Saw String Cheese Incident with The Wood Brothers in mid-May. The venue was very convenient, and we had a great time. There were limited options for beverages (like only 4 beers and two were IPAs) a seltzer, a hard tea, and some canned wines. There were mixed drinks, but again limited at most of the beverage stands. Prices were so high that I would expect more than a couple of options. The bathrooms for non-VIP ticket holders were port-a-johns, but I walked right into the VIP bathroom because no one was checking wristbands or anything. It is also not labeled as VIP, it just said restrooms. My big problem though, and one I hope they fix, is that while we were all dancing and having a blast the lights came on at 9:00. They stayed on for the rest of the show. I felt like I was at a baseball game instead of on the lawn at a concert. Some bands have light shows (this one did) and the shows start and end early, so we really need that natural darkness to enjoy the lights and the vibe. Other than that, it was a fun place. read more

You need to give your employees training on how to do their job. Went to yacht rock last night and it was chaos on entering. Kept being shuffled to different lines and then was screamed at by an employee for "cutting" when we were shuffled to the line. She was extremely rude and not helpful. I paid good money for these tickets only to be screamed at. Not cool. read more

Worst concert venue I've ever been to in my life. Tickets are extremely overpriced. Can't see anything from the lawn. Extremely unpleasant and unprofessional staff. Facilities are disgusting. read more

I visited The Amp for an R&B fundraising event. The venue is quite comfortable (bring your chair and sit on the lawn). From my seat, I could see the stage and hear without interruption. There were venue seats, but they looked cramped, and more than half were empty. Closer to the stage, on the right, there were 4-person tables set up. All of the seating is in the hot sun, so come prepared. I brought a hat with a wide brim, which kept me sane mentally, but I still felt a lot of sweat running down my face and back. This is to be expected at an outdoor festival in the blazing sun. With proceeds donated from each ticket sold, the $10 + tax for a bottle of water in 80+ degree heat was too much. With alcohol on sale, patrons should have had access to water at a more reasonable price, e.g., $2. I won't attend their next event. However, I look forward to attending another music event at The Amp, as other reviews report many more food trucks and vendors. I purchased food from the first truck I visited. I ordered a steak flatbread, and it was delicious. The price ($20) was on point. Sadly, the few food trucks on site couldn't sell any liquids or water. I had to endure my 3-hour stay with one bottle of water. There were only a few vendors, so it wasn't much of a shopping trip for me. The women's restroom was clean, and an attendant was on duty, a plus on a hot day. Parking wasn't much of a problem. The area is excellent for entertainment, with a plethora of restaurants and bars. This made for congested parking at the venue. I parked in one of the recommended garages, and it was a short walk to the festival (less than 10 minutes, depending on pace). read more

Horrific customer service at check in! Made us walk back back to my car because my wife's purse was too big. It was almost 90 degrees outside and I get it...rules. Then as we walked back we went under the que rope to meet the folks at check in. We we're immediately reprimanded and told to walk to the end of the que. There were absolutely zero people in line or being checked in. Overzealous, compassionless and unreasonable security at best! read more

My first show since moving here and very happy! The outdoor space is great. A cool grassy knoll to watch the band with bars right there for alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Beach chairs encouraged, and room to dance if you're feeling the vibe. Bartender was friendly and quick. Already planning on my next show. read more

We love this new venue! We saw the Turnpike Troubadors here this past weekend and had the absolute best time. The venue itself is the perfect location right near a bunch of restaurants and the new OMB location. I thought the security and entry process was organized. There were several food trucks set up inside to enjoy before the show. The sun sets behind the stage and since it was a little cloudy, the sky was absolutely beautiful. We had lawn seats and there is a great view of the stage from any angle. They have a few kinks to iron out as to be expected. They ran out of alcohol and bottled waters pretty early on. The bathrooms are not nearly big enough to accommodate 4,500 people and they needed more port a johns. Otherwise, we love this spot and can't wait to enjoy events here for years to come! read more

This place is awesome. Great lawn seats, tons of bars for beer, never a wait. Would love to see real bathrooms and a few more food trucks, but overall easy to park and enjoy the fun. read more

The facility is quietly located in Ballantyne on the back side of the resort. The layout is a smaller version of Verizon Amphitheater. The hungry can be satisfied by food trucks and the drink stands are plentiful. The facility has no bad lawn seats, and ample close stage seats. The sound quality is very good throughout, it is worth a trip. The place is well staffed with security and venue staff. read more

Here enjoying the Charlotte International Arts Festival festivities! Plenty of room and spacing available! The space is surrounded by a fence, so anyone can't just walk up at any time. I would assume events have to be planned and scheduled. No actual seating provided. This is definitely a BYOS (bring your own seating) type of outdoor venue spacing. The turf grassy area in front of the stage is tiered into 4-6 large platformed levels, which helps everyone be able to see performances on stage equally On the day i went: potter pottys = bathrooms Food trucks = food catering Parking can be found for FREE either directly onsite at The Amp or a little further up the road at the Campbell Snacks building parking lot read more

All things were good until not being allowed to use "indoor VIP bathroom" at a 50* rainy event!!! The bathroom was empty but was still not allowed to use the bathroom after spending $100 plus at this venue! This place needs to reevaluate their policies. I certainly won't be spending any money at this place when not provided with a proper public bathroom for a paying client!!! It's fine to keep serving drinks at ridiculous prices yet not providing proper facilities. Ballantyne needs to do better! read more
