Tingley Coliseum

We came for GON & had the most amazing experience. The grounds were nice & the way the venue was setup so people could flow & you could easily get around was much appreciated.The event itself was one of many. There was so much going on sound you, on top of great food & tribal dancing everywhere. It was truly a moving experience.My favorite part was all of the great people we met that I'll cherish forever. The vendors were funny & friendly, their performers as well, & the people were amazing. Everyone was so nice it warmed your heart.

*RECOMMEND**11/2023:I have visited Tingley Coliseum for a few events over the years.  This visit I was here for the Perez vs. Villa boxing event (VIP Style). *Stadium style seating and also upgraded seating for VIPs*Food and adult beverage places available.  Cash accepted, debit/credit card too*Ample parking available, but of course, there's a fee (price fluctuates depending on the event you're attending) &Area is well lit for night events (but always travel with a buddy)*Restrooms are hit or miss (Go in early, restrooms are clean)Be safe and enjoy your event in the Tingley Coliseum

Was here for the low class car show and the show was awesome, place was clean and the restroom were clean and the food concession stand were awesome. There was cars inside and outside of the coliseum so can't wait for next year car show here.

Terrible venue. The only reason it got 2 stars is the concert was great. First, getting in is cumbersome and difficult. Traffic backs up because of the parking situation and two lines taking money for parking. Then when you get to the parking booth, they give you a sheet of paper saying basically you need a clear bag. Would have been nice to know this when we purchased tickets so we could plan accordingly. The metal detector situation is such that long lines form to get people through. Seemed they didn't have enough staff available. Then, get inside and it is sweltering hot and humid. Very uncomfortable. I know they said they just upgraded the HVAC systems. Wonder what is was like before. Journey was awesome though I will not be returning for a concert in Tingley again. Just too much trouble. Our experience on the previous Sunday at Rio Rancho Events Center was totally opposite of what we experienced to TIngley. Tingley is an embarrassment to Albuquerque.

We had floor tickets to Bob Seger and boy they had us packed in like sardines. You had to stand up for anyone to walk in front of you. I passed two men's restrooms (both ways leaving the floor) before I got to the women's restroom, which I thought was odd. There should be twice as many restrooms for women. There isn't a lot of room to walk when there is a beer line on the right and bathroom line on the left. Not my first choice for a concert venue but it worked out okay. The sound was good for the concert, which was nice. Tingley isn't known for its awesome acoustics.

This location has been around for a long time. It can be a great venue for concerts depending on how they configure the stage. The concessions seem to be confusing for the workers. I got two different answers to my question. At on point they were going to send me to another location then discovered they could to it at the location I was at. I am thinking that it is a training issue. Staff is not very friendly.

Old af and probably not ADA compliant. I try to be forgiving of older structures, but when Tingley Coliseum's webpage boasts "radical upgrades", surely they are referencing the restrooms and that's all. They tout this to be a "legendary" venue yet it is a dreadful trek in and out for a major concert. The seats are really what put me over the edge. These chairs are sized for small children, not grown adults in 2019. My one bad knee had no chance so I opted to stand through the two hour set. In the words of Sheryl Crow, "this ain't no disco"!

The chairs are small so we get bench seats! We went to the monster truck show and it was great. The food is always expensive but what do you expect! They have pizza, burgers, nachos, popcorn, snow cones, hot dogs and the list goes on. My son had a blast at the show and we will be back!

Tingley Coliseum is a joke. The line for parking went for miles and was backed up on the freeway at 4:00 PM. The show we were going to see started at 7PM so we were lucky we left early. There weren't any traffic controllers and the wait was long. Once inside the coliseum it was a cramped corridor with people cramming inside because they make you wait to get in until they open the doors for everyone. They need to open the doors earlier so people can enter when they arrive, it'd go so much better. I didnt even want to buy anything because the lines were so dang long because everyone got inside at the same time. Pretty dumb! We got to our seats and sat down, only to find our knees crammed into the seats in front of us. You pay extra for a seat back but you are crammed in and can't move! You have to stand up every time someone walks in front of you and once all the people are seated, for get it!! It is sooooo hot in there we were sweating profusely (and I was in a short summer dress.) People were leaving half way through the show because of the conditions at Tingley Coliseum. The concert was the only good thing about this place but your head and neck are going to hurt because of the seating issues. There are large columns blocking your view of the large monitors if your seated in the vicinity of one of those. We wont be going again until they have replaced those seats and give people a few inches to move! I experienced back pain and a migraine the following day, its that bad! I rated it one star for the entertainment only...Dwight Yoakam, his band and crew they get 10 stars!!

I will never go back to Tingley Coliseum. Getting in was a hassle, parking is $10 after paying over $100 for the concert ticket. Was given a paper saying only 4x6 bags would be allowed in so I put all essentials in my pockets only to see every woman carrying in a bag, even large ones. Seating is terrible with no room for your legs and you end up squished right up to your neighbor which is awkward if a stranger. Beer lines are so long it is not even worth trying. Air is smoke filled giving a distorted view.
