Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall Concerts 2025

Heyy everyone, I am back with another review. Recently I attended a concert with a dearest friend & visited the hall several months ago-both times were great! We were seated in two different areas and levels for the concerts, so there was a notable difference between the two! The first concert we sat in Section 320- row A- seats 15 & 16. The second (most recent) seats were Section 104- row B- seats 10 & 11. Definitely pay the extra cost for better seats as we had superb views and leaving out wasn’t too much of a hassle! The higher seats were veryyy tight and not easily accessible. On both occasions the check in process, alongside the staff members were nice however, needs better organization as everyone was bumping and rushing through.. The overall facility and bathrooms were clean. Drinks & food pricing are expensive yet expected. My only suggestion is to make sure they perform a adequate sound check as during certain periods/performances were supppperrrr blow your eardrums out loud. Also you were unable to hear some of the performers in true clarity. I certainly would return for future events!!

We visited Boardwalk Hall for concert of Anna Lapwood playing the largest pipe organ in the world. The instrument is truly majestic and the sound is beautiful. Yet, we couldn’t understand anything what Anna was saying into the microphone, because of the very strong echo. It is possible that this happens only in specific seating areas- we were sitting in section 120. I guess sitting directly in front of speakers would be better.

Headed down to AC extra early assuming there was going to be traffic. Got there at 5 for the HIP HOP ALLSTAR SHOW, doors were to open 6 and the show to start at 7. Entered from the garage at 5:30 thinking food was going to be available, nope. Security didn't let us through til almost 6:30 and the show didn't start till 8 with no explanation given. This will be my first and last time going to this venue. Otherwise it was a great show and the seats were better than expected!

1st time visitor to Jim Whelan's Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, NJ. Went here on Saturday, May 11, 2024, for a Mother's Day concert. Silk, Dru Hill, SWV, and Kem performed. The show started at 7p.m. abd they were only a couple minutes past 7 p.m. getting started. I couldn't believe the size of this place. It's a huge arena. There is parking underneath the building which was very convenient. We paid $40 to park, and we entered the building and took escalators up to the first floor, never having to go outside where it was quite chilly. Upstairs, security had us put our handbags on the table as we walked through metal detectors. We had floor seats in section 2, which was dead center from the stage. They had several staff to assist people in finding their seats. Upstairs on the 2nd floor were all of the concession stands, for food and drinks. And the restrooms were on the 2nd level as well. There was a vendor who was selling jewelry and she had some pretty nice stuff. There was a Smoothie stand, a popcorn stand and pretzels were available too. I saw a PJ Whelians, and other places that sold food but I didn't make any food purchases because I wasn't hungry. Later, I wished that I had at least purchased a bottle of water because I got very thirsty during the show. It was a great space and I believe it was a sold out show. Certain ticket purchases were eligible for the VIP AFTERPARTY, which ran from 11PM-3AM. Our tickets were eligible, but we were ready to leave when the show was over so we didn't bother. We purchased our tickets through Ticketmaster for the show at $160.00 each. We stayed in the Hampton Inn in Absecon for 2 nights, coming down on Friday, 5/10 and checking out on Sunday, 5/12. It was only a 15 minute drive to Boardwalk Hall and a great show. We tried to get brunch at Kelcey's on Sunday but they had a line outside the door, so we decided against it because it was lightly raining already! ALL IN ALL, a nice Mother's Day and the first time I've been to A.C. in years!

Good experience, Kat (hilarious) but I must admit seats R toooo tight (ima big dude) access in/ out ok considering 14k people. After show everyone pours into Caesars💥. Believe me!! Recommend!
