    Sunday pass

    Came here for the Silver Scream Con. Talk about celebrity galore....Matthew Lillard, John Kassir aka the Cryptkeeper, Kane Hodder and so many more There was a lot of vendors, selling horror, theme items, and keepsakes. Even horror tattoos. Yes a tattoo studio at this event! Perfect for the spooky and macabre artwork! I definitely know for a next event to get there hours early. The line from Matthew Lillard was the longest, hours for waiting and honestly wasn't worth it. Although it was a chance to meet a celebrity, I will be better prepared for next time

    We came here for an Iron Maiden concert this was our second time seeing them here and it did not disappoint not only is Iron Maiden one of the best bands ever but this venue is great for concerts. We were in section 109 row A and the view was incredible we had a side view but we were so close to the stage we could really see everything and it was so incredible. The crew working were incredible we had the VIP pass and they helped us with everything it was such and incredible night and I am looking forward to seeing another show here!

    It was at least 30 minutes because the registers didn't work. No options but you can't bring in outside food.

    For our cheer event the bathrooms were disgusting. Toilets that don't flush. There's a bunch of people when you walk in making sure you don't bring in outside food or drinks but no staff cleaning. We waited in 15 minute lines for unhealthy, gross food only to be told registers were down. What a joke. Do better DCU.

    This whole top half is an obstruction.  You couldn't even see the screens or platforms to the back.

    This was my first experience here and unfortunately it wasn't what I was hoping for. Tran-Siberian Orchestra was playing. We got seats at section 233. I reviewed the listings in both Seat Geek as well as Ticketmaster and neither of these mentioned one thing about an obstructed view. After I was already there, and seated did we realize the reality. These were $100 tickets with a view that I couldn't believe would be acceptable for even $15. More than half was obstructed by the 3rd floor and on top of that you could WHISPER to the person next to you and hear each other with ease. You guys couldn't even put a set of speakers up there to at least provide some sort of concert experience? We drove 2 hours to get there and I brought a party of 7. I've been to over 50 venues and more than 100 concerts. This is by far the worst seating I've ever seen ever... anywhere. The band was awesome as usual, but never again will I make the trip to DCU.

    This place is so small but I kind of prefer it that way. You're close to the stage no matter where you sit. It's also easy to navigate around. We went for Disney on Ice. Man do they know how to get you with the prices of the items to purchase. They were charging 35 for a pic with a fake Ariel. Just outrageous demands for such cheap items. The show itself was ok. The best part was the Frozen piece of it. The back up skaters were doing better than the main characters. Take in consideration this is an adults perspective so probably not the one to consider when going to something like Disney on Ice.

    BEWARE OF FALSE ADVERTISING!

    I was very pleased to be taking my two young sons to the Marvel Universe Live show on August 27, 2015. Unfortunately, I have to report that I was very disappointed with the service I received in the DCU Center Ticket Box Office. After waiting in a lengthy line with two anxious boys, I really would have appreciated a little courtesy. But I was in for quite a rude awakening. In my hand I held a coupon (SEE ATTACHED 1) stating that I would "SAVE $10 ON OPENING NIGHT TICKETS! GOOD ONLY Thu. AUG. 27 at 7:00pm". I presented the coupon and was told by the clerk that, "This is not a coupon, it's just a promo." I pointed to the text on both sides of the coupon, showing the large bold font, clearing reading "SAVE $10 ON OPENING NIGHT TICKETS!" I asked the clerk if it was Thursday, August 27, Opening Night. He confirmed. I asked him how I can redeem the written offer as advertised on the coupon. He repeated that I was not holding a coupon. I asked him if I didn't meet some sort of condition or restriction was being applied. He only repeated that I didn't have a coupon. Although I was really annoyed, I realized that I was holding up a long line of anxious children, including two of my own. I did not feel like arguing or further delaying the line of folks behind me. I took out my wallet and asked for the price of a ticket. The clerk said $21. I presented my employment badge (which entitles me to 10% off at the DCU box office) and I mentioned the discount to the clerk. The clerk became visibly annoyed and rolled his eyes. He said, "The only discounts available are with vouchers." I held the coupon back up to the window and said, "I'm holding the voucher, it says $10 off!" The clerk stepped back away from the window and came back with another clerk, whom I assumed was a supervisor. He was speaking to her from behind the glass and appeared to be explaining my issue with her. The supervisor then stepped up to my clerk's computer/register and started to type something. Without looking at me or addressing me in any way what so ever, she then turns around and the clerk completes the transaction. He took my debit card from the slot beneath the soundproof plexiglass and hands me the receipt to sign. The receipt said $21.00. That was the full, regular advertised price of the ticket (SEE ATTACHED 2). The DCU Center is guilty of false advertising, very poor customer service and dishonoring their discount agreement with [The company I work for]. The DCU Center box office is guilty of negligent misrepresentation, breach of contract, breach of good faith and fair dealing and unfair competition. As such, DCU Center has been unjustly enriched as a result of this wrongful conduct. I hope to never do business with the DCU Center again. I wonder if there are others out there that experienced similar unethical marketing practices by the DCU Center? Class action suit anyone???

    We came for Avatar the Last Airbender concert and it was really pretty inside. The amount of seats…read morekind of surpassed my expectations from how small the entrance looked from the outside. They serve soda from the Polar brand because, hello you're in Worcester, home of Polar. Popcorn is alright, it's not popped fresh like some theaters, but rather, prepackaged. Bar drink menu was decent. Staff is decent. The stage was smaller than I expected. Parking is terrible though. When you go to a packed concert like this, all the streets are filled and even the parking garage nearby is filled from top to bottom. Best to go early to find parking even if it's not good.

    This is a classic and beautiful theater, built between 1902 and 1904 in the Renaissance style. It's…read morebeen modernized and updated with $32 million in restorations, and I think the theater looks great. A few years ago, I enjoyed a guided tour of the theater, which provided a great background if its rich history highlighting the entertainment offered from vaudeville to contemporary performances. This evening's show was the comedic performance of Clue! I've also seen Jerry Seinfeld, Swan Lake, and many other great performances here. The tours are offered periodically, and they have a very active event calendar, you can check it out on their website https://thehanovertheatre.org/event/ for upcoming events. Compared to Broadway's theaters, the comfortable seats offer palatial legroom, and the Hanover seats 2,300 people, almost 20% larger than the largest theater on Broadway. The theater offers attendees beautiful architectural details, a seven-foot-tall chandelier and the Mighty Wurlitzer Organ with 2,495 pipes (no I didn't count those). I look forward to returning here very soon!
