    Having a blast!
    Diane W.

    We went to see The Romantics, Christopher Cross, and Toto at the Shoreline last Saturday. We have been to this venue several times before. The issues we've had in the past, at the Shoreline, are the parking lots and exiting the parking lot after the concert was over. It can take you at least an hour to get out of that chaotic parking lot depending on where you park. The other issue that I have had are the seats. The seats are not cushioned and are hard. If you have back issues, then I would recommend a portable padded seat cushion to bring with you. When we purchased these tickets, we made sure to buy premier parking and two "skip the line" Fast Lane passes. The premier parking cost $70 but I feel that it was worth it. We were exhausted after the concert and just wanted to get out of there and go home. We exited the parking so fast and without any problems. I couldn't believe how quickly we were out of there. It only took about 5 minutes. The fast lane "skip the line" tickets were $13 per person. We didn't have to wait there either, we just walked right in after the security check. Both upgrades were worth it. Our seat location couldn't have been better. We were in section 102 in row C. We were so close and had an excellent view. There were some technical issues with the sound, but that got sorted out. All three bands were excellent. Toto was amazing. We had a fabulous time and met some really nice people sitting next to us and behind us. All in all, it was a great night.

    I have been coming to concerts at Shoreline for a few years now - I love that there is parking nearby and that there are so many cool bands play ing. The lawn seating is comfortable if you rent a lawn chair, as low as $10 apiece. So great for summer concerts

    I love outdoor venues! I just feel more free and relaxed to enjoy the festivities. Latest Adventure at Shoreline was for Hilary duff! Nostalgia alert! She it's so authentically adorable and just ensure that we all felt so loved all night. It was a treat to listen to Bullet Proof live by the lovely La Roux! Great band! Also sending love to Jade LeMac! Amazing voice!

    Came here for the Hilary Duff "Lucky Me" tour. This is NOT an ADA compliant amphitheater. Getting around the food/drink areas in a wheelchair is not possible.Nothing is even, there is inconsistent bumps, cracks and even the bridges are not stable. The bathrooms were not ADA complaint as well. ONE bathroom was available and it it did not fit my friends wheelchair (standard size) The food options were expensive and the employees at the bars were super rude. I asked for some napkins and they just rolled their eyes at me and said no, they aren't available for non paying customers, even though I had paid for a drink. Although I had premier parking, the staff seemed confused on when the lots were going to open. Messy!!! Won't go back.

    Went here a couple days ago to see Evanescence, the drop-off and pick-up situation was a NIGHTMARE. Someone told us to keep driving straight (to get to drop-off) so we did, and it took us to some golf place. Pick-up was ridiculous, they are so unorganized. My friend and I had to walk a good distance away from the venue to get picked up. However, the merch line wasn't too long, so we got our merch and to our seats pretty fast after getting in the venue. The show was great, I've loved Evanescence since I was in middle school, so it was pretty surreal for me. Spiritbox & Nova Twins were amazing, I would love to see them again actually.

    I recently went to see Above and Beyond. There was no thorough security check, no pat down, but there is a separate line if you bring in a bag. It was a great crowd. It had a theme park vibe. Our friends rented 2 chairs for the lawn which was such a great idea. They also had Mexican blankets for rent. The lawn does have a slope to it. Bring your cleats. Jk. Lots of food options and small lines. You can get a bucket of cookies for $25. Bring your reusable water bottle. They had a few filtered water stations in addition to their water fountains. Drinks are pricey. For a cup of ice they charge $15. Parking is free.

    It's quite a drive for me to get here, but the events are always worth it. For event days, they direct traffic so I recommend getting there an hour before the doors open to get the best parking. Parking is included and is well organized. Even leaving is well organized. I've been to other theaters where it's a mess. It is a short walk from the parking to the venue. Another reason to get there early is to get a bite to eat before the show. I had their meat loaded nachos and they were really good. They didn't skimp on the toppings either. I've been to events in the seats and others on the lawn. I personally enjoy the lawn because you can sit as you wish, stand up and dance around. Overall, one of my favorite amphitheaters in the area

    Jasmin S.

    Amazing experience seeing Rebelution in concert tonight. My husband and I purchased the hide away access to the bar right next to our seats so we didn't miss critical moments in the concert. I Also recommend for folks to pay for the premier parking. Stop being cheap. You get what you pay for. So please stop leaving bad reviews when you pay for the lowest parking and seats.

    favorite arena in the Bay Area! I've been to most of the concert arenas from Sam Francisco to Concord and Shoreline Amphitheater will always be my favorite: the security check and check in quite easy, there are at least 2 areas with bathrooms one can use, it's easy to refill a waterbottle, the lawn is quite big and there are many large TVs to enjoy whatever is on the stage without paying a lot for the closer seats. Yes, parking is hard so that's why one can lyft and walk a bit from the arena to be picked up, any concert arena will be having troubles with parking and slow moving after an event, be that this or any other arena in the area. Not sure why so many negative comments, I've been to many worse concert arenas.

    Great venue especially with good weather. Stadium seating plus the availability of the lawn area provide nice options. Outside the amphitheater is a good setup for amenities, f ood options, and merch. I've watched a a few shows here and this venue allows for a good time. Like most, the traffic in and out is horrible by here is due to the subpar logistics and traffic control.

    I like this venue a lot. Just the right size, the vendors are great and the facilities are well kept and clean. Almost every seat is a good one and the location is perfect, especially weather-wise! Cools off nicely for summer concerts! 5/5

    A bit of a mixed bag. They book great bands that I'd love to see. And I've seen some amazing shows when I've showed out the money for the first 10 rows If you do get tickets, which you need to if you want to see anything, get them in the first front half of the theater. The lawn is so huge. You can barely see some of the screens forget about seeing this stage. Prepare for many lines and expensive food and drink. Finally it takes forever to get in and out of the place. To combat that they charge as much as a concert ticket to park in a place where you can get out quickly. That's probably the killer for me and makes me not want to go back...

    See all

    Ask the Community - Shoreline Amphitheatre

    How smooth is the Uber pickup/dropout? Any tips to avoid wait times?

    Do they allow dogs on the lawn?

    No.

    Can uber come pick up?

    Of course, but you may have to worry about higher prices to come to the venue. It is usually best to walk a couple of blocks away and hail an uber that way, so there is no surge pricing and easier access.

    Is there seating by the food /drink concession stands?

    There are picnic tables in a grassy area near most of the drink and concession stands, or at the entrance, there is a seating area with tv screens that show what is taking place on stage.

    I'm debating on getting tickets to the hideaway for my next show, are the drinks free there?

    Not worth the money. Very small bar, no food. Still a slow line during break between acts.

    Is VIP terrace 21 and up only? We're taking our 8yo to see Fall Out Boy in July. I keep getting emails about the VIP Terrace. I've done the lawn and seats, But always skipped the VIP? Is it worth the cost and do they allow kids inside?

    I do believe it's all ages. ,But it may have it's own rules on what show is playing. Good luck and have fun..

    Hi! Does anyone know what the "VIP Terrace Access" upgrade is?

    The venue has its own VIP patio (terrace) where they sell dinner and drinks. This is a VENUE ONLY upgrade and is NOT a part of any artist VIP package. The terrace upgrade can be purchased through the venue's website or at box office.

    How is wheelchair accessible? We have section 102 row B?

    to access that section and row you would have to descend down stairs. There are ADA seats available at the top of the 100's seats and the top of the 200's seats as well as the front of 201

    What time is the noise curfew? Just wondering what time shows usually end by.

    11pm and it's a pretty hard limit. I saw a big clock slightly off stage and every band I've seen there seems to keep a close eye on it.

    Can I please get a straightforward answer- my friends and I are attending the Alanis concert this Saturday 8/6/22 & haven't been to the venue in quite some time- can't find solid answer on website & want to know if TAILGATING is allowed?

    Yes, you can tail-gate if you get there early enough, but why would you do that when you're going to party on the green after you get inside? Bring a clear plastic bag with bottles of water, and sandwiches. You want to get inside as soon as you can,… 

    I would hate to leave my friend alone and have to be separate. Does anyone know if someone in my party who's handicap and required to sit in the wheelchair access, can the rest of the ppl in her party buy handicap spots to sit with that one person?

    Yes. My handicap friend and family sit together in the handicap section.

    What are the current Covid guidelines? Do you have to show vaccine card or negative test?

    No Covid requirements

    Can I bring a canvas tote bag?

    No tote bags allowed. Only clear bags or small clutches.

    We want seat fairly close to restrooms and as few stairs as possible to access the restrooms. Would we be better off at the top of Section 203 or the bottom of Section 203?

    Top

    Any where close by restaurants to eat before concert starts at shoreline amphitheater?

    in-n-out is close by for something fast! there's also a good soup restaurant called "bowl of pho" that's not too far away.

    Can i Bring a burger from in and out?

    Any food as long as it's in a clear one gallon ziplock bag. Also up to one gallon of water but it must be a sealed container.

    If I do an Uber pickup after the show, roughly how long should I expect to wait to get out of there? I've heard parkers can be stuck for 1.5-2 hrs... is Uber the same? Any experience setting pickup location a little ways away instead?

    Walk to Sports Page and get picked up there. So much easier. About .5 mile. You can also have a drink while you are waiting. We have also left the show a little early to get our Uber out of there first.

    Is there a smoking section?

    I think the upper part of the lawn sections you can. All the way to the very end where the fence is. i just noticed last weekend there was a bunch of people smoking cigarettes .

    Recommend any motels close by to stay at? Coming in for a show but don't want to drive all the way back to Oakland that night.

    Not close enough to walk but plenty that are a short carshare away.

    I have attended a couple shows here, but always sat in the seats right above the boxed seating area, which to me is too far away. Is there a pit area? If not,then do they let people sitting in the very front row get close to the stage?

    No. There's no pit and everyone with seat tickets stay in their respective area. Only the lawn area is GA. This venue does NOT arrange or move seats like an arena or stadium.

The staff were super quick & accommodating when they were assisting me with the set up. They helped me string up and put a HBD banner and set up my little one's high chair and way more like help bring stuff in, stock the drink fridge, set out the pastries, etc. They just knew what to do & did it straight away. I was amazed by the speed and professionalism! If only I had this level of set up at every birthday party. Barely any dictation or answering questions was needed. What a hugeeee lift off the mental load! There's a dedicated drink fridge in front of the register that kept our drinks chilled and easy for guests to grab. The food table is nice and long so it held a lot of food & we had A LOTT of food. We opted for the photo package too which was nice because usually being the host means you're too busy to take photos and get photos taken of your family. Overall, I highly recommend this place for your little one's special event! I only wish that this place was bigger so that we could invite more friends to our event. However, being smaller means more intimate events and those who are invited should feel super blessed and lucky to have made the cut!

    Great Family Event... Except Someone Forgot Their Customer-Service Hat…read more We had a really good time at Gamble Garden's Second Saturday! The kids enjoyed the scavenger hunt, there were some great vendors, and the whole event had a fun, family-friendly atmosphere. I also got some pretty good footage of the scavenger hunt and everything that was going on, so there was definitely plenty to enjoy. Whoever is behind organizing the Second Saturdays deserves some credit because they're doing a great job. There was a nice variety of activities, the kids stayed entertained, and it felt like a genuine community event. Now... the reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 comes down to one particular interaction. There was an older gentleman named Matthew who was helping out and wearing a vest. Let's just say Matthew and my wife and I did not exactly become best friends that afternoon. Some of the comments he made toward us came across as unnecessarily rude and, even if they were intended to be jokes, the humor definitely missed the landing. I'm all for a little sarcasm and having fun -- trust me, I can take a joke -- but there's a difference between being funny and making people wonder, "Wait... was that really necessary?" Thankfully, the event was for our kids, not for us, so we didn't let one interaction ruin the day. The kids had fun, the vendors were great, and everything else about the experience was positive. I'd definitely recommend checking out Second Saturday if you have kids or just want to support a cool community event. Hopefully, next time Matthew leaves the comedy routine at home and sticks to the helping. Overall: Great event, great activities, great vendors, and a lot of potential for an even better experience. Just one sour interaction kept it from getting that fifth star.

    I absolutely love the University Club of Palo Alto!…read more For me, the highlight is the pool. I love swimming here--there's an excellent lap pool where you can sign up for lanes, a diving board for extra fun, and plenty of open swim time for families. Kids can't get enough of the swim team, and there's even a shaded baby pool that's perfect for infants and toddlers. The tennis courts are top of the line, whether you're playing just for fun or competitively. The tennis pros are fantastic, and the whole tennis community here is great. Pickleball is also really taking off--it's always fun and social. The gym has everything you could want: Peloton bikes, free weights, machines, and a full range of classes. Beyond fitness, people also gather for bridge, mahjong, and other activities, so there's something for everyone. The food is excellent, the full bar is always a plus, and the events calendar is packed. There are great adult activities (salsa dancing, wine tasting, Aloha nights) and plenty for kids too (kids' night out, movie night, and more). Best of all, the community is welcoming and friendly. It's easy to meet people here, and many members end up making lifelong friends. All around, it's a wonderful club--I can't recommend it enough!
