Mershon Auditorium At Wexner Center For The Arts

Pretty cool place to see a show. This was my first time and I thought everything was run very well. The seats were comfy and the staff did a great job. My only concern was the acoustics as we were up in the top balcony, I thought that perhaps we would have heard the show a little more clearly on the lower floor.

IL DIVO concert tonight was absolutely amazing. This got to be one of the best events of the year. This beautiful classic music so so beautiful and peaceful too. The auditorium was in great conditions and very clean.

Our parking was just a block away. When we went to get our seats another couple was sitting in them. I thanked them for keeping our seats warm versus any rude comments. Be prepared to walk and take the stairs for your seats and the bathroom s. The sound was fabulous and the concert was very enjoyable.

We went to see a show yesterday at Mershon. When we arrived we were told after scanning our tickets that we were emailed the wrong showtime. This was a mass email, not just us. I was reassured multiple times by staff that I would receive a call today to discuss this issue. On top of the ticket prices we are out the garage payment (which charged 4 times the amount online vs if I had waited for the event). I was promised I would receive a call today from a lady who works in events. She took my name, phone number and email. The box office also took my number. NO ONE has called as promised. Horrible customer service. I have called and left a voicemail, with no return call either. If Mershon was aware of this email being sent incorrectly. They should had waited for the show to start. Absolutely insensitive of our time and money. Especially being a childrens show, how does one explain this to a 5 year old?! Many tears were shed. Will never return!

It’s nice to see this long underutilized venue hosting more events these days. It compares favorably to the downtown venues in sightlines and seating comfort, and brings in a wide variety of music and comedy performers that previously tended to skip Columbus. Parking is reasonable, usually a flat $20 event rate in the union garage. As with many columbus venues, it helps to arrive with a general idea of your seat’s location, as the ushers are not always familiar with the venue and may not be able to direct you. But definitely a good place to see a show.
