Long story short- James Reilly from TicketCity reached out to me indicating that it slipped through the cracks somehow, was a mixup, and promised me a full refund. Customer service is so important and I'm glad James came through. He was awesome. I will definitely be purchasing another set of tickets for when CONAN comes to Austin when we're all safe and healthy.

They then proceeded to gaslight us and tell us it was on our end and need to call our bank It's like they got to the end of their troubleshooting sheet and if all fails send them to bank. They refused to escalate this to tech to review or to management They refused to provide a complaints line or contact information Then I come online to see them flamed constantly by others. What a garbage company What a disgrace to be Peter Norosky, vice president of customer service.

One thing to keep in mind though, is that if it's a very popular act, there's only four dozen parking spaces out front. 5 informative photos included.

Here's a polished Yelp review that keeps your balanced, honest tone:…read more This is a great venue, especially if you enjoy smaller, more intimate concert settings. One of the biggest advantages is that there really isn't a bad seat in the house. Even if you're farther from the stage, you still feel close to the performance. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the drink selection was solid with plenty of alcohol options available. The biggest downside is the food. There was only one food truck during our visit, so your options are very limited. Another thing to be aware of is the parking. The venue provides parking recommendations, but depending on where you park and whether you have VIP access, you may end up on the wrong side of the venue and have a much longer walk to the entrance than expected. Overall, it was a fun experience, and I'd definitely come back. Just eat beforehand and double-check your parking location if you don't have VIP access.

I recently saw Sting in concert at the Moody Amphitheater in Waterloo Park, and I can honestly say…read moreit was one of the best live music experiences I've had in Austin. This venue is absolutely stunning. The combination of open green space, modern design, and downtown skyline views creates a unique atmosphere that feels both intimate and expansive at the same time. It's the kind of place where you can spread out on the lawn or sit closer to the stage and still feel completely immersed in the show. The acoustics are incredible--clear, balanced, and powerful without being overwhelming. Every note and lyric came through perfectly, which made an already amazing performance even more memorable. I also love how seamlessly the amphitheater blends into Waterloo Park. It doesn't feel like a typical concert venue--it feels like a thoughtfully designed outdoor experience where music, nature, and the city all come together. Whether you're seeing a legendary artist like Sting or just catching a local show, I highly recommend attending a concert here. Moody Amphitheater is truly one of Austin's gems and a must-visit for music lovers.

Overall, we had a fantastic experience at the Moody Center for Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar…read moreFestival this past weekend :) ! This was my first time attending a concert here, but my sister's second time since she attended her first concert for Alex Horan earlier this year. We felt that the Moody Center was very modern, considering that it broke ground in 2019 and became open to the public in 2022. It is located centrally and right on the premises of UT Austin. There doesn't seem to be a bad seat in the house. At most, from certain seats, you might not be able to see the full jumbo screens because some of the panels above might be blocking them. But overall, you can still see the performers on stage, and the acoustics are excellent that you can hear the music from wherever you sit :) ! But if you really want to make sure that your view is not obstructed at all, I would recommend purchasing your tickets through an online vendor like StubHub, so you can see the stage view from certain seats that you are considering. Guests can bring in either one clear bag (maximum 14" x 14" x 6") or one non-clear small clutch (maximum 5" x 9" x 1.5"). The venue is very well-equipped with vending machines for portable chargers and ear plugs for concert-goers who have forgotten these at home, or who do not have these on hand. We brought our power banks and our own ear plugs. So we didn't have to use these vending machines. Although we had eaten beforehand and didn't need to eat when we got there, the food options seem plentiful and pretty reasonably priced for a concert venue. We really liked that there was a Moody Center female employee who was stationed in the ladies' restroom to make sure that the restroom line flowed smoothly, and that the restroom was kept relatively clean. We would imagine the same took place with a Moody Center male employee in the gentlemen's restroom. All of the Moody Center employees were very friendly and courteous, from security to food services. Furthermore, the booth vendors who were showcasing guitars or guitar supplies were really nice and open to answering any questions anyone had, regardless of whether they were avid guitar players themselves, or people who didn't know much about guitars. My sister and I don't know how to play the guitar. But we really loved the positive vibe and upbeat ambiance from guitar enthusiasts all around us :D ! Although we know that the Guitar Center displayed their exhibit specifically for Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival this past weekend, we are aware that these kinds of exhibits depend on the artist or musician who is performing. So we certainly don't expect these grand showcases to be for every concert or show we attend here in the future. For concert-goers who are able-bodied and ambulatory, we do like the fact that Moody Center is pretty easy to get to if you get dropped off just a few blocks away, or if you walk from a nearby hotel (granted that you traveled in from out of town for the concert). This totally helps since parking right in the structure can be a bear, just like at any venue that gets bottlenecked with traffic! For concert-goers who need special accommodations, such as wheelchair access, the floors in the Moody Center seem pretty smooth and wheelchair-friendly. I'm not sure about the seats though. We will definitely come back here again for future concerts in Austin :) !
