Tucson Arena

We had a great time seeing the Steve Miller Band! We had great seats and the venue is really great! Not a bad seat in the house! Only draw back is it really smells like dirty socks down on the main floor. Other than that it was a good time!

I can only rate the arena for hockey. As a hockey venue, it holds about 6500 and is shaped in a horseshoe. It's intimate enough and there isn't a bad seat in the house. I take a star off for not offering enough concession options.

Attended a preseason hockey game last night between the Arizona Coyotes and the Anaheim Ducks. Good game! Now about the Tucson Arena....1. The seats do not offer much room. It is hard to use the cup holders without knocking your drink out of it. 2. If you are tall, you will more than likely be bumping the person's seat in front of you the entire time.3. The concessions are HORRIBLE.....the cheese on the nachos and soft pretzels are absolutely disgusting. A plain pretzel is ok....the nachos are bland and stale. Not sure about any of the other food. 4. The bathrooms....suitable, and there are plenty. Not much of a wait at all.The parking around the facility has plenty of parking garages. But if they are full, which depending on the event they can fill up quickly...there is a main street within walking distance that does have street parking. Be careful with some of the side roads in the area as they are permit parking only on a daily basis from 8am to 10pm.

Came here to see the Steve Miller band in concert. While the Steve Miller Band sounded awesome, the major downfall was how sticky the floors were. At one point I felt like I was stuck to the floor, don't they ever clean this place?Other than that, the staff that we interacted with seemed pretty nice & helpful.

Went to see Matt Rife, the biggest joke was the TCC! No wonder nobody ever wants to come to tucson. Waited 45 minutes for a drink, when the show was over everyone had to leave out the same door, if you had to use the restroon..nope you had to go across the street. Buy merchandise 1 table outside 2 people working, out of everything! If you didn't patlrk on that side too bad walk around the whole convention center. Ridiculous, I'd rather drive to Phoenix!

I went to Cirque du Soleil Crystal with my kids and the show was amazing! All of the performers were impressive, from the ice skating to the trapize act. The rows of seating are cramped, as a caution to the tall folks out there. For some reason the cups and the cup holders aren't compatible. A nice woman in the parking lot we used informed my girlfriend there is a 'clear bag policy' which saved us a walk back to the car. Heads up ladies, bring your biggest zip lock. The performance was excellent and I would absolutely Cirque again!

Nice clean smaller size stadium, perfect size to feel like your close to the action regardless of seating location. Monster Jam was awesome! The 1.5 hour pit pass is a bit long for a 3 year old and you can't leave once your in!

It was the most best event so educational and spiritual love Jehovah!! For more info visit JW.org

Yikes. Came for the Atreyu/Ice Nine Kills/Black Veil Brides concert. Arrived at 615pm, with doors supposed to open at 530pm. Lines wrapped around several city blocks. Half an hour later, we discover we're in the wrong line, thanks to a very tiny sign only visible when you're standing next to it. Off to spend another 45 minutes in the proper line. All this coming after a 2 hour drive. Missed the first band. Headline band (Motionless in White) cancelled due to illness--no info provided by the venue about that. But thanks to the people in front of us who follow social media, for the heads up! Carabiner on your keychain? Can be used as a weapon, so into the garbage it went. Weed and smoking devices? Perfectly acceptable to bring in. Ultimately, just a mess to get into, with zero organization. Should've had some guidance in lines, visible signage, and employees better dispersed, versus all in one area doing one job (slowly). Venue is old, but after you've been there once, you know where to buy the good seats if you return. For the last band, the instruments weren't tuned correctly for the first couple of songs. Thankfully, someone recognized it and corrected it. $4 bottle of water (you can't keep the lid), $8 basic cocktail, $13 double cocktail. No paper towels in the bathroom, but the attendant was the nicest person I came across. The pro here is that you can get very close to the bands who are playing, which is great.

They instituted a "clear bags only" policy. But failed to tell any patrons. We all got turned away at the door and had to go hide our purses in our cars. It's their choice to put such a policy in place but why was it never communicated? I checked every email again and it's not in there. Not ok.
