Much better as this venue than when it was the Electric Factory. They don't seem to overbook shows like the old venue did as well as it seems to be more coordinated. Watching concerts from this venue is way more enjoyable now

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

what is the difference between zone seating and general admission?

Beatriz Gonzalez | Apr 27, 2022
Luis Solis | Apr 27, 2022

General Admission is the floor in front of the stage. Zone seating is the seating up stairs to avoid being in the pit. You pay to gain access to the seating upstairs and have easier access to the bar. Mind you it does tend to be crowded and your seat can/will be taken if you are rolling solo.

Does it matter what kind of tickets we purchase? Since there are no seats?

Beatriz Gonzalez | Apr 27, 2022
Andrew Phelps | Apr 27, 2022

There are seats up on the balcony but I think they’re first-come-first-serve.

Did anyone find a Fitbit on Saturday night at the Killswitch Engage concert? Not sure if anyone is honest enough to turn it in but I literally just bought it.

Linda M | Mar 28, 2022
Luis Solis | Mar 28, 2022

You answered your own question there. If you haven't called the venue to see if staff found it before an attendee has then it's long gone in someone else's hands. Hope you had it insured.

My ticket says general admission and has a seat location. Are there seats in the general admission area or not? Want to bring a friend and not sure if we can be together.

Kent Magyar | Feb 26, 2022
Jake B. | Feb 26, 2022

I work there many times. GA tickets means that you can stand anywhere on the first floor. To drink liquor or go to the second floor or certain designated areas, you must be 21 years of age (need proof of age.) Each person must have a ticket for admission.

Are covid shots required to get into a show? I assume masks will be necessary?

Sue Goshow | Dec 28, 2021
Christopher Beck | Dec 28, 2021

Website should have the info but the last show I went to both vaccine and masks were required.
