Riverside Municipal Auditorium Concerts 2024-2025

Visited for the Door's tribute band. This spot is great! Lots of room on the floor in front of the stage to stand and move around;however, they do offer seating if you buy a ticket to sit. Had two stations for buying drinks and line moved very quickly. Looking forward to visiting for another concert. Only gave 4 stars due to I did not use restrooms and they needed a few more trash cans around, everyone was throwing their cans and cups all over the floor.

Last night me my fiance and my friend and his fiance went to a concert here, and we drove 2+ hours to get here. As we got to the venue to go up to our balcony seating, which we reserved 2+ months ago, and we paid $600+, we see that one of the seats was broken. We brought it up to one of the staff that the seat was broken and the manager talked to me and my friend, they told us what they can do. What was their best resolution?? Go downstairs in the GA area, stand there the entire show, and give us tickets to another show. I do not want to come back here. We were just shocked by what we had just heard. After they said this to us, my friend told them that if we do go downstairs in the GA area, nobody can sit here, and you may not resell our seats. The manager rolled his eyes and kept giving us an attitude. Very unprofessional of them. We go down to the GA and we see couple of employees walking around with a tablet and on the screen it says "Seat upgrade", then we asked them for us to be seated in those seat upgrade areas after explaining to them our situation. They told us they would not he able to do so until the show began, and it was sold out. The show started, and there were a lot of empty seats where the seat upgrade people would have sat. If you ever have your favorite band/artist coming here, I suggest you really think about it before making the drive. I would not come back to this venue ever again, even if my favorite performer (s) come here. Very bad experience, we didn't enjoy our time and did not enjoy the concert. The staff could have done way more than they offered us, horrible venue and even more horrible staff. (I have provided photos of the empty "upgrade seats" and the broken chair.)

This place is great for concerts. It's not too small, but also not huge. The acoustics in there are phenomenal, and you also feel like there is a great view from every angle. Los of bars in the surrounding area where one can get a few drinks before the concert.

Small intimate venue. Recommend they could improve drink sales by cordoning off an area for VIP that would allow them to move through the crowd easier. Also could offer drink service to VIP.

Great venue here. Drinks are crazy overpriced, so make sure to get your pre party done before you enter. Concert was great and you have more tha. Enough room to get your hoodie on. If you are a cannabis smoker there are many areas to do so....lol
