The Theater at Madison Square Garden

"I think the process of getting into MSG is dated. Most venues will have you go through security and scan your ticket and then can go find your seat. MSG, had me go through security and then stand in another line that passed security to scan my ticket for me to get to my seat. And the tickets line blocked one of the vendors selling merchandise. He had no sales because no one could see it with the line being so long. The process was too long and doesn't need to be. But other than that great venue, great sound system and friendly enough staff."

"Great venue but .... Show started at 8:30pm. People were still arriving at 9:30pm not knowing where their seats were blocking our view and many others. Then other people were sitting in the wrong seats as others arrived, getting staff involved blocking us and interrupting our enjoyment of the performances. Why is this venue different from others? You are not allowed to enter when the ball or puck is in play at MSG. It is a free for all here. On Broadway once the doors are closed that's it. I understand a restroom need but these people are coming "very late" with no consequence. We were trying to enjoy a comedy show which you need to see and hear to get the comedy. Do better."

"It has been a while since I've been to live, professional fights. The last time was over 20 years ago in Philly at the Blue Horizon, which has since closed down. This was at the theater at MSG, and the venue is big enough to have a nice crowd but small enough where there wasn't really a bad seat in the house. The food was a little better than standard arena food. The security was tight, and they remained polite and professional. The bathrooms were clean for an arena, although there was a constant line. The best thing was it really wasn't a long walk from the lot to the venue or from the venue doors to the seating area. We would return for fights here, no question."

"With the construction of the area around Madison square garden it's hard to find the entrance. But once you go in the staff is very organized and it's easy to go in with or without a bag. It's faster if you don't have a bag with you as you go thru security. Once inside there are a few places to purchase a drink, two singles or one double. We were on the section 200 and it's very close to the stage."
