One of my favorite venues in Phoenix. I've seen many shows there and it was a pleasant experience each time. The shows feel intimate yet spacious. You can get close up to the performer or have seat on the bleachers in the back. Where ever you're standing, you get a great view. The bar inside the showroom has plenty of drink options. I tend to get the weekly special because it's always different and very unique. The restaurant and outdoor patio have alot to offer as well. I highly recommend this place for hanging out, live music, or getting a bite to eat

Questions & Answers

is there seating for concerts

Stewart Toth | Oct 19, 2018
Adam Miszuk (VDVW) | Oct 19, 2018

The ballroom is designed for GA shows. It is primarily standing room toward the stage with bleacher seating in the back. Some shows are seated, meaning they will create rows of folding chairs or add an assortment of low and high top tables with chairs. Pay attention when you buy your ticket. The seating situation will be listed on the website.

Aaron Piekarz | Oct 19, 2018

Got there a little after 7. Front row was generally taken. Decided to sit in the bleacher seats in the back, rather than stand. It did get crowded pretty quick, but did not have to worry as the seats I got were great for viewing. Great atmosphere all around.

Nolo | Oct 19, 2019
James Bungard | Oct 19, 2019

No. They are strict in checking ages. If you are ages 16 to 20, you have to enter and exit from the back of the building and are limited to a standing room only area to the west side of the stage. A security guard ensures none of the 16-20 year olds go into the 21 and over area throughout the evening.

Hello, I was wondering if I bought a VIP ticket for my daughter would I have to get one too? Because I don't really want to meet the singer but I can't let my kid in by herself

Carrie Henry | Oct 19, 2019
Rick Maffei | Oct 19, 2019

What are you purchasing a ticket for? Which event? Odds are you will get a better response by going to the Facebook page associated with the event (more than likely has one) and asking in the discussion. Otherwise, assuming age restrictions don't apply, you can more than likely purchase a GA ticket to enter the venue with your kid, but will not be allowed in the VIP areas.

I'm not sure. I don't see why you couldn't but I think it's best to call that place to make sure. If nobody answers then I would first go without flow art and ask an employee while you're there.

Buff Pablo | Oct 19, 2018

As others have said, both...but, I believe junk fees are less buying at the box office. If you happen to be in the area days/weeks before the show, stop by BO to pick up tix (prices go up closer to show time). Also, BO is no longer @ CB... It is @ The Van Buren (across the street & 2 blocks down; walking distance)
