MegaCorp Pavilion Concerts 2024-2025

This venue is horrible! They let you bring a clear bag inside, but they won’t allow you to put anything in it because they do not let you to bring ANYTHING in! No blankets etc. allowed to sit on. If it has rained recently, you will be sitting on a muddy lawn. You can’t bring any sealed food inside. You can’t bring a sealed water bottle inside. If you are thirsty, you have to pay them $5 for a small bottle of water and then they will remove the cap and give it to you with no cap. They say it’s a hazard and they don’t want things thrown. What?!? I’m not paying $5 for water to simply throw it. So you have to sit on the lawn with your water or pop bottle, with no way to set it down to prevent spilling. I recommend to bring your own spare bottle cap if you plan to drink water or pop. Also the lawn area for seating is filthy. There are broken sunglasses, pieces of trash, and other debris smashed into the lawn. I saw a broken glass marijuana pipe in the lawn seating! Additionally, they have jumbo screens but they are only used for advertising before the show starts. Once the concert begins, they turn off the jumbo screens; they don’t project the concert on the screens so you can’t get a good view. The music performance (the band Cake) was great, and there is a fabulous view of downtown Cincinnati. But the actual venue stinks. I will never attend this venue again. It was not a pleasant experience due to all the rules, restrictions, and unfriendly staff. I’ve already declined to attend this place again.

Visited MegaCorp Pavilion to see the 25th anniversary screening of Napoleon Dynamite and heard a talk by Efram Ramirez and John Hader. The tickets said the event began at 7 PM so we arrived at 6:30. Apparently that's when the doors opened so we stood around for 30 minutes. No big deal. The doors opened and we then had to wait until 8 PM for the movie to begin. Seating ended up being plastic folding chairs, like the kind you frequently see at weddings. They're comfortable for about ninety minutes then, no so much. I get that the place is a live music venue so comfortable seating isn't to be expected but that was very unpleasant. I'll go back to catch some live music but never anything seated again. My chiropractor thanks MegaCorp Pavilion for the additional business.

Nice place. General admission scheme reminds me of the old days. First come first serve for your spot. I was able to get right up to the barricade no problem. Acoustics were good but loud. Curiously there was a huge gap between the barricade and the stage. Even the singer of the headliner commented "you're all so far away" Outdoor smoking area (I do not smoke). Main drawbacks are not one chair in the place and drinks are outrageously expensive (I do not drink).

MegaCorp is a fairly spacious venue that has a main floor (filling about 300 people) and a upper floor for anyone who prefers to sit during their show (fills about 150). The venue includes a bar, food vendor, merch booth (if bands provide), and restrooms. The alcoholic beverages are rather expensive and the security are HIGHLY against crowd surfing and band/fan interaction.. However the venue does offer about everything you could need during a show.

Went to an indoor subtronics concert and stayed at nearby hotel so getting in and out was easy. We stood at about the very back and the view was still good. Drinks were $11 for a mixed drink, but they had several options with multiple ingredients and tasty. Beer was a little cheaper. There was never a line for drinks or bathroom. Security to get was a breeze- just walk through a metal detector.
