Shoreline Amphitheater Reviews

Well known terrible parking situation. Getting out is among the worst I've ever experienced at any sport or concert venue. Upside is that parking is free with your show admission and the venue is really fun for a concert. Better atmosphere and acoustics on the lawn compared to a show at the arena. Great family or date spot. Skip the concessions, BYO snacks and smuggled beverages. Plan lots of time to get there and get home...it's gonna be awhile.

Plenty of parking spaces. Venue is large but can get cold at night. Plenty of food choices around the stage and seating area. Very impressed with the ushers and how quickly they got cars out of the parking lots after the event was over.

This was my second time here. I have had assigned seats and lawn seats. Both were amazing but I have to say, I prefer the lawn better. No one stood in my way so I couldnt see. I'm 5'4. It was perfect. Close access to restrooms, beer. All security were always friendly, not pushy or overly authoritative. Very pleasurable experiences. I see kids rolling down the hills and people of every age enjoying the shows to the fullest. Smoking is allowed on the lawn in the back. Good food vendors, lots of drink choices, great date night or family night out.

Wonderful venue. I saw Brad Paisley with my son and had a great time!

My favourite concert place... Thank God 4 Bill Graham.

Great venue for outdoor concerts. That's where the fifth star went, into the night sky. Acoustics are okay, but not much better. The concessions leave a lot to be desired. Staff is always friendly and helpful.

Not a lot clear direction at the venue. A little disorganized.

I watched "The Cure" here on 05/26/16, it was my first time here. I got lawn seating for what I thought was a reasonable price. Make sure you get there early lots open at 4:00pm for 7:00pm concerts. Lawn chairs rent for $5.00 and are really worth it. The have a screen where they show the show but only one screen. Overall a great place to hear your favorite band live.

Too crowded, bad organization, don't let in more people than can attend the event

Major delays approaching the venue from the freeway. They need to have traffic control, at the freeway offramps, and all the offramps. June 2nd and 3rd for the Dead & Co concerts. They need to designate speed lanes for Lyft and Uber drop offs prior, and then the same sights for pickups after. It was a nightmare for trying to find your Lyft driver.

30 seconds to Mars was absolutely amazing! Great show guys!!!

Well, the view sucks unless your in the seats, but it's a great place to come chill

Was at a conference for google I/o. Great theater and LCD soundsystem was great!

The parking and getting in/out of the place is terrible. Expect 2-3 hours wait after a show.

Very beautiful place, the structure is very good, but when the sun is very hot, is impossible to stay.

The organization is very bad. The traffic is chaotic and the people who put in to direct the traffic towards the fatal car parks. If you get in there by car it's like getting into the mouth of the wolf. Impossible to leave. A very bad place and very far from everything to walk. Not worth it. The artists who usually go there are not that they are anything of the other world.

A little slow driving in but the staff was extremely organized. Traffic was flowing as smoothly as it could. Enough concession stands that you dont have to wait in line too long.

The venue itself is cool just not where you have to watch the concerts. Watching shows there blows. The fund in the lawn, but you cant even see the stage from there.

Shoreline just rocks! The venue is awesome, the area is great, the weather is perfect, and live music. It doesn't get any better!!

Plan 1 hour and $20 to get to a parking place and more than 1 hour to get back out at the end. All for less than 2 hr of music.

Parking is very unorganized. They should provide shuttle buses similar to Hollywood Bowl.
The concert was enjoyable and so were the fireworks,....but unless they figure out system for parking entry and exit won't return.

Great place for venues but the exciting the parking lot was horrible only opened 1 gate and sat still for 90 minutes before starting to move I will either find other transportation or will not see concerts ect there

Best place for live music concerts ... too windy for the lawn seating though

Super fun place. Horrible parking, get there early and leave super late cuz of traffic

This is the biggest POS venue. You ll spend 3-4 hours at the concert, but 7-8 hours trying to get in and out. Don t ever see a show at Shoreline, you ll regret it, if you ever make it out!

Awesome venue, bring your own food, pricy options only once inside! Getting out of the parking afterwards is a nightmare!!!!!!!!

Great venue, but getting in and out of it via car is BRUTAL. Plan ahead, arrive early. Shows seem to start on time.

Went to a concert a few weeks ago and the experience was marred by the parking issues. It took us 2 hours just to get into the venue parking lot and another two to get out. This kinda put a damper on the evening. Concert itself was great

Always had an awesome time here. Clean, organized, cheap show Tix - never any issues and totally a bang for your buck!!

Nice venue. Ample parking and decent weather most of the time.the traffic is worse than terrible. This is probably my last concert at Shoreline just because of the traffic. They have closed off the second route to the parking making it even worse. Then the sound system was really muddy. Cocal, guitars, drums, all we indistinct and flat sounding. The bands were good but the venue has not aged well.

I saw Paramore and the concert was good, but the view was a little limiting and the music wasn't very loud.

Love the variety of talent shoreline brings through however things could definitely be ran a lot smoother.

Saw Santana in '86 . Best experience! He played for 2 hours w/Michael Shrieve on drums and Buddy Miles singing. They took a long break and came back with a reunion of the old band and played over an hour and 45 minutes on top of that! And NOW, I am going to see them again tomorrow night with my wife and daughter and relive the event!!!!!!!!!! Whoooooooo!

Wonderful amphitheater!!! Staff is friendly, beautiful back drop....but bring lots of money if you want beer

Had a great experience here. Everything seemed more organized, even down to the women's restrooms and parking.s

Only major venue in the area, but really, it's garbage. Parking is very difficult, traffic is impossible, vendor prices are very high. Virtual monopoly allows them to keep ticket prices high as well.

Great place to see a concert!! Well organized and incredible staff!!

Great venue! We'll kept, everything is clean including the restrooms.

If you plan on going to a concert make sure that you plan on getting there 3 hours early to ensure you can beat the traffic.

This must to be one of the most inefficient, un organized venues I am have been to see a concert. It is literally taking us over 45 minutes in line just to get through the door. You must really want to see the group if you wanna come here

We had lawn seats and were disappointed that the projection screen doesn't really work to the point of being useful until it is completely dark outside. I do like that there is a beer concession stand right on the grass so you don't have to walk too far to get a drink once the show has started.

This place is very nice, google really hooked this place up! Would be nice to work here backstage as a stagehand

Organized and cool. Great place to see a music concert.

DMB was amazing and this venue is one of the best around the bay area.

The sounds (mic, speakers and stuffs) are really nice.

Great venue for concerts and good prices for lawn tickets. Friendly staff and good view. Food and drinks are pricey.

An amazing place to see a show. Great for kids of all ages!

Where do I start the Security team here is awesome and on top of it all plus they work together very well.

Saw a great show here. Halsey rocked it. We sat on the lawn and it was fine. The screens are good. The sound was good. Bought some good beer. Ate burritos beforehand so we didn t have to pay for crappy, over priced food. I have seen INXS, Madonna and Al Green here over the years with no complaints.

The seating sucked, can't get a decent view of the stage.

Absolutely love this place. Always love the party scene up on the lawn. I ve been coming here for 20+ years and still love it every time.

Outdoor concerts in the Bay Area are the best for the weather. You can't beat California weather!

Great music venue with a wide variety of artists. My only complaint would be how frequently my favorite artists have shows on weekdays
