#ironmadien #concert #livemusic I've seen iron madien and also Judas priest here on 2 separate occasions. Both great bands but I think the venue needs to work on there sound quality when it does come to heavy metal bands. If they are trying to go that route with playing music there.

Terrible place if your an adult taller then an elf seats are child size and leg room is almost non-existent if you have a choice don't go

It is a great looking center from the outside and inside. So many entrances and exits, so it's easy to go in and get out. Problem is the steep seating arrangement. It is very tight and the whole row of people needs to get up if someone has to pass. Not a good seating plan. Negative 2 rating for the bad seating. There is a lot of chances to tip and fall, especially the top rows. Be careful.

Blessed with stadiums like "The House that Ruth Built" and "The World's Most Famous Arena", New York runs the gamut of splendor and might. With Barclays Center, NY has another world class stadium for it's also ran teams (the Nets and Islanders, while competitive, often pale in comparison to the Knicks and Rangers)
As a baskerball court, concert venue, and hockey rink, Barclays Center is a true multi purpose tool of a stadium. However, much like a multi tool, sometimes having something that can do 1 thing really great is better than having something that can do 3 things pretty good. Primarily designed as the home court of the Nets, the lay out of seats aren't hospitable for hockey games or some concerts. Islanders games suffer from having one corner of ice essentially blocked from view from most seats. For concerts (or really any event for that matter), seating in the upper sections are precariously arranged, and placed as if on a sheer cliff, making getting up to dance in your seat an exercise in safety.
Being a denizen of Brooklyn, the stadium should mirror the burgeoning food scene, and not resort to stadium fare of old. Sadly, while the arena may offer some unique options, most of the selection is bland, tasteless and overpriced. You'd be better off actually going to the restaurant rather than trying the offerings in the area

The Bomb. Had a blast! They gave out Spiderman Bobble Heads this night. Food and drinks are expensive, but it comes with the territory. Hey! At least Brooklyn did win and that game was the begining of their winning streak.

I went with my daughter to see her favorite group, Florence and the machine. The seats were good enough, the concert was fantastic but you'll pay up the wazoo for good or drink. 1 popcorn, 1 beer and 1 soda $42.00!!!!!! Crazy crazy. Had I not sent my daughter, I wouldn't have bought anything. Shocked to say the least.

Awesome, after Double Overtime it would have been nice if the Nets would have won.

I have been in this venue over 10 times Views for events in certain spots are good. I find the views from most seats mostly decent. Recently as I sat in section 211, my view was partially blocked by scaffold/iron frames. Sat in section 121 in first row (row 4) and had my knees smashed against railings for 5 hours, terrible. In general, the seating is just a little close between rows so you will need to get up often to stretch. Unfortunately the narrow space between rows means it will be difficult to get out of row while try to avoid falling over the seats in row in front of your ankles.
Only two sizes of soda can be had a tiny (maybe 12 oz) soda for $6.50 or a large, Barclay Center "souviner" (approx 32oz) for $11.50. The cup can't be refilled. Unfortunately "bottled" water (16.9 oz.) always is dumped in a cup. But sorry we have no lids. I like bottled water (and bottled drinks in general) because it is easier to keep clean and not spill. I understand why stadiums won't let us have the bottles BUT GET SOME DAMN LIDS!!!! Good luck trying to get your hot dogs on the wobbly paper tray dry.
This place could easily be a 5 star place if they could provide lids for the water cups and give us a tiny bit more room even given the sometimes rude, worry about finger nail clippers entry security staff.

I was there three times to see the Nets. The arena is really great but the prices for the games are ridiculously expensive (I ve never seen the arena full or almost full), staff was rude and the food was not only overpriced but horrible.

I used to work for the Barclays Center. It was exciting to see the stars attending so of the events. They had the Brooklyn Nets, The Islanders, music concerts, Disney shows on Ice, Boxing, The Circus, WWE and many more events . They had a lot of things going on. Food was pricey with drinks to match. Go and experience the Barclays for yourself. I got to see many shows for free because I was an employee.

Went to a concert 5/12/18 and waited an hour to get into the venue because of security. You would've thought we were at the airport the way they were checking us. We missed two performances. A waste of money. Only Brooklyn venue I'll be attending is Kings Theatre.

Barclay's needs to fix their sound system. 75% of the concerts I have attended there, was ruined due to poor sound. They make too much money to be so careless. I am reconsidering attending concerts there.

This place I kind of refrain from going here unless I have no other choice. If I know the event I'm going to has another date at another arena I prefer that one over Barclays. If you're going to a music artist concert or basketball game it's going to be about 50% more organized than if you were to go to a musical play or show other than that. When it's not a music artist's show the place is a zoo and the staff they have on board is nothing but ghetto and HIGHLY unprofessional, cursing, and carrying on at the guests. It's disgusting. I assume they hire people off the street. Anyone can get a job there. The smoking should be prohibited since it is a public venue and kids are around. I can't with Barclays.

If you're not in a Suite you will be in a tight fit when it comes to seating.

One of the best venues for basketball throughout the league. Even the higher sections aren't that far from the court. Staff members are very accommodating throughout the stadium and security is able to move people rather quickly even in crowds. The crowd environment can be a bit lackluster, however that's simply because its the Nets. But the stadium itself is clean, cool, and overall a great experience no matter what the event.

Great venue. saw the Nets on Sunday. Clean, great sight lines, great seats. Concession pricing as ridiculous as anywhere. $12 for a burger the size of a white castle burger. $4 more for soggy fries.

Not impressed by the Barclays , the sound system is awful I've been in nose bleeds seats in other venues and still enjoyed myself but you couldn't hear anything went to see (masters of ceremony) the seats were cheap and I found street parking but they didn't tell us we needed print outs of the tickets before hand so we had to wait on a 45 min line before we got in to print them out which was aggrivating. I was really hoping for much more but I'd rather go to the Prudential center personally.

Excellent!!! This place Is confortable, It has a good View from everywhere, AND the organization AND security work perfect..also you don't have to walk to get there because the MTA station Is at the front of the Barclays Center, the line 2 of the MTA leaves you there

The SHOW was great. Great service friendly down to earth and decent only problem was my seat was taken spent better half of show by one of the entrances.
