Fred Kavli Theater

"Upon entry they had some folks in bright blue shirts running the magnatromiters. That's an airport style metal detector. I asked if they allow off duty police officers to carry their weapon into the venue. I was told no. Is this true? A would be shooter might find this a known undefended target. You pay your police for what they are trained to do on or off duty."

"The theater is great! We saw PMJ there and the sound was fantastic! Seats are comfortable, bar is typically overpriced. The biggest complaint I have is the steep parking fee."

"Came here for the Dr Jordan Peterson show … for $200 a ticket, plus $8 parking, next time I will wait and watch the lecture on YouTube in my comfy recliner. We had Row E seats right in the middle… I’m 5’3 and at 125lbs my hubby is 6’2 180. The seats were horrible, tiny tiny narrow, uncomfortable, none reclining, no arm rest movement, do not go here is you have a bad back or neck or anything that hurts.. we were like sardines. The check in/security point was an awful set up, they don’t have VIP access until you walk in… so you stand in line with everyone else, and wait as long as everyone else… usually there’s a VIP line., that’s why we paid like $50 more. The bar was a joke, they let you take drinks into the theatre but there absolutely no drink/cup holders so you basically have to chug it or hold it and elbow the person next to you to sip it. Then we get inside, there’s no structure like everyone walks like a herd of cows and is asking where their seats are and what door to take .. very unorganized. The content of the show was great but to pay this much these uncomfortable seats was horrible! Never going to a show here again."

"Seeing REO Speedwagon. Felt very comfortable booking the tickets as the venue required proof of vaccination or recent COVID negative test as well as mascaras at all times during the show unless actively eating or drinking. To our surprise quite a few people were not wearing masks and there was no one reinforcing the use of masks inside the theatre. Will think twitch before booking this venue again."

"Prince 4U Symphony was remarkable!!! The sound quality was great compared to other sound systems in VTA County! The lighting and visual effects created a wonderful show. The bartenders were friendly! We really appreciated the staff that guided you to your seat! Would definitely attend this venue again for future events!! PS- Bring cash for parking garage it was $6-8"
