I attended a concert that featured In This Moment. The concert was great, but the overall experience of the theater itself was more bland.My party and I got to the concert early, even though we had our assigned seating, to make sure we could get any snacks or anything extra before the first band came on stage. The food and drinks were way over priced, but this is not uncommon. We couldnt bring anything into the theater so its kinda of a situation where you are just stuck.We sat down at our assigned spots. The first band started and the theater wasnt even full. Our friends who were a bit farther away came and sat next to us so we could rock out together. More people came in, but we were able to meet up again for the last band.The concert was great despite a few errors from the sound techs, so I can say if that was the concert halls fault or not. The concert hall itself was just boring though. The band could have performed anywhere and still been great.If you like seated rock concerts this place is fine. I would have preferred to be outside, even if I had to stand I had no real issues with it or the staff, but I was not amazed in anyway by the place.

John Legend at Arizona Federal Theater!Very nice venue. Easily accessible by the light rail. Well be back. Try Hannys, the Blue Hound, or Dust Cutter for drinks after.

Very good venue for going and seeing live shows of all sorts. Weve gone to multiple concerts here and every one we attended was an absolute blast. Parking isnt too terrible and you can generally park within walking distance of the venue. The prices of concessions are definitely high priced, as is expected for concerts, but the real issue is the quality of said purchases is less than it should be for those prices. Do yourself a favor and grab a bite before going to your show from one of the many amazing restaurants around the theatre, youll be much happier overall.

We purchased last minute tickets, I was lucky enough to find VIP Suite tickets. Great tickets in Suite 7 booth for 54.00 each plus 20 service fee. VIP Suite tickets come with free parking, 3rd floor VIP Lobby/bar and nice bathrooms. Drink service in the booth. It was a nice experience. When I received our tickets from a 3rd party, they didnt setup the parking pass.I called the theater, but found out you have to email requests, I wanted to see if parking was free and it was, the previous ticket holder didnt give my name, but the office gladly put me on the parking list. Great reserved parking and a VIP Entrance.A wonderful evening. The office was very helpful. The view was great and we enjoyed the concert without fighting the crowd. Thank you Eric Larson and Kristie Sloan for all your help!It was hard to get pictures and they do no justice for the great view we actually had.

Thank you for being responsible venue purveyors! Felt great to back seeing live music again. If everyone does their part, you wont have to shut your doors again. Rise Against was awesome! Great service from everyone and not a bad seat in the house.

Amazing venue... comfortable, awesome sound acoustics, great view anywhere you are, affordable ticket prices

Great setup, nice seating, and a big venue. Its a bit over priced for drinks. But the staff was friendly and helpful. I had a great time seeing one of my favorite bands. [In This Moment]

Awesome place for a concert sad they dont take cash anymore

The environment is phenomenal. Great artists come and play here. Megadeth tour was amazing. Great sound and overall a great experience. Highly recommend this place.

Saw Megadeth, Lamb of god, Trivium, Hatebreed here this is a nice theater it was first time be here only flaw was the seat are to small thats the only thing theres no parking problems we right across the street 15 dollars for parking didnt have to walk far. Cant wait to go back here

Great show. Saw rebelution do a mix of new and old songs and the opening band was from Jamaica. They rocked. Didnt know everything is cashless. Would have been nice to know.

Saw Need to Breathe here. Great venue. Drove in from Fresno Ca and had a blast.

The venue has decent acoustics but just had to share a weird and strange experience. Last night at Pat Benatar we had to wear a mask for the VIP experience. At first this might not seem that strange, but wait. The group had to sit about 75 feet from the stage. The Q&A was a whopping two questions and then for the concert where there were far more people and much closer to Pat, no one had to wear a mask. So they made the people who paid more for the private experience wear a mask, this after proving no one had covid. I love live concerts but no more VIP until after this world returns to some semblance of normalcy.

Great venue for live music! Tonight was The Menzingers, The Descendants and Rise Against. Ed, Mitch and the entire staff were so friendly and accommodating. Thank you for making my first concert since pre covid a blast!#thebillradkeexperience

Just hung out in suite 4 while watching Modest Mouse. Great time, staff was great and courteous.

Great place for a show! Not a bad seat in place.

Went to see Lindsey Stirling with my wife! The show was amazing, the parking was close by and the venue is nice

Fantastic venue not too big not too small. Easy to get to and good parking. Friendly helpful staff..

We’ve attended several shows here but were disappointed that at the last minute (less than a week before the concert) you changed entry policy to either vaccinated or a negative COVID test. We got tested and had a positive for antibodies test (which a vaccinated person would to) but were denied entry. As the antibodies will be in your system for over 9 months it is not fair to discriminate against people for not having the vaccine if they are immune or have iG antibodies. Studies have shown even vaccinated people can transmit COVID so why not make everyone get tested? This policy is not based on science or you would require testing from everyone, furthermore you’d be intelligent enough to know iG Antibodies in your system means it’s not a current infection and that iM would be an active case. Don’t waste money on concert tickets to where they can change the rules on entry AFTER the purchase.

A very large, small room. Deceptively so, looks much larger than it is. Good staff, good security lines, fast & efficient. Overpriced concessions, as always.

Went to go see Alicia Keys, but the show got canceled 45 days prior. Venue replaced the show with Pat Benatar, bought tickets, went to go in and they wouldnt let us in since we didnt have our covid cards. Said we could test for an additional $45.00pp. Ticket agent should of informed us that we needed it before purchasing. Had to return tickets we just purchased.

The logistics of getting into a show here are terrible! We were there for the Lindsey Stirling concert and they had us all lined up, literally around the block and two city blocks down the street. Their security team was extremely slow getting people through - mostly, their team was made up of a bunch of older folks that were clearly on a power trip.Unfortunately, with less than half of the patrons inside, it began raining out of nowhere. It was down pouring! Yet, their security team was unwilling to speed up the process. They stood there and chatted with one another - chatted with patrons. We stood in the rain for 35 minutes before we finally got in. I was soaked from head to toe, as were 80% of the entire audience.Then, as everyone was soaking wet, we get inside, and the air conditioning was set to nearly arctic temperatures. We were cold, we were wet. Finally, the waitstaff. We were in the suite, which was extremely nice! But the waitstaff had no idea what was on the menu. We asked for a honey Jack and coke. She said they didn’t have honey Jack. Thinking that must be wrong, we walked to the bar and, sure enough, they had honey Jack. This occurred even with the food. So, we paid for suite seats with wait service, and we STILL had to go get our own food and drinks.It’ll have to be someone I REALLY want to see in concert before I choose to attend a show at the the Arizona Federal Theater.

No AC for the the upper section, it got up to 93 degrees.The chairs are way to close, they didnt follow any covid regulations, at all.I will never be going here again.If your plus size or over 6ft, forget it!!!If you can afford the beat seats in the house, awesome. The rest of us, cant...8/12/21 in AZ, at the top, with no AC!!!Just dont go here. Not worth it at all.

Talk about an experience 😩 I recently was invited last minute to a concert here for Lindsay Sterling and there were so many things that went wrong for instance doors did not open on time, it started raining (obviously not the venues fault), devices for scanning tickets were lagging, the drinks and food/snacks are absolutely over priced. Three Dasani water bottles for $20 dollars????? That was the kicker for me. I wonder how much those pretzels and nachos were at the concession stand. Either way, Im not sure if it was just a off night but it couldve been much much better.

Had fun at a concert except I was unaware of the no purse policy. The security made me put my purse outside because I didnt drive there. Then I was told I could use a clear bag. I wanted water at the end of the concert. I asked the security guards where water was and they didnt give me any helpful information.

Great venue n such a great time at our first major concert of 2021!!! Polite and helpful staff. Always non judgemental when u wear freaky masks. Have been here before and will definitely go again...

The venue is nice, but the tickets should plainly state that the time of the event is actually the time the doors open! Thousands of people waited in the pouring rain thinking that access inside was available, when in actuality the concert didnt start for another hour and a half after the doors open. So DO NOT arrive any earlier than the time on your ticket, or you simply will not be able to enter the building! In my opinion, a huge fail on Arizona Federal Theaters part 👎

Live shows are BACK!! amazing show last night! Magadeth, lamb of god, trivium, hatebreed!

There are not many bad seats in the place. Heads up the drinks are expensive, paid 140 bucks for 4 drinks. Also no purses or bags allowed inside.

Has been a favorite place to see shows for many years. Great sound, generally & I like the option to purchase seats. Concession prices are pretty extreme & I dont dig their new pour policy at all. Not sure who dictates that, though. Seems dumb/wasteful to buy something in its own container, only to have it poured into a plastic cup. Definitely makes me rethink buying any drinks at all.

We were in the 200 section. The seats are so narrow that you can never get comfortable. The people on either side are literally in your space so everyone has to contort to fit together.And it never cooled off. We were warm all evening.

Loved John Legend❣

One exit on a romantic, this seems against fire codes. Very disorganized theater show starts at 7pm wasnt through security and ticket scam till 7:30pm. No time for concern swap or drinks. They lose this extra revenue. What if I gave dinner reservations for after. How ineffective and inefficient. A good start would be an god gut rehab and a replacement if head office management.

Its was kind of odd to have that many seats for a show. Nobody sat down and when we did we couldnt see the stage. Id rather not come to this theater to see a concert. Open floor settings like the Marquee seem to have better view of the stage and the sound system wasnt that good. I honestly expected more.

This place gets one star from me because the seats are so tiny, and spaced way too close together. No one in my party was comfortable, not even my teenagers. For the price they charge, I expected better. It was my first and last time visiting this place unless they remodel.

Great venue. Friendly staff. Organized layout and fantastic sound for concerts. The VIP seats were perfect!

Very clean for a concert venue. Bathrooms are. Restrooms are easily accessible. Great staff. Good drinks

Horrible management! Absolutely unprepared. The pre show was canceled (without Ticketmaster notifying anyone) so they opened doors later. Not theaters fault, but the theater didnt think about having a line at what should have been the correct time. The line wrapped around the building & back& forth 4 times. Okay. My party was here very early and in the first section of line. Security failed to direct line and we watched over 100 people in line BEHIND us go in as rain DRENCHED US. Security didnt care. Horrible horrible horrible planning!

I have always enjoyed shows here, but last week had suite seats for the 1st time. My husband & I had no idea what that meant, so when we got there & had to take a special elevator up to the suites we were excited. It was so awesome!!!! Having a suite to ourselves with a fridge, food & beverage service, great sound & view. It was an amazing date night!

Theatre was really clean! Plenty of bar/cocktail choices. Besides the concert starting late, the theatre was beautiful!

Had a great time EXCELLENT THEATRE!

The boxing match was enjoyable. The place was clean and secured.

Great boxing event put out by thunderbolt boxing here

Great venue for live music! Sound carries really well! Super helpful staff on every corner! Dont bring cash!

Only 4 stars because dont get me wrong, I do like the shows here. Just wish there was better Wfi here.

Great place for a show just seen the Megadeth concert there. It gets 4 stars because the beers were $19 freaking dollars.

Great concert space! John Legend was amazing!!

Great sound. Trivium, Lamb of God, Megadeth all sounded great, but so frickin hot in upper level, nearly overheated. This could be a dangerous combination for those with underlying health conditions like epilepsy. Ventilation needs some serious attention!!!

Beautiful building. Easy to get to.

Good staff, nice venue. Sounds was good, and they handled a sold out metal show with ease.

We had a blast. It was nice seeing a concert again

First concert in AZ, good location, easy to find parking nearby. Hope they get a better lineup after being hindered by COVID. Hard to get a bad seat inside

Liked the theater did not like the parking problem. Show was great !

Loved the theater and loved seeing Lindsey Stirling. Awesome experience.

The show was good however the staff did not have any control of the lineI had been in line 45 minutes yet people that had arrived 5 minutes were getting in. The tickets said the show was at 7 but the doors did not open till I started to rain. The procedure for entrance is pathetic at best

They have us lined up IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET for the Lindsey Sterling concert. Unsafe and unprofessionalEdit: not only were we lined up in the street it began pouring rain on us. And since the opening act never showed up they did not let us in the venue until almost 730. Every single person there was completely soaked. Will not be returning here for any reason

Such a great venue! Sound was great, staff was great. Thanks for an awesome night!

It’s pouring rain outside and you’re concerned about putting everybody through metal detectors. Then, to add insult to injury, your ticket scanners take freaking FOREVER to scan a ticket. Extremely poor customer service! Nothing like sitting through a concert soaking wet🤬🤬

June 29 2019 Brit Floyd, an outstanding concert by a group of highly talented musicians who played 3 hours of amazing Pink Floyd music. The visuals have to be experienced to believe it. Comerica is always a great venue but this may be the best concert sound Ive ever heard.

Outstanding place to see any show. This venue is very personal. Thank you for such a great place to enjoy your entertainment.

Great venue size and they did a great job disinfecting everything while there were guests in the building. Im not sure if it was a band or venue decision but proof of vaccinations or a negative Covid test in the last 72 hours was required for entry.

And we are out!!!! Once inside the theater we are informed there is no cash sales. Ok well why didnt you post that? So once we walked 1/4of a mile from the parking garage you can not get water, well there are water fountains with people surrounding them using them to hold themselves up. We talked to everyone who works here and not one person would take the lack of info into account. Everyone is so sorry bla blah blah. $400 in vip seats wasted because this theater has NO Human concern just the $$$ WOW!!! We stayed less than 30min we are going to be sick if we cant get water at a metal concert in the flipping desertticket # 247713830287

Nice theater! Bar lines were fast. Parking was simply! @ #Keznamdi & #Rebelution Concert ❤💛💚

Great location and facilities. Went for a graduation, everything went well. Have been there under every name. Just because, SUNS IN FOUR!

Good sized venue - not too big or too small

Great place for a rock show! They have a newly redesigned and renovated place and its great. You can really get up close to the bands😁

Although a FANTASTIC establishment, I must add disappointment to the Sunday closed sign.If theres a concert, baseball, or basketball or any other event youll have to head over to Dog Haus or Kilt. Just sayin.State 48 is badass but I like beers and foods on Sundays too lol

Easy, fun, not great wine but service is decent and timely!

Had us wait in line forever... Then created a new line when they opened letting hundreds of people in before those that waited patiently. This was frustrating... Particularly because it started raining and those that showed up early were soaking wet while those that showed up early for in dry as can be. Spoke with management - they ABSOLUTELY did not care.

Been here a handful of times. Not really a bad seat. I have ever been to the pit. But if you catch wrestling here they offer stage seating. Get those tickets. Hell yeah good time !!

This place was to NY surprise very clean. The seats were clean and comfortable. My Grandsons graduation was held here.

Not bad but no cup holders and not enough space.

Saw MegaDeth in a private suite, great view and speaker. Overall I cant complain at all

Have seen a couple shows here. Even sitting on the far seats next to the wall still offered a decent view of the stage. Center is better though!

Switch Foot concertThe acoustics in section 1 were terribleVocals were muddled and sounded like gibberish.The sound was better in the lobby 600 feet away as we left.

Ok seating not really meant for anyone that is a bit overweight plus no cuphloder

Excellent venue, fantastic location.Nice layout.

Awesome venue! Went to a machine gun Kelly a few weeks ago, seats were easy to find, parking was a breeze as was security.

This is a fantastic theater. My wife and I have been here many times for concerts and have enjoyed each of them. Plenty of parking close by and lots of options for food and drinks.

Wed, Sept 1-st, 2021... the show start time was 7 pm on the website but 8 pm at the venue. The venue security was not notified of the time change and that caused about 1.5 hr. delay. People were waiting on a mile long line - and the pouring rain meant that everybody got wet and shivering for about 2-3 hrs. to see a surrogate show ( after pandemy a lot of second hand shows are popping up like mushrooms after rain). A mediocre violin player with only a drummer and a bass player and 4 cheerleader as dancers did not manage to elevate the show quality to more than a high-school rehearsal. A lot of noise but no music- - This scam-show was made worse by the terrible acoustics that this venue has. Never again .

Went for SYML and Dermot Kennedy last night. The venue was very organized. We parked right across the street in the parking garage, had no trouble getting in, and got a good spot in the GA pit. Amazing show! I would definitely go again.

Great venue. This was my first time there and I loved the setup and the way the sound bounced off the walls made for an incredible concert experience. I will definitely be coming back here!!

Lindsey Stirling put on an amazing holiday themed show tonight. Many wardrobe changes, excellent stage lighting and visuals as well as funny moments. Great dancers added to the show as well.

There for the rally to hear candidates running for Governor, secretary of state, and senate. DONALD Trump spoke, sponsored by Turning Point, packed house, it was great!

Amazing energy cool crowd made good memories with me good friends

I love this venue for small concerts. Amazing acoustics, and all great seats!

Excellent place to catch your favorite show! More + cozy and intimate the closer you sit to the front, but great venue no matter your location. Hoziers voice would fill this venue without electric speakers.. So was a killer show and Rocked the House 🤘🐙🕺

Recently went to PAW Patrol Live! at Comerica Theatre and highly recommend this venue! The staff we interacted with were all friendly and helpful, easily approachable and all smiles even through the crowds and kids and controlled chaos.The venue was easy to get into, everything was clean and although the outer sections were blocked off there were plenty of seats for watching the show. The stage was large enough for an awesome show while being small enough not to overwhelm the audience. There were also plenty of snacks and drinks available at the concession stands, both before the show and at intermission which was awesome. (Better prices than the movie theaters, fyi!)Definitely recommend buying parking passes ahead of time for events, the garage is situated just across the street and makes things easier, just be prepared for a longer exiting time period.

Took my Mom to see Derek Hough Live. The venue is nice and I love the fact the parking garage is right behind the venue. My Mom cant walk long distances so this makes it much easier on her. Bathrooms were clean but I wish they had an in door and an out door. Was hard to exit the restroom while everyone else was trying to come in. Other than that the show was fantastic and we had a great time! Seats are decently comfortable but if you are in the middle it is hard to get in if people are already seated. We book aisle seats for this reason! Only took us about 30 minutes to exit the parking garage as well. Much less hassle than Talking Stick Arena. I love the smaller venue feel anyway. Sound quality is also pretty darn good!

Saw Megadeth & Lamb of God & had a blast! No bad seat in the house!!

Went to my first concert there finally and saw 3 Doors Down and Collective Soul. Excellent show with great sound and judging by the layout of the theatre seating, not really a bad seat in the house. For this event I was in section 4, row 26, seat 7 - straight away center stage! It turned out to be a great seat. The Parking Garage was worth the extra $10 and right across the street at the venue, as finding decent parking in the downtown area can be a trick.

Pretty fun when there are boxing tournaments there. I was so.eones corner man.

It was amazing this was my second time here and the sound was impeccable. I love the lights this time at the NF concert theyre literally blinding!

Loved seeing Rebelution here! So fun!

The venue is fine, but the food was so limited that you have to plan to eat before you go. The bar has long lines and also very limited selections.

What a fantastic venue! The seating arrangement is very well designed for EVERYONE to have an amazing experience. The sound system is great and with plenty of bars, we just sat a d enjoyed the show

Great venue for a show but the parking is a bit tricky and it’s a free for all once the show is over and everyone heads home! Bring some extra patience!

A great theater for concerts and comedy showsI have seen several artists here and each time the show and venue was great. Parking can be a pain, so leave early to plan for that.Seating is tiered but all levels have good views of the stage.In the small theater, music acts can get very loud, but isnt that why we pay to be here?

Drove to Phoenix to Comerica Theatre to take my daughters to a Why dont We concert. Theater is very nice, security is on point, the seats are comfortable, the checking of the tickets was fast and easy if you download the tickets. Overall great experience.

NXT was AWESOME both times I have taken my son!
