Brooklyn Nets & Barclays Center Reviews

Went to see the Ladies Night concert featuring Faith Evans and other great artists. I our hased my ti jets from Groupon. NEVER AGAIN! The nose bleed seats was where I was stuck at. Not good if you are afraid of heights!!. Coukd hardly see the stage or the screens. Whi h is my fault. But the security should have been more active in keeping ppl from smoking cannabis in the stadium. Smh.... One star for my experience but five stars for the venue. I've been to the Bar lay center a bunch of times. First time being unhappy.

Beautiful arena! The staff was helpful and friendly getting us to our seats. I can't wait to go for another basketball game! The food and beverages were of course, over priced. There is almost no diversity in your event staff, this is disappointing, hope to see that change!

Was a be sterile when I attended a nets game last season but they seem to have improved things this year - bit more fun now, which is difficult when it's the Nets. Also attended an Islanders game here, which was great in the lower seats.

I attended this venue for a Halsey concert. They closed the upper middle deck so moved me closer, but the side upper sections were still open and that's where my sister sat. I didn't have any issues but she said the sound quality was no good from where she was and there was a speaker blocking her view of the stage.

Very poor stadium design. A lot of seats have obstructed views.

Very good place, clean, organized. Staff is kind,and will help get you to where you need to go. Loved the show.

Awesome arena. Saw the UFC espn+ event and it was a great time.

My 1st and last there. They sound system is suck when the artist came on his music sound wad night good them when the other group came on like a hour later in the mist of them singing the hold sound system went dead smh.

Need to have a schedule for when they stop serving alcohol

Great islander game view food prices is unbelievable high

Great venue, great performer, and well organized. Concessions were pricey as to be expected

Good venue. Seats are a little too close together and it's very steep the higher up your seats are.

It's a nice modern stadium and certainly one of the cleanest decors in the NBA but the prices are pretty terrible and it has a fairly confusing interior. Overall it's nice and clean but kind of sterile and if you want a beer you best get a couple before the game instead

Very nice view from Suite B27 and great attentive service, extremely clean suite.

Nice stadium but not meant for hockey. just kind of weird to see a car next to the boards. The real good thing is that the staff that work there are real friendly and helpful out if you need to

Great show and acoustics but the seating is horrible. I pretty much stood up the whole show because the seating is made for a size zero model. They are super tight, no elbow room and no space to stretch your legs. The persons head in front of you is about an inch from your knees.

Be careful with the partial view seating during Islander games.

Steep seats, limited view if you're going for an isles game. Trendy af

Loved seeing the Nets play! I will definitely be back for concerts and more games in the future.

Went to see Ariana Grande's concert. All went well except traffic

Went to the Barclay Center to attend the RRHOF induction ceremony on 3/29/19. I'm disabled and use a wheelchair. Needless to say when we purchased our tickets online I couldn't get handi-cap seats, however it didn't matter. When we arrived a security woman moved a gate for easier access and the gentlemen doing the searches were very friendly too. They directed us to guest services on first floor about our seat dilemma. Once there & they heard the issue, immediately we were personally escorted to the 2nd floor through the entire crowd by a beautiful young lady named, Ziara. On the second floor, the manager met us graciously, and guided us to their handicap section while carrying on a conversation about the best food & drink stands at the center along with talking about the Nicks. The employees here are exceptional, friendly, kind and very respectful. I wouldn't hesitate attending any other events here in the future!

Beautiful new sports venue. Relatively easy to score tickets for Islanders or Nets.

Had a great time. Cashless everything but still a good time.

Stadium was very nice but staff needs to get their stuff together, very unprofessional at times.

Barclay Center is a beautiful arena. Seats are comfortable.

Staff was very helpful and friendly. Pretty decent views from all around the stadium for concerts.

A lot of fun. Great customer service. Clean facilities. A must go to place.

I wish I liked being inside Barclays as much as I love the outside and convenience of it!

My review is based on 3 concerts I've seen there - Beyonce, Fall Out Boy, John Mayer.

For Beyonce, I was in the 200's section which feels awfully steep. Honestly, it was a bit scary and I'm not even really afraid of heights. For a show where everyone is out of their seats singing and dancing along, I was nervous I'd trip forward and fall a few levels down. But I made it out alive, and so has everyone before and after me, so there isn't anything to worry about. But it is nerve wrecking up there.

My seats for Fall Out Boy were in the 100s section, no complaints there! Good seats, good sight line, enjoyable experience.

Last night at John Mayer I sat in section 24 which I was excited about. For this show, we sat the whole time, it wasn't a get up out of your seats vibe in my section. The problem with that is the seats face across to the other side of the arena, 90 degrees away from the stage. So it was very uncomfortable positioning myself diagonally to see the show. Honestly, I could have stood up, but I didn't want to be "that guy."

There is also very little legroom, so when people shuffle in or out of the row, especially in winter with big coats and handfuls of warm accessories, it's very uncomfortable.

I sound like a hater, but those were my 3 experiences.

pluses:

SUBWAY ACCESS! So easy to get to, most of the subway lines open up right to the front doors of the arena. And it's such a beautiful building, the architects and designers did an amazing job.

Decent venue to watch esports. Saw ESL NY 2016 and 2017 there.

Wonderful home for Brooklyn nets and also lots restaurants nearby including Shack Shake.

I was at the Joel Osteen Night of Hope Ministry on 07.13.18. My seats were on the second level, 225.... If u have vertigo, DON'T LOOK DOWN ON ENTRY!! It's very steep!!! Also, no consideration for patrons with long legs... It's a basketball arena!!

Upper Level is a nightmare of poorly designed corridors and sight lines.

Horrible experience. Worst seats I've ever seen. I'm size 11 shoe and I had no room for my feet. Wich made it very dificult to walk to my seat. I couldn't move my legs having to stand up every few minutes to stretch because my legs will start to cramp up. The seats were really steep and I mean really really steep. Dangerously steep. First and last time for me. I'm not a complainer but my family and I were so disappointed that I just had to leave a bad review.

It was my 1st time going to a boxing event I thought that the arena was very well maintain it was very easy to get in to it there were plenty of ticket stations to go to I also thought that the bathrooms were great plenty of paper towels and toilet paper and E air dryers the fight was really good but the security and the I ushers put me in a position to find my seat fairy easily I can't wait to use this place to go to one of the professional basketball games

Easy to go with the train station directly in front of it, very helpful staff and clean.

I suggest eating outside before you go because food is very expensive. Free WiFi and it's okay.

Not a fan of the center. The set up is horrible. They messed up when they built the place. I probably will not go back. You can fall over and get seriously hurt.

Great venue to watch a game. I've been for the nets and islanders. Great views of the game.

Islanders playing so well, undefeated at home yet only 11,000 fans show up. Barclays marketing is just terrible.

Love sitting court side here! I prefer going to a Nets game over the Knicks! Prices are better and there's a better variety of food in the court side club.

A great and historic venue in Brooklyn. Easy access and very well organized to receive and manage large numbers of fans.

Totaly amazing ... great family frendly environment

Great arena, but do not plan to eat there. Grossly overpriced. $67.00 for three hot dogs, three sodas, and an order of fries. Plenty of good restaurants outside within walking distance where you can eat a sit down meal for what they charge at these concessions.

Mark Anthony Concert Barclay's Center
Excellent

Great facility. The subway brings you right to the door. Food prices are expensive but that is to be expected.

The barclays center has a great staff! Beautiful arena

Fantastic,
when they starting the construction i didn't know is going to look amazing!!!

The Barclays center security is what I'm here to voice my complaint for. 3 friends and myself attended the future concert on May 19, 2017. All hell broke loose during the exit and everyone thought shots were being fired. I ended up being trampled on the escalator (still have some brusing approximately 1 month later) people were jumping off the escalator and it was awful. Anyway I know security can't control things like that, however they were awful to us after. I told one guard I was trampled and he laughed and said "welcome to Brooklyn" even though it was clear the 4 of us were traumatized. I asked another guard to walk us out of the arena because we were horrified and he ditched us and made 4 young girls walk down the stairs alone. Then they made us wait outside for our car service in the late night rather than letting us wait inside. Anyways they were very unprofessional and couldn't care less about us as long as they got out when their shift ended. Oh and don't even get me started on all the drugs they allowed to be brought in the arena. Really awful. Some guy passed out behind us. DO NOT GO TO BARCLAYS IF YOU WANT A SAFE EXPERIENCE.
Signing off now,

So much better than the Garden over NYC's Penn Station.

Ah i love BarClays. It's a very nice, sleek looking arena. I love that they are fully staffed. A lot of helpful people in the area. I wish it was easier to navigate once inside. It gets a little confusing.

Nice seating arrangements but way overpriced food and drinks

Is the best place to see any event and the staff and security are the best. TY.

Went to see Kendrick. Great show. Fans a little silly. Staff were actually great!

It was amazing The line moved quickly and everyone was nice and helpful

Watched a few Nets games and a couple of college games over the years, and the experience has never been short of phenomenal. Having the subway nearby is a huge bonus as well!

Worst sound and screen position ever for upper level seats

Nice theater! If you are a person with mobility issues. The stairs are steep to climb. If you are tall the seats are tight and uncomfortable.the concert was awesome.
