Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre

Came for the Xscape concert and was a bit disappointed. The concert didn't start on time and it was very hot. With it being so hot, the water should've been moderately priced. Not price gouging priced at $9. Xscape was horrible and we left early. Our favorite acts were everyone before Xscape. The only time I would return is when it's cooler. During the hot months just isn't it.

Cricket, AkChin, taking stick...I don't know how many names it's been through but I have a love hate with it. Tickets are pretty cheap when I purchase through my credit card company entertainment. It's an open amphitheater and free parking is available. We've never had issues with parking and I usually just do the lawn seats. I like being able to get up and move around without bothering anyone else. I will not go in the summer but if it's 90 and under it's a nice concert spot. There are plenty of food vendors which yes, overpriced but to be expected at an event.

The venue itself is a 3-4, about average, nothing special. Pretty simple and basic. The pricing is a 1. I'm already used to being ripped off at any event, but this easily doubled it, even compared to much glitzier places. One standard beer and one non-premium mixed drink was over $44.32 with a regular 20% tip.We had VIP access so I can't rate the general entry/service stuff. They did have good, calm, helpful security people and staff inside. Bathrooms were again, just ok, not bad, not great. A couple of broken sink faucets, slightly dirty (before the show).

Horrible, this place is a hot mess. Two out of the few shows that I have had to come here for have either gotten cancelled or stopped midway. Just recently, one of the pipes burst during 21 Savage's set and they cancelled the rest of his concert. Boo.It's also way too hot for them to be hosting outdoor concerts in the middle of summer in Arizona as there is not enough shade. I refuse to visit again.

A nice place to watch a concert. Parking was easy as was entering the place. Leaving was just as easy....although we did leave a little early to beat the crowd. Venue was clean and seemed to be good seats all around. Grass was nice to sit on. Beers prices are ridiculous...$22 for a 16oz....sadly that is normal I guess. I'd see another concert here. After the sun went down, it was not too bad for a Phoenix, August night.

Absolutely amazing concert! My very first in Arizona as a newbie. The stars were aligned the energy was right. The temperature was very comfortable. There was a heavy breeze. In addition to the multiple fans mounted and cooling stations set up throughout the venue. The drinks were pricey however, the staff at the counters were patient and helpful.Lots of dancing, lots of good conversation and stories! Is the temperature starts to cool? I'd love to try the lawn area. There's also concession stand set up close to all seating. Fantastic place!

Free parking and friendly staff. Really is no bad seat in the venue. Lawn is spacious and still has great views. Just be careful with the ants!

It was very hot, not gonna lie. But they had tons of fans and misters to kind of help with the heat. And for reference, it was 107°. I'm actually honestly surprised that Phoenix has an open amphitheater, especially in the summer. Like this heat can be very dangerous, but overall there was tons of water, and it got more tolerable as the sun went down, thankfully. I saw lovely Avril Lavigne live and all time low. Two of my favorite bands. I would hundred percent recommend seeing her live. Although next time, I probably would prefer a indoor venue in the summer because the heat just drained the life out of me

They seem to be getting a bad stick here, but I actually love this place. There's loads of space, you have multiple seating and/or distance from stage options. There are vendor stands throughout the venue. The entry lines usually move quickly as well to get you inside. Only two downsides. Food and drink menus are limited. And Historically, you could bring your own blanket to sit on. With the new ticket options through live nation, bringing your own items seems to be more limited. Otherwise, I like the venue. Bathrooms are plentiful and clean. Parking and exit after event has improved significantly over the last few years as well. Give it a try! It's fun!

This venue is the worst. Parking is awful. Not enough attendants, so people park outside striped stalls which blocks traffic getting out and it takes hours If you have Lawn seats , the sound in the back is awful and you can't even see the screens. Worst venue in the Valley.
