The venue was great ! The only thing that spoiled the experience for me was the ridiculous moshing some were doing, they were knocking other people around and making it unpleasant to be there. Other than that the staff were great, as was the building.

Bands love coming here because they sell out and get up close with fans. No pyro, but that won't stop the fun. Was impressed with the helpful and friendly staff, giving out cups of water nonstop in-between catching crowd surfers. World class venue!

Good venue. Would be nice if that accepted tax exemptions. Can be difficult to get a good view both on main floor and second floor without a reserved seat.

Not very spread out it was disappointing this time around. They overbooked a show most people all hanging by the stairs to see a show its not fair. Balcony seats are crazy squeezed its not much of an upgrade.

Abdul Akibu | Oct 7, 2018
Mel | Oct 7, 2018

For a sold out show You get there as soon as doors open and go to the balcony. They will have an attendant there. Ive seen the price range from $15-$35. You can’t usually pre purchase these. With the tables those are vip tables and come at a premium. You contact their vip seating hotline before the show.

I bought additional tickets for the Vertigo Lounge. How early can we get there? Will this be beneficial to get into the venue for a Standing Only concert? Do I still need to purchase a Fast Pass ticket to get in earlier?

Jennifer Ayers-Barnard, PhD | Sep 6, 2022
Isaac Natter | Sep 22, 2022

Yes, you need to purchase a fast pass to skip the line. The Vertigo Lounge pass only grants you access to the Vertigo Lounge.

Tawny Greene | Oct 6, 2021

It's standing room only so I don't know how much your kids would see. I probably wouldn't take my kids for fear of losing them in the crowd.

Mike Poggi | Oct 7, 2018
Kelsey Wheeler | Oct 7, 2018

When I went vip just got in line 20 mins earlier and got to go upstairs which I'd rather not be in a seat. The band would have that info probably on the website if they were doing signings or on their social media accounts.
