I will try to clarify the mixed reviews. Yes, the drinks are priced like Disney. Wait in a 1 staff line & get a bottled water for $4. I don't drink, so can't price the alcohol.

The concert area is a concrete floor, sloping down, a traditional 1960's theatre design, so yes, every seat has a view (unless you are 5'2" & the guy in front of you is over 6' - I know from experience). The seats are very poorly marked (look for chalk mark scrawled numbers on the raised seat bottoms), so sometimes the ushers are very busy helping folks find their seats. The central air is inadequate, so sometimes it's hot & steamy, and other times it's cool. Prepare for both.

The seats are their downfall, and if you get a chattier employee, they will tell you part of the reason. First, some concerts have seats & some are SRO. You might want to ask in advance which yours is. I'm disabled, so that would be a deal breaker for me. Standing on a sloping concrete floor for hours? I'd be toast. But permanent seats are impossible because they have to remove them for certain shows.

What are the seats like? They are sturdy (I have seen them hold 400+ lb concertgoers without a creak) & have a medium padding, but that's it for the plus side. They are also attached edge to edge with other seats, and open at the lower back, with little foot room, hip room, shoulder room. The staff is primarily young, so that must account for some of their lack of concern. The open backs provide no lumbar support, so I find myself squirming & fidgeting to ease my back pain. I have yet to attend a concert where I didn't become intimately familiar with my neighbors' hips & shoulders...to the point that I could feel the music tempo to which they're moving. Seriously! And I am not huge. I am an average middle aged woman, again, 5'2", and I have to sit with my body canted diagonally, my arm behind my former linebacker husband, just so he can fit, also sitting diagonally, one leg in the aisle, balancing part of his 6'+ frame throughout the show. It's crazy! (Think of a plane seat.) But I give you these details so you can understand the mixed reviews. If you're a skinny young staffer type, you won't understand the complaints. If you're a normal sized over-40 patron, you will want to know these things.

I saw quite a few people using canes at the last show. I hope they did better than I. During the concert I balanced my purse & bottled water in my lap*, and held my cane upright between my knees. Several times, though, with the fidgeting, my cane fell down & hit the stranger beside me. Thankfully, he understood.

If the shows weren't so good, I wouldn't even go back. As it is, my husband & I both require taking in advance a Vicodin & a muscle relaxer to take the edge off the pain caused by these seats during the concert (though the pain does break through). We hurt through the next day, too.

*Remember, the floor is sloped concrete. Don't put your drink or purse on the floor. If you move in the tight leg area, or someone tries to walk past you to a middle seat, there likely will be a spill. And if someone behind you has a spill, it WILL roll downhill...like a beer did last concert.
