Our high seats were behind that Hugh thing that hung from the ceiling. We couldn't see Celine on stage. Too high if a price to see nothing .. It's a good thing we could hear the music. Never go up there again.. But on the lower levels.
Great staff and easy access from 275. Parking was easily accessible and within walking distance from the stadium.
This place isn't bad, but its just such a large venue, and you get trapped with all the people and the close seating. I hate large arenas and avoid them
Concession had lots of options-too expensive for average person. Staff 5*
Went here for the opening season for,the Tampa bay lightnings. We had vip tickets and it was one of the best experiences ever. The food was out of this world! The best buffet outside of Las Vegas. We had amazing seats and drinks were free too, as well as parking! If you do go here, I suggest getting tickets to the Chase Lounge. Oh, did I mention the Lightning's won?
Very cool arena, clean and easy to find your way around, go bolts!
Enjoyed the Lightning playoff game even though they didn't play well, the atmospherr was great.
Large and lots of room. Helpful staff to guide you. Large crowds can easily get in and out without a lot of waiting.
Enjoyed my evening watching NHL game. Outside fun with games and cheerleaders, easy access, security good, staff friendly to assist locating seats.
On the whole, they are not accommodating to people with disabilities. If it is a huge crowd draw, for a popular act, they sell the handicapped/disabled seats as general admission. No preference to those disabled, using mobility devices or in a chair. Basically, if you are in a wheelchair and have purchased tickets, you can either shimmy up several flights of steep stairs to sit in the area you desired and purchased tickets for, or you can go downstairs to a "handicap viewing area" that provides no companion seating, nor seating for those not in a wheelchair. If you use a walker or cane, your options are to scale the stairs or go stand for an entire concert in a "viewing" section. Not. Disabled. Friendly. (Hockey games may be completely different as I have never had an issue at a Lightning game)
Great staff and wonderful events, just what we wanted.
Very nice stadium and wide array of drinks and food to choose from. Very beautiful interior and exterior. Hockey game here was simply amazing to see (even though the lightning lost).
Love this place. All the good stuff can be seen here. The food is very overpriced, but that's expected
It was a awesome night. Mercy Me was Powehouse love it
Love this arena. Go Bolts! Best atmosphere for hockey fans. Great venue for concerts and shows.
completely unprofessional when it comes to handling customer issues. i was threatened by a woman and her mom and yet the staff saw to it that i was yelled at by 3 different employees. i emailed them arena and they never got back with me. i hope the staff undergoes some sort of training to prevent any further incidents like this.
The Amalie Arena staff are very friendly and go out of the way to make you feel welcome.
Beautiful facility. Great place to watch a hockey game.
Barbara Streisand concert, every staff member was helpful and friendly
the best hockey arena Florida has to offer and definitely a top notch arena nationwide. we go for the hockey games but it is probably good for concerts too although I've never heard what the sound is like for one of those. the seats are comfortable and there are modern amenities. go bolts
WILL NEVER GO BACK!!!
Arena Information/ Communication: POOR. Purchased 4 tickets to Hugh Jackman performance for 7/5/2019. 1 person handicap. Website gave # & email address if you needed handicap seating/parking information.
Called 7/1 - no answer. Wrote email - no response.
7/2 - called, recording "all reps busy, hold or leave msg." On hold for 1 hr. Sent another email - no response.
7/3 - drove to arena. All doors locked / areas roped off. Found security guard who informed us they were closed and would reopen the day of the event. He highly recommended valet parking ($30.00)
7/5 - called. Spoke to a rep. who informed us NO VALET service due to construction in the area. Told us where to handicap park.
7/5 - concert scheduled to start at 7pm. All arena parking filled by 6pm. Nearest parking 2 blocks away. Heavy thunderstorms prevented wheelchair bound ticket holder from attending. He dropped the other 3 off and went home. When he came back to pick them up at concerts end, he couldn't get near the place he dropped them off at. Thank GOD for cell phones or he'd never find them.
The police were of little help and very contradictory. Example: handicap driver attempted to enter arena parking lot. Held up handicap sticker. One policeman waved him into the lot, another one standing 15 feet away blocked him from entering. At a light another policeman found out the lot was full.
Signage/Directions: non-existent. If you could get near a policeman to ask where to go, you have a 50/50 chance of them giving you the right info.
AVOID THIS ARENA. GO TO THE ARENA IN SARASOTA - VAN WEZEL.
Police we
Loved the O'Reilly and Miller show, the spin stops here.
Nice rake to the seats, the club level is more intimate. During a show, there's a nice selection of craft beers, but they are pretty pricey.
Great experience
Great venue for hockey!@
Fun time at the hockey game. Drinks are super expensive
About the most uncomfortable seats for a hockey game I've ever sat in. I'm 6'9" tall and the temporary seats are not for extra tall people.
Awesome sporting arena. Prices on food are your typical over priced items. 5$ for a snickers candy bar. 5$ for a water.
Great place to watch the Tampa Bay Lightning games or whenever WWE wrestling comes to town either for RAW or Smackdown and even P.P.V. events.
Concerts. Great. Hockey games Great........traffic . Parking. Concessions all overpriced & make you think Twice about coming back!!
Very Organized and seats are very comfortable. We were able to see the 1st Female Ringmaster, and the final show of Ringling Bros and Barnum and Bailey Circus.
Great place to watch a game friendly staff the food is always fresh and delicious
I love being here. Really nice stadium. Staff is sort-of friendly too.
Just got tickets for
Fleetwood Mac...
Lindsey Buckingham
will be missed for sure.
The concert was amazing.
Probably see Pink...as well.
Saw Lightning games here
Last week...easy in@ out..
Great seats.. great fans...
Lots of fun..
Lightning game was fun. Although we lost, I had a wonderful night. The staff did an excellent job on food and attending to our needs. Thank you all!! We were in the chase club seating.
Had dinner at the Firestick before the Pink concert..The Food was FABULOUS
Great place to watch hockey. Just waiting for life to return to normal.
Great venue. Chase club seats are fantastic for concerts! Easy parking close to entry and elevators right there!
I highly recommend anyone that lives in the Tampa area attend a lightning game or two. They are great fun! No seat in Amalie arena is a bad one.
Thanksgiving morning Goody Goody Turkey Gobble 5k run! Love it
Here to see the Stanley Cup Play offs...Awesome place. Free gift in the seat cup holder a noise maker...cool. pre book your parking online, it's cheaper.
Beautiful building, well laid out and modern, very clean, including bathrooms .... however whether it be snacks, food or drink, all were very very expensive hence my 3 out of 5 rating.
I think it's a shame that this arena and others around the country allow there vendors to charge such outrageous prices and the arena wouldn't allow us to even bring in our own water, charging us $9.00 for 2 bottles. Some of the women coming to this conference are not like sports fans, mom's and grandma's cannot budget for this....
I feel sad,disappointed that they will not help me get refund on concert tickets!! I got up at 430am to be first in line and paid pretty penny for them. And I turely dont want to hold them for another yr! Dont know why the ticket window isnt open? People wear mask!
Wonderful venue for a hockey game. Downside is the food and beverage prices are through the roof. Do yourself a favor and eat before you go.
Very clean especially considering it being an arena. Staff always smiling, ready to help.
Great time st the hockey game. Beware of the beer prices on the plaza before the game. 2 Corona draft beers at the Corona bar cost $30. No mask. No gun. She just took my money. We should've stopped at Hattricks for our pregame beverages.
Great place to see a hockey game, we'll kept, good food service, parking not great, pricey
We attended the "For King and Country: The Little Drummer Boy" Christmas concert. The venue was perfect for the program as well as the size of the crowd. I've attended other events at Amelia Arena but this is the first time I have used the parking garage. It was worth the price to park so close to the venue and not have to walk from some distant lot that may or may not be safe.
Staff was friendly and helpful at the Chainsmokers concert. The concert was great!!
Great facility for hockey games and other functions. Parking can be challenging if you are a last minute person.
Downtown Tampa. Traffic is horrible unless you are already there due to work or you go on a Sunday.
worst acoustics in this place no show sounds good it was built for HOCKEY not for music if someone says it was good it was probably rap or justine bieber trash!!!
Go Lightning! But seriously I've been to quiet a few concerts here as well & almost every seat is a good seat.
I went to see Monster Jam I prefer the big Stadium. But the service and food was good
Enjoyed the show, easy entry and exit, although with surrounding construction suggest prepay or reserve parking when buying tickets
