Nice venue. Smaller and much more easy to manage than the main MSG. Prices still high. Saw Miguel Bose. Such a great show!! The merch table was fast and easy to get through. Also the communication from the venue about show delays (visa issues) was excellent. Great job!
“An unforgettable night with Los Ángeles Azules! 🎶✨ First time at this theater and I loved it — the layout makes it easy to enjoy the show from any seat. Only downside: the ladies’ room could definitely be bigger (the line was endless 😅). Overall, an excellent venue to enjoy any performance!”
Went to see Lorna Shore. Great show but it was a metal concert so why were the tickets priced so high? Corporate greed. I was reminded why I prefer smaller venues and metal concerts in general.
We have been to several concerts at this venue. It is a smaller more intimate venue than the main arena but can still seat up to 5000+ people. Good sound quality. Good view of the stage from any location. Main complaint, this particular event the floor where our seats were located were sticky. You know that Phineas and Ferb episode where Doofenshmirtz trapped Perry the Platypus with a tile of a movie theater floor(joke is that movie theater floors were sticky)? Yeah, it was that kind of sticky. I checked the other areas and they were a little sticky but ours were disgustingly so. When we were there before, that was not a problem. I’m not sure what was going on that night.
Sat just above the floor and had a great view of Dua Lipas whole show. Lights were graat...sound terrific and the venue really lent itself to giving her the ability to be seen by all.
