Same as I remember from back in the 70s. Good acoustics and much cleaner these days
Then again, I've never been to a "dry" concert before either.
Once the concert started, security and the ushers were nonexistent. Groups of fans were crowding the corners of the stage, blocking the view of seated fans. Multiple times, the seated fans had to get up, go find security, and ask them to do their jobs, and clear out the people blocking the view. I've never been to a concert that didn't have security standing with their backs to the stage.
Very beautiful historic building. The acoustics were not as good as most concert venues. At times difficult to understand lyrics due to echoing. But over all the Philly Pops and the vocalists were superb Oct. 7, 2017.
CONS-no concessions, VERY small seats, seems to be poorly run.
We had tickets for Yes featuring ARW on 9/30, and I was trying to find info on the venue. Since Patriots Theater is run by the state of NJ, its website is as badly laid out and uninformative as the rest of the NJ.gov sites. And the Facebook and Google review pages provided little help, specifically about concessions.
I called the number for the theater repeatedly, but no one picked up.
We get there, and find out there are no concessions at all. The only source of water is a drinking fountain downstairs. I asked one of the ushers why they missed the opportunity to sell food and drink to approximately 1100 people, and she basically said that Chris Christie runs the place, so what do you expect?
Just smuggle in some bottled water under your jacket, if you plan on attending a show here.
However, great concert-fantastic sound, beautiful venue.
Enjoyed the Philly Pops play Broadway. Beautiful theater, ample free parking. Great acoustics. Underutilized State facility.
PROS-really outstanding sound, great atmosphere
Great sound. Parking was free. The seats are narrow and old and there are no concessions.
This place is a metaphor for the state of New Jersey itself-a beautiful place, run by incompetents.
