Always a good event center. Area of town is a little sketchy, (getting better all the time) and the way to get there is sort of convoluted now due to construction. But the event staff are fantastic, and the building is always clean and well kept.

Questions & Answers

How old do you have to be?

Hollie Hailstone | Sep 18, 2019
Jason Heppler | Sep 18, 2019

All ages allowed in the venue. Under 10 must have hearing protection, although I'd recommend ear plugs for all ages to be safe.

Is papa roach an all ages show?

Tiffany metcalf | Sep 18, 2019
Craig Adams | Sep 18, 2019

The venue is set to handle all ages... the bar area is upstairs, and in accordance to Utah liquor laws, nothing goes up and nothing goes down... you have a water bottle... consume it before going from or to the bar area.

GA tickets and no seating for concert? Then why purchase an expensive ticket? What am I missing regarding seating? Ty

The majority of our shows will be GA standing room only, on both floors. If you prefer to be seated we have vip tables available for upgrade at https://theunioneventcenter.com/premium-tables. The tables are upstairs and is 21+ only. We also provide ADA seating on the main floor, reserved of course for ADA access.

How muchO is on the street parking?

Rhonda Hubbs | Dec 21, 2021

Parking around the neighborhood is free but it is a scary area by the train tracks. Safe enough inside. I wouldn't go alone.

Does this venue require masks?

Charis Mariger | Oct 22, 2021
Tom | Oct 22, 2021

When I was there for Sylvan Esso back in mid-September, they didn't say anything about masks until we got to the doors, where we learned they were required. They had some there, but I would recommend bringing one.

What Trax stop do you get off from for this venue?

Kelly Christensen | Sep 17, 2020
Mike D | Sep 17, 2020

North Temple off the Front Runner Arena Station off Trax about 2 blocks away!

Whhat about safe parking?

Richard Weber | Sep 17, 2020
JonesyJulien | Sep 17, 2020

Mm.... disagree. There's not much parking aside from the street and it's in a place where the Frontrunner lets off. "Safe" is an illusion in Salt Lake. It depends of you're there in the day time, when there's light, or night, with no streetlights along that whole road. So. Safe? Up to you to ascertain.

Where do people wait in line before the concert starts?

Jessica Donaldson | Sep 18, 2019
onyumm | Sep 18, 2019

Before the doors are open, people will usually line up in front of the gates. The length of the line varies, but it usually extends down the block. People will be allowed to enter the gates at the designated "doors open" time. That's when they do Will Call and ticket scanning.

Do you need id to get in the this venue?

Heather Lyman | Sep 18, 2019

Depends on what event you're going to.

Just wondering if chairs are available during concerts? I have a friend that has RA and can't stand the whole time and I just had knee surgery a few months ago and still healing. Is it possible to get a couple of chairs?

Melody Kester | Sep 18, 2019
Josh Hutchings | Sep 18, 2019

They do have some seating, but it might be hard pressed to say it'd be guaranteed. It's also not the best situated. A good thing to know is that establishments rarely respond to these Google Questions. I'd suggest trying them by phone. Or, go directly to staff the day of the show when you arrive. Heck, maybe even just rent a wheelchair for the show. You are guaranteed to be let in, probably skip a line or two, and be offered a good place to post up. Good luck!

Whats the capacity

H M | Sep 18, 2019
Craig Adams | Sep 18, 2019

I work the venue occasionally and I'm guessing since there are few places to sit. Upstairs is the bar and has a great view of the stage but you are free to go anywhere but drinks do not go up or down levels. Estimated 4500 capacity.

You park along the road and there is a parking lot across the rail tracks. Short walks

For the Papa Roach concert coming up in August what is the difference between the general admission tickets that are $76-$99 compared to the Floor GA that are $90-$104? It looks like standing room only, so why the difference in price?

Kassy Sherman | Sep 18, 2019
Mike B | Sep 18, 2019

There is an upper balcony and the normal floor. Most of the shows I've been to at this venue are for smaller bands where they make the upper section 21+. Since these guys are a more popular band I'm guessing the cheaper tickets would be for the balcony.

What's the policy with smoking / vaping am i allowed to bring a lighter and a pack of cigarettes?

jayscrazzy obsessions | Sep 18, 2019
Neena Plant | Sep 18, 2019

The Utah indoor clean air act would prevent use of either inside the venue. You'd have to check with the venue whether you're permitted to have those items on your person while on the premises.

Coming to Lp tonight. Do they sell water bottles? Can you bring an empty water bottle?

Mila Brown | Sep 18, 2019
Lonny Ward | Sep 18, 2019

Yes they have water and the events that I have been to you can take your own water bottle also.

Philip McArthur | Sep 18, 2019

"Unless we specifically say otherwise on the event information page, your children will need their own ticket, even if they'll be sitting on your knee." (This is not directly from Union event center, though I'm sure it would be the normal point of view of most arenas)

How much is parking Is there food there

Linda Dunlop | Sep 18, 2019
Neena Plant | Sep 18, 2019

There's not a dedicated parking lot, you'll need to find on-street parking. There's some food though we didn't purchase any so can't address the prices or quality. They do have alcoholic beverages in the upper area, which is restricted to 21+.

Weather do you park for events?
