The Fox Theater - Pomona

This is a pretty decent music venue and if you get pit you will have a really good view of the artist. Parking is located across the street. We showed up about 30 minutes before doors opened and on this night there was still parking directly across the street but if it was full there seems to be other lots close but. It was $30 for a Friday night show. The line to get in wasn't too long and door time was pretty accurate maybe 5/10 minutes late but no big deal. The security was pretty fast too. Basic security if you been to any concert recently. Take all your stuff out of your pocket and as long as you don't have anything suspicious you will be good to go. Merch was on the left and right side when you got in and there is a bar also right when you get in.I'm not sure if this is for every show but for this one there was a difference for general admission and general admission pit. We had pit tickets and this got you in the section right in front of the stage. There is a security guard who checks your ticket and you get a wristband so if you leave you can come back. There is also a bar right in this section which is nice so you don't have to leave. If you don't have pit tickets the next sections behind are all first come so if you want a closer and better view you would need to arrive right when doors open or earlier if it is a popular show. There are also seats upstairs. I didn't get to see how the view is from up there but the venue is not too big so I'm sure it is a great view up stairs and good for people who don't want to stand all concert and prefer to have a seat. The sound was good and as mentioned since we had pit tickets the view was really good. The one thing that I didn't like and can be an issue if maybe you are drinking a lot or just need to use the restroom, is that the only restroom was upstairs. Or if there was one downstairs I never saw it and no one directed me to those. They are located up stairs and are quite a mission once the venue gets packed. This venue is a little out of my way but if an artist I really wanted to see was only performing here I wouldn't hesitate to purchase tickets and come here again.

This venue is great for smaller intimate shows. It's on the older side but has some historic charm. I came with my sister to see Jesse McCartney and the concert was awesome!I can't say much about parking because we got dropped off. There was a long line of people already waiting to get in but it moved very fast once the doors opened at 7. There is a bar and merch booth right when you enter after passing security. We sat in the Reserved Loge seats which are located on the 2nd floor. The seats were surprising comfortable. I'd definitely recommend this section if you still want a great view but don't want to stand in the Pit all night.

This was my first time coming to a concert at this theater and it is a charming theater inside and I loved that it was smaller and easy to navigate. It is in the downtown area of the city. Before entering the concert they do a bag check and you go through a metal detector. I decided to grab a drink from the bar and the service at the bar was nice! The seats were so comfortable and spacious which I loved. The only downside was there was no where to put drinks except on the ground.

I've checked out this theater for both a DJ set and a fun drag show, and it was a a lot of fun! The place is spacious, so you have space to dance and enjoy yourself, plus you get great views of the stage from just about anywhere. I wasn't too excited when I saw the main DJ's set in the lobby area, but then I found out that the lounge inside is really cool. And I recently discovered there's an upstairs area in the lounge too, which just makes this awesome venue even better!

The Fox Theater is a great place to come and see a show. Though it isn't the most classy of places or venues, it's still really cool to come and checkout. For starters, if you are looking to park, park down the street in the spots that say 2 hour parking only. This is what I did and nobody fined or ticketed me, or towed my car. It was like two blocks away from the venue but I don't mind walking.The venue itself was very cool. There are two levels that offer viewing of the stage. If you get there early enough, you can walk over to the pit and get a wristband that allows you to get into that section of the venue. Keep in mind it is first come first serve. The only thing I did not like was that the stage is a little low so if you want a good view, you have to get up to the front or go to the rows behind the pit that are more elevated. Other than that, The Drums performed an amazing show! Absolutely sensational. The sound and everything was perfect and I'm glad I spent my New Years Eve getting to see them perform live with such veracity and energy. Additionally, their opener, 60 Juno, was also great! I cannot wait to see both of these performers again :)

When I Drive In Downtown Pomona, I Always See The Fox Theater. This Is A Cool And Nice Historic Theater That Has Great Shows And Performances. If People Are Driving Close By, I Would Recommend Them To Stop By This Place And Explore It

Just saw a band called Slowdive and I feel bad for them for deciding to book here because this was the worst live show I've been to in a long time (and I go to very many shows). We left early and will not be back. Reasons you should think twice before attending a show here: 1. Hot AF, no AC and is very stuffy. 2. Even if you have GA admission, they only give pit/floor to people that have no life and show up 5 hours before the band goes on. You literally have to arrive early and get a wristband. Get ready to fight for a 1 sq ft of space of standing in the bowl of the venue with a crappy view and security yelling at you to pack in tighter. 3. The sound was terrible. Not sure if that's the theaters fault or the bands, but whoever was in charge of that should be fired. 4. Legit thought I had the whole time- "if there was a fire how the F would we get out alive??"5. Pomona is a total dump. I know the theater has been there a long time and is nostalgic for some, but man, this town is just gross. Not worth anyone dumb enough to book here.

Saw 4 shows over the past 7 days and here's what I learned:PARKING - parking in front of the venue in the Chase parking lot is a rip-off. Park in the surrounding lots for $2. I found the parking lot off of 3rd st. on the east side of Garey Ave. which is a short walk across the street. Currently the first two hours are free and anything after 2 hours it gives you until 8 a.m. the next day and only charges you $2. There's also lots of 2 hour parking and yes the cops do check and give you a ticket or tow you if it goes past 2 hours. Currently the parking machine at this location is finicky and you have to apply the right pressure on the green button for it to work, but it does work. RESTROOMS - they're at the top of the stair case, there's usually a line for the women's restroom. Also, the door is either missing or doesn't lock on two of the stalls so get someone to hold the door closed for you.VENUE - there's an outdoor smoking area to the right, down stairs and also upstairs. Also, you need to pay extra for a wrist band to get to the floor or to sit in the balcony. General admission is for the tiered standing room only platforms and if you're short, you need to get there early to get at the front of the railing otherwise it's a gamble if you'll be able to see anything. I suggest standing along the railing towards the center. I hung out in the walkway quite a bit and only one out of four times did a security guard come by to clear the walkway.SHOWTIME - all four shows the doors were at 7, show started at 8 and headliner went on at 9. The line getting into the venue can be long and hold you up depending on the artist and how popular they are so a safe time to get there, be parked and in line is 7:40 p.m. the latest if you want to catch both the opener and headliner or to secure a spot for the best view. I only stayed to the end for one of the 4 shows and they cut the opener off at 8:40 ish and the headliner was cut off with no encore by 9:45 p.m. If the parking lot is empty or looks not full by 7:30 p.m. chances are there might be low attendance or everyone else is late. It's less stressful than seeing a show in L.A. and still a fun time. I noticed both the artists and the crowd are way more relaxed and nicer here versus L.A. venues of the same caliber. The vibe here is always fun/chill.

This place is great for small intimate mosh pit concerts yo!! Have a drink and Eslam!!

Came here on 01/26/24 to see Twin Tribes, Urban Heat, Vandal Moon & Nuovo Testamento. I've got to say I'm pleasantly surprised since the last time I was here. The place has undergone renovations and it looks beautiful inside. The set up was spacious and restrooms were well maintained. It was well ventilated and security/staff were friendly. I will definitely be back for another show.
