Roberta OchoaSeptember 24, 2013If staying at an area hotel for your show, The Doubletree has a $6 round trip shuttle that drops you off right at the box office! Oh yeah...and their signature chocolate chip cookies!!
Manuel VasquezAugust 31, 2014Lots of parking. There is a good walk to get into the venue but the grounds are nice and clean with a good lil view of Irvine, always a good time at the Verizon Amphitheater.
Abdulrahman FetyaniJuly 21, 2015Very great concert venue, the organization wasn't that good but we have fun in 5 Seconds of summer concert here 😍🎸
- Lindsay MarsicekJune 4, 2014For lawn seating, arrive early since it's first come first serve. It is quite the hike up to the terrace and lawn seating especially since everyone literally runs to get the best seats.
- 🌸Sela SalinasOctober 13, 2013Prepare to walk, wear comfortable shoes and bring a jacket because as soon as the sun sets it gets cold (it is an outside venue).

Erika BAugust 30, 2011awesome venue...loved all the different food and drink booths, even tho they were pricey. and the walk to the seats wasnt really all that bad. plan on sitting in traffic for an hour tho on the way out- VH1July 22, 2010There are a ton of places to grab food at the Irvine Spectrum Entertainment Center--including Yardhouse, PF Changs, Rubys Diner, Javier’s and California Pizza Kitchen. – Team Live Nation
Karen BurchJuly 13, 2014Beware of hammer women in white their bitchy as hell even when treated with politeness.. Also look out for traffic cones in the middle of the roads
Jeff TroxellMay 26, 2011Been here 3 times and well worth it. Beer prices suck and the pat down at the entrance takes forever. Watch out for the steep incline if your sitting in terrace or lawn seating.
Lawn seats! Too bad the venue bathroom lines are always a mile long. Men's restrooms just become totally gender neutral.
Ramon MontoyaAugust 26, 2014Nice venue, lawn is pretty big. If you have lawn though, be prepared to walk a bit lol
Derek GentryAugust 11, 2014Environment is good. People are way too drunk to care what they are doing. But it shouldn't get in the way of a good time.
Sally AllisonApril 22, 2015Eat before you go...then again when you are done at the show. $10. crappy meals.
Melissa 💋September 7, 2014Free parking, but park near the exit if you're not planning on bailing early.
Ryne SweeneyAugust 2, 2010Buy a ticket for the grass. You can get to the lower levels by waiting for people to rush in groups. Security let's you in because they don't want to get trampled.- Daniel CruzSeptember 2, 2013Best venue with a view ever! #LilWayne #2Chainz #T.I #AmericasMostWantedTour!!!
Richard DaskamJuly 28, 2013Don't stop at the first bathroom! There are plenty of them once you head toward the seats
Michael AntonioJuly 5, 2013Preferred parking lot: helps you get in to the concert faster but takes forever to get out afterwards!!- Live NationFebruary 19, 2010There are a ton of places to grab food at the Irvine Spectrum Entertainment Center--including Yardhouse, PF Changs, Rubys Diner, Javier’s and California Pizza Kitchen.
Phillip KruseOctober 18, 2011I love this place! the grass could be less steep though...my legs were waaaay sore
El GJuly 11, 2010Parking is easy but its a trek to the actual venue. Bring snacks and drinks so you can "tailgate" before having to pay 13 bucks for a beer.
Anthony C.August 17, 2014Ridiculous long across the parking lot to get in, instead of letting us walk up to the main gates. Plus they wouldn't let us bring in our blankets...
Alcohol sales close at 10 pm. Get your final beers in before then!
DeeMagicGurlOctober 10, 2014Always check your tires before you leave. Lots of glass in the parking lot.
freecreditscore.comSeptember 9, 2012Swing by our booth for free t-shirts and sunglasses while supplies last!
Kevin BOctober 6, 2014Live nation is horrible, we got all the way to the gate before we were told that we couldn't bring a blanket in. The gate supervisor was very rude and condescending. Never again live nation

Michael VillarAugust 4, 2013This place really needs to do something about bathrooms. Either there are people pissing on the fences, or ridiculous lines.
Jen R.August 23, 2014What's good here? Nothing. The parking situation is a disaster, there aren't enough bathrooms, and the amphitheater itself doesn't enhance the music.
Jim DineenAugust 22, 2010They say they'll kick you out for peeing in the bushes... But they won't. No lines and beautiful flowers!

"When I went, the musical was a movie of a musical, which was interesting. Nice theater, part of UCI. Good spot to see shows. Affordable."

"Some of the best unique tacos you can find in OC! The 3 tacos for $15 is a bargain, considering the quality and innovation of the tacos they make. The shrimp tamarind was my favorite & is a must have!"
