BancorpSouth Arena Reviews

Every event I have attended has been well organized.

Overall, it was in good condition. Wide variety of food choice at their food court area, but it's all kind of expensive. The bathrooms were not very clean when we went for a big event there, but that might have been because there were so many people there.

Arena is too small for big name concerts. Too many drunks for my child and me. We had beer poured on us many times, and they acted like it was our fault for sitting in front if them! Won't be coming here again for a concert!!!

They did it all and more the kids loved everything going on from start to finish

It was very difficult to find out seats, ushers weren't very interested in doing their job. We saw Disney on Ice and it was wonderful! Be prepared for the stupid expensive toy souvenirs, I didn't mind the souvenir cups. The $35 toy I bought for my kid didn't even last a week.

My daughter bought tickets for WWE for Saturdays Event and was scammed out of $236.00. The people in line in front of them were also. Beware of this Event Center!!!!! Do not buy tickets until you get there!!!

Events are sometime over priced, along with the concession stand prices. Decently organized:)

The place was very clean. The show was well-produced. You can hear very well. The security was moderate not severe.

Love the concerts here. Literally no bad seats in my opinion. The only thing is if you don't do good with climbing stairs then maybe stay section one..... the steps that i had to take to get to our seats (section 217 row 10) was very steep. So when i got to my seat i stayed put until time to leave.

Nice Arena! Great crew. We worked the Chris Young "no sleep tour"!

No problem getting in or out even tho it was alot if people there!

Attended my daughter's high school graduation at BancorpSouth Arena in Tupelo, MS. Nice venue. However, the seats were a little narrow and not a lot of leg room if you're over 6 feet.

I love the seating, but the sound system for graduation events could use some work.

Took my husband to see monster trucks, it's a very small place. I've been in very large venues before. They charge a lot for such a small place.

Great arena for great concerts! Well marked so easy to get in and find your seat, the acoustics were fantastic, several vending counters, abundant clean bathrooms and we'll lit parking lot. We really enjoyed coming to this venue and will be attending more concerts here.

Been to alot of concerts here, and can't wait for the next one, Miranda Lambert

Has a lot of space for you to sit. Very cold when it hot outside. Smells very good

Went to the box office on Friday March 4 at 1pm to purchase tickets for the Florida - Georgia Line concert for my wife , her favorite group . I ask the ticket agent for the best 2 tickets they had at whatever price did not matter . I was told that section 217 row 10 was the best they had , so i bought them . Then about a hour later a friend called to order tickets for same concert , she was able to purchase 2 tickets on the floor section ????? I called the box office back , talked to a agent there informed him as to what had happened , he said sorry there is nothing i can do . I would like to know why and how this can happen . I wanted best tickets i could get , that is why i drove to the box office . I think its really sad that our arena can't do a better job than this . POOR reflection on our city . THANKS singed very un happy customer

Nice event center! I have been to several events at BancorpSouth Arena. Especially Monster Jam. Really love every show. Maybe if there was a little more room they could bring the bigger trucks, but the smaller monster trucks are very fun to see. Always a super place to make great memories with my son.

Been here for many concerts and events, always a clean friendly atmosphere.

I've been to dozens of great shows and concerts in this Venue. Always Great!

Great place for events, conferences, and concerts. Well organized and maintained....

For a small town venue, they do a great job of attracting some decent acts! Pricing is usually reasonable, both for tickets and concessions. Reasonably clean overall. Acoustics aren't always the best....

It is what it is. I wish it was bigger but at the same time we a nice place to go see some of the best shows around

Love coming here!!! I've been to countless concerts and other events here and I'm always impressed!!! Staff is always great, friendly, helps you find your seat. Great seats pretty much anywhere in there!!!

By the end of the second song of Brantley Gilbet's set on Saturday, a group of trashed girls was knocking into us, and my BF asked them to please back up. They continued knocking into us, and eventually spilled an entire beer down both of our backs. At this point, he asked less nicely (read: he was pissed off) for them to back up again. So naturally, they poured a beer down his back. He called them a name, which they apparently didn't appreciate. So they called security on us, and said that I threw beer at them. When the security guy came up, he approached my BF and asked, "Did she throw a beer?" To which my boyfriend responded, "yeah man, I'm soaked all down my back." This, unbeknownst to us at the time, became confirmation that I'd thrown a beer AT SOMEONE ELSE.
He asked us to leave, and I said, "I think there's been a misunderstanding. Can we talk about this?" He said once we were outside we could. So we got outside the pit, and outside the concourse, and each time I tried to have this conversation. Each time, he repeated, "Once we get outside." I'm pretty new to this whole, "being ejected from events" thing, so it didn't occur to me to call a manager. I kept thinking, "we'll talk about this, clear it up, and go back inside!" Instead, the security guard was antagonistic to both of us, but especially my boyfriend.

He asked at least 25 times once we were outside, "So you're a liar?" "You lie to your woman a lot?" Over. And Over. Each time, he got a, "I think you're not understanding what happened in there." After about the tenth time I tried to reason with him, and he interrupted to egg my boyfriend on with another, "So he's lying then?!" It finally occurred to me that we weren't getting back inside the arena. I said, "At this point, I presume we're not going back into the concert?" and was told, "that's correct." Before being asked AGAIN what happened. I told him I couldn't see how that was relevant at this point, and we left. That security guy (the-50-year-old-used-to-do-meth-but-now-its-just-roids-creatine-and-a-sweet-tribal-arm-band-tattoo) was out of line, and actively trying to start a fight between me and my boyfriend, or him and boyfriend when that failed. I imagine best case would've been both.

I absolutely dropped the ball in not contacting his manager at the show, but I legitimately thought we'd be going back inside. This morning, I reached out to the arena, who told me that no "ejection reports" had been filed.

Later on, another manager, apparently the head of security, called me back after to "speaking to his team" who told me there were "conflicting reports." I was told AGAIN that my boyfriend "confirmed" I'd thrown beer on someone (still not what happened). He also said that this would've been resolved Saturday if I'd contacted a manager. By the time that I realized we'd need one, we were outside the doors, and "Bancorp's finest" were unwilling to budge on their BS version of events, and unwilling to let us back inside. They also claimed at this point that I cussed them out (also untrue I was frustrated but calm outside).

Why should I have to put up this much a fight to clear a misunderstanding, to see a show I've already paid for?

I was offered free concert tickets by the arena this afternoon, which I appreciate, but I don't think I'll be visiting again. The show Saturday was my boyfriend's Christmas present, and he'd been looking forward to it since I bought them in November. I don't really care about going to see a random show we SORTA care about. I care about the time and money lost driving to Tupelo, to see a show we were excited about, that we didn't get to see.

Plus, the acoustics really are pretty awful.

the handicap seats are not. anyone in a wheelchair will have a very hard time seeing at a concert.

This is an event center and the room that was used was beautiful. Not sure if I interacted with any staff there.

Concerts. Saw zz top here planning seeing Alabama soon the sound here is off the chain

Went here for graduation plenty of room for big events

Went to a great concert here. Very nice place, very security oriented, gray place for concerts and shows.
