us to pay! There are several lots or entrepreneurial hustlers with official looking vests willing to sell you either free on street spots or illegal tow away zones, or spots in lits for which they may or may not actually work. If you are coming to Union Transfer, either park for free if you can, or in our lot. Thanks and enjoy!
