Red Rocks Amphitheater is beautiful, and you couldn't ask for better acoustics during a live show. I personally love it here, however there are some major issues when it comes to actually being in the audience during a show.
Saw Billie Eilish last night, my first show at Red Rocks in YEARS. The weather wasnt cooperative and we got rained on pretty heavily. The Amphitheater sells ponchos, yet they sold out pretty quick, which was only slightly annoying.
My group had really good seats, but as soon as the show started, a large group came rushing down, and pushed in, standing directly in front of us. Note, I had 4, 14 year old girls and 1 12 year old boy with me, who couldn't see well over the heads of the intruders. Heaven forbid any of us tried to sit down. Security was notified, and did NOTHING.
Then there's the smoking. Red Rocks provides designated smoking areas - outside of the audience, along the outside rails, yet there was an insane amount of smoke (including Marijuana - which by the way is illegal to smoke in public places, such as in the middle of the audience at a concert). Again, security was notified, and again NOTHING was done. If anything, the longer the show went on, the heavier the smoke got, to where myself and my kids were covering our faces to avoid it.
Red Rocks is beautiful and an amazing venue, but I have zero plans on returning.
