Recently saw Ghost here and had such a blast! Yes the traffic was crazy but thankfully I came prepared and was in traffic right before the 495 exit by 5pm. Yes we got here early but we joined all the other people in tailgating and had a great time waiting for the doors to open. Entering the place was a slow process but it seemed like everything was orderly. After the show we decided not to rush and to take a nap instead. We were able to join the line and get out quickly after about an hour wait. To anyone attending a show here I recommend that you come early, you plan to tailgate and then you plan to nap in your car after the show. It worked out great for us. read more

What a cool venue once inside. The lawn area is pretty affordable, expansive but steep. The portapottys nearby were close enough for emergencies ha. Plenty of friendly people enjoying Phish together in the crowd. Sunset was gorgeous and the sound was really good. The security is annoying here though. One security person says metal refillable water bottles are welcome and other security say no. Hadda ditch my bottle or bring it to coat/bag check?!? The line was about 45 mins of waiting so i just tossed it. Security really wants you in your seat area at all times and dont want you taking pictures or mingling out of your ticketed area. Buzz kill. The traffic entering and departing is abysmal. Total luck of the draw where you park in GA but luckily they dont charge you for that headache. Tailgating before the show from 3pm-645pm was fun though! Too many security personel and cops patrolling on foot, bicycle, and drone. The music inside is great and the venue is huge with good sound but there are much better venues out there. read more

There is no oversight at this venue. They couldn't care less about you having a good time. The group in front of us smoked endless joints CONSTANTLY throughout both bands we came to see. I can hardly breathe from inhaling all of that second hand pot. It was disgraceful that not a single employee ever walked by never mind did anything about it. Who smokes upwards of 30 joints in a row? I've never seen anything like it and hope to never again. What a bad experience and waste of time and money this was. The lack of signage in the near pitch dark while trying to find our car in Lot 9 was unacceptable. That they get away with all of this and more is outrageous. The town of Mansfield needs to take note. read more

Amazing outdoor concert venue. Been here many times. Just beautiful. Clean. Efficient. They could use more shows - that's about my only constructive criticism. read more

Excellent venue all around well organized right done to the parking!!! ‍‍‍‍ Janet Jackson n Luda read more

put 1 star because 0 wasn't an option. worst venue we've been to. if you enjoy paying $90.00 for parking and then have the 14 year olds working there send you to the wrong lot, we asked 5 separate people on the way in for the correct lane. nope. missed half the concert and have still been waiting to leave for 1.5 hours. shithole read more

I went for the magic summer tour 2024 and it was a great place all the staff were nice

The place has just gone downhill since no longer being Great Woods. The sound is never good unless you get big money tix under the Pavillion and the "lawn" seat area is just gross. Recently covered in huge wood chips to soak up mud. They run out of rental chairs and will then SELL people light blankets. Sit on the blanket in the woodchips and get stepped on by d-bags walking by not looking where they're going and bug bites on your legs. Also, the wood chips set off allergies for some. Not fun. Also... Everything is overpriced. Whatta shame. It used to be a good time there. read more

At check in I was stopped because my purse they claimed was to big. I saw them let other people in with larger purses. They were very rude about it. Then one of the workers whispered to have me frisked and they would not let me in right away. Is this Russia? When I was going back to my seat this intimidating monster lady wouldn't let me go to my seat without my ticket. The strawberry lemonade drink cost me over 24 bucks with tip. I vomited from it on the way home. It was not the booze it was the acidy in the drink. Place is filled with wanna be cops intimidating and chasing people down. "Get a life" I think this will be my last show after going there for 30 plus years read more

The parking situation is the 7th circle of hell. I will never go here again. The actual venue is fine but not worth the hassle of getting to/from. read more

I wish this venue would actually pay attention to who sits where and what because people kept trying to steal seats. There were too many people sitting in seats that they did not pay for and had to get moved out by the people that actually bought the seats. The staff there need to make sure this stops happening. I had people who took seats that were empty seat near me and keep blowing smoke into my face throughout the concert when my partner has COPD and I have asthma. I also witnessed people stealing other people's seats.It was very disorganized. Gillette Stadium has better organization with the seating and even the parking. read more

Parking and getting into the venue was absolutely atrocious. It took LITERAL HOURS to get to the drop-off area. They need a better system. Not coming back here for a show again. read more

This was the best one I've attended . The people were chill & the staff accommodating and cool. The parking area near the center is free ,but get there when the lot opens it fills up fast. Bring your portable grill too you will thank me later (wish I did ) they tailgate just like the Big Games do. Don't rush inside for there is plenty of time before a show there starts . If you don't like noise or BBQ smells please pay for parking in one of the easy-out lots (Red,Blue,White) it's quiet and you can most likely have a space between you and another car there . They had a Tortilla chip vendor passing out chips when you begin to line up that was cool. There is a second stage act and area if you rather not stand in line til gates open . They have local bands playing and the drink/ snack area there . The venue : I expected it to be smaller then what it was once in the main gates. The stage area is nicely coordinated with staff to help find your seats ,but the lawn surprised me. In CT ,there is mostly grass for the lawn area,they replaced that with hundreds of chairs which was pretty cool all the way up the hill and at a good price. They have a small section way in the back with grass ,lol. Food/drink : be prepared to spend 5 bucks on a water and 14/16 for a cocktail. The food was regular nachos,dogs/burgers,pretzels and such . read more

Xfinity Center - Concert time - Music Venues Near Me - Mansfield, Massachusetts

Not sure what all the negative reviews are about. Big deal they don't let you bring back packs in unless it's see through. That's common at many places. All the staff were pretty awesome in my opinion. I was even standing on the chairs and they came by and asked me to get down like 5 times and never made an issue out of it. The vibe of the place is so chill. And wow it takes time to leave a crowded parking lot after a concert. Big deal. Great place and will definitely be going back for more concerts. read more

After years of memorable concerts I'm done with this venue. I went to see Neil Young back in May and found out they weren't serving soda or coffee. Why? Because the star only wants local farm-friendly and locally sourced drinks. I'm not debating Coke and Pepsi not being health food. But I didn't want alcohol nor pay $$ for Liquid Death. We took it up with a customer relations person who said everything had to be locally sourced. Nowhere did we see any wines made locally. And the concession stands were selling SWEDISH VODKA and TENNESSEE WHISKEY. They lied right to my face. Also, if you truly wanted locally-sourced or locally-owned businesses you could have sold coffee from Honey Dew or Mary Lou's. Not everyone wants booze. And sometimes people need coffee after working a full day. So that's enough of being lied to by staff. Also, there were a fleet of trucks for the band's equipment. Diesel trucks! Not eco-friendly and that fuel I can safely say came from somewhere outside Massachusetts. read more

Went for Halsey concert, the girl in front of us needed water in a Bad way after drinking too much. Went to FOUR stands to try and find a cup - ONE FUCKING CUP of water for this girl so she doesn't die- they said it's too bad we don't Make the decisions. (After I asked if this particular person slept well at night he said "we have people for that" ) I would've bought water except didn't have any cash left. Finally found a nice lady at a private vendor willing to spare a cup and ice and filled the water in the bathroom. Xfinity should Be fucking ashamed of themselves For hiring vendors who literally said "I feeL just fine sleeping at night this isn't my rule". Oh and also one mixed drink in a light up cup cost $22 fucking dollars. ONE DRINK. But it also cost the same exact amount for a tiny plastic cup as well- which they told me before ordering. What the actual fuck read more

Saturday 8/19/17 was our first time here to see Jimmy Buffett and let me just say it was such an AWESOME experience! The group of us had so much fun! We got there early in the afternoon ans set up for tailgating, what a blast! Couldn't believe all of the people and how creative most of them were!! Some had tiki huts with shotskis, trucks with slides on the top of their cab that went into a truck bed filled with water, blenders hooked up to weed wacker motors, and the people walking around with Buffett virgin signs got the royal treatment as they passed by everyone's site. They were given shots, food, and good conversation. Just a group of happy go lucky boozers!!! The were several different parking lots here, containing Police, EMT's, concession stands and tons of port o potty's with quick moving lines.. Nobody bothered you here, the Police were basically just making sure people weren't going to cause any trouble. On they way to the gates, you are not allowed to bring in any bags or chairs. You go through a quick pat down, and they check your blanket, scan your ticket and then you are good to go. Once inside, TONS of bathrooms, vendors & food. Draft beers were $13.50 each. I don't think there is a BAD seat anywhere here, we actually had lawn seats and to be honest, we loved them. You were less confined feeling and had more room to move around. They had massive flat-screens at all different viewing points so you could see everything that was happening on stage. After the show, everything was orderly, the vendors were all closed up and people made there way back to their cars, some decided to actually try to leave, we actually went back and fired up the grill and cooked again because the vehicles were NOT moving and it was a 2 HOUR wait to get out of the parking lot. So I suggest, sitting back and relaxing after the show. Cannot wait to see Jimmy Buffett again!!! :) read more

The absolute worst venue ever!!! Told myself years ago I would never come back after sitting over 2 hours trying to get out of the parking lot after a Motley Crue concert. Went to Stevie Nicks last night. Left 2 1/2 hours before she was to go on, a 45 min drive but of course traffic.... Sat in traffic for almost 3 hours Stevie went on early due to weather so when we finally got into the shit show parking lot we turned around and left. People were saying there were no parking spaces left ?!?! With a hundred cars behind us... We must have been one of the last cars in and then they told people to turn around and leave by 9:15 9:30 of course they won't refund you either. Bye bye Xfinity NEVER EVER AGAIN. If you like the open air of outside concerts I Highly recommend Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion in Gilford NH. Friendly staff, clean venue, parking is a breeze!!! My bad for ever going back to Mansfield read more

Xfinity Center - Traffic - Music Venues Near Me - Mansfield, Massachusetts

This was my first time here for the Brad Paisley tour. I'm fine with the ticket prices, but after seeing the prices for food and drinks? I expect the seating area itself to be decent! My seat was behind a camera man, but I'll let that slide because Mr. Paisley sang on a stage in front of us later on. Also, the seats don't have cupholders, so I lost my drink from that. And on that note, do people just like walking thru the aisle and not actually sit?? Other than that, the outdoor setting was a nice change of pace, especially on a nice day. I'm also glad they have screens everywhere to show you what's going on the main stage. I'll definitely come back, but will pregame. read more

I'm knocking this venue down a couple stars due to one factor, the cigarette smoking. I have had to leave too many shows due to cigarette smoke induced migraines. It's stated as a smoke free venue but nothing is done to prevent it so people freely smoke during the entirely of the show. People don't care if children are around, they shouldn't be subjected to that. Honestly people get your act together! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Free parking, although it usually takes forever to get in and to get out. There's always room for tailgating and they have people that come around pick up your garbage if need be. You can see the stage from any seat here perfectly fine. Typically a lot of Groupons available for this location. There's plenty of vendors and plenty of bathrooms. Beer prices fluctuate based upon I'm assuming the amount of tickets sold for the venues when are usually pretty high to begin with, average $14-15. Hence why I tailgate. Easy to purchase tickets, easy to redeem tickets. read more

Xfinity Center - DMB on stage! It was raining but that does not matter for a true Dave fan;) - Music Venues Near Me - Mansfield, Massachusetts

$21 doughboys, $10 waters, $20+ for alcohol. CRIMINAL. Parking horrible, leave hours of extra time to get out

Great place to see a concert. Parking sucks. Stuck for over an hour. That's for free parking. Ridiculous.You would think after hundreds of concerts they would have figured this out. read more

This venue it's perfect. It has plenty oh handycap access, plenty places for food and drinks. The garden are very well mantain, plenty of restrooms, and untill now free parking. I find that very attractive for the business. I recomment this venue for concert to anyone. It's just perfect read more

The very best show I've ever been to! (The Trippie Redd Trip at Knight show) venue was awesome.. They DO NEED to add charging stations if they aren't going to take cash and everyone has tickets on their phones ‍ read more

I would never go back to this venue again. We looked at the FAQs before heading to the concert. When we got there, we got turned down for TINY bags in our group including fanny packs, wristlets and small crossbody bags that barely hold a cell phone. We specifically checked the bag allowance before we went and they were not following what was online. They used an index card sized piece of paper to "measure" if bags were small enough. They were turning COUNTLESS people away that had waited in line. Such a waste of time, especially when people did comply to what it said online. Any venue is going to have overpriced food/drink but this place takes the cake. Cocktails were $29 and canned drinks were $22. Also, don't go to the bathroom while you're there if you can avoid it. read more

Xfinity Center, you suck. Drove 1.5 hours to see The Doobie Brothers, and my iPhone case was a quarter of an inch too large to meet their requirements. We had to walk back to the car to leave it there. Yet, I need my phone to show my tickets and because of this bullshit, we are not buying any merchandise or supporting this facility in any other way. Shame on you. Tickets were $500 plus $60 for parking and your stupid rule has made me feel like I'm never coming back. read more

The former "Great Woods" from my youth is a great Amphitheatre to catch a show. I've only seen a rock show there but it's definitely setup well for that. I give it less stars as the parking situation here is bananas. Yes, it's free for the general parking but you have to get there early otherwise you are staying in a forever long line to get out. The $50 premier parking would have been a good option but they should not force you to get there early - that should be for late comers wiling to pay the extra money to get there late but get out first thing. I hear the sooner you get there to park in general parking, you're the first out but it can take up to and even over an hour at times. Based on this knowledge going in, I decided to make the savvy sacrifice and looked up the set list of my band on tour to determine if we could gauge what we would be missing should we leave before the masses. Well it worked out fabulously! We were out of there in minutes. Our show was delayed due to rain and thunderstorms and luckily the venue was good about updates on their Facebook and it was a short delay. Definitely sit under the coverage if you can since the shows go on rain or shine. I imagine lawn spots are still fun but call me bourgeois, I don't throw top dollar down but I want to be in a decent spot. The acoustics are fantastic, seats aren't awful but people stood for the most part. We spent money on some band gear and I would have considered an alcoholic beverage but saw the prices - $16 for a draft beer - ha! No, thank you. I will definitely catch more shows here and already purchased tickets to another. read more

I saw Goo Goo Dolls & Train here back in 2019. I came in my wheelchair. At break between the opening act and the mainliner I had to use the bathroom. While waiting in line a few girls were speaking very loudly. An argument broke out and one girl pushed the other girl down right next to me. Her extra large beer spilled all over my shirt and lap. I felt very unsafe at that moment and the girls yelled more and then finally separated. I thought the girl might fall on me when she was pushed. I was so sticky and wet and cold. I left before Train even took the stage. It ruined my night. Security never came to the bathroom despite the physical altercation. I am all set with returning to the Xfinity Center for Concerts. read more

The venue was very nice and the amenities were great. Good food and drinks. Something I noticed that I think needs to be addressed was the lack of handicapped stalls in the bathrooms. There was only one in the women's, and many guests who needed a stall that was wheelchair accessible were left to wait much longer than was acceptable in my opinion. read more

honestly the vibe and the. e he was amazing but the vip club experience is garbage they keep it vague then after you buy it you find out it's for the stadium not the band and the only difference is you can watch the show in a tv while you wait for food I'm am so unsatisfied with the way they advertised and executed it his "v.I.p. club crap just like the T-shirt venues wanting a tip anyways the whole experience except for that was amazin!!!'n P.S. DONT WAST YOYR MONEY ON THIS PACKAGE ITS BOT WORTH IT PUT THE KONEY TOWARDS BAND V.I.P. EXPERIENCE read more

Flew from the west coast to this venue to see my favorite band. It is in the middle of nowhere (45 minutes away from downtown Boston). The sound was absolutely horrible. The speakers in the venue sounded muffled and blown out and rattled like blown out speakers in a car. The signage inside was not clear and it was hard to find the restrooms. Getting in and out of the venue was a total bottle neck and it took us 2 hours to get back to our hotel. One of the worst venues I have been to across the USA and I've been to many. I won't ever come back. I would give it zero stars if I could. read more

The first time I've ever been to the Xfinity Center was to see Nsync when I was 13 back when it was Great Woods. Although their name changed,not much else has and I love it even more now then I did back then. I'm shocked by the bad reviews because we honestly had no issues at all and I can't relate to any of the negativity. We got there a little after the gates opened to get a good parking spot and take full advantage of tailgating. Everyone had their coolers loaded up,parking lot games,grill's smoking from every direction..just an all out party. The staff and police were professional checking to make sure no one was underage drinking and people came around collecting garbage which was nice. I highly recommend getting to the show early and drinking before it just adds that much more fun and excitement to the night. There were a few port a jons in the lots, the line weren't so bad..maybe a 10 minute wait which is no big deal. After drinking in the lot we headed into the venue which was a breeze. There was no line at all for ticket check...walked right up got a quick pat down/bag search and we were in. It's really nice inside (which is outside lol) it almost feels like your at a fair. There's plenty of drink vendors with beer,frozen drinks,margaritas,wine etc. Different food set ups as well. I don't know why everyone complains about drink prices..like don't be so cheap your out having a good time just enjoy it for what it is. My frozen margarita came in an awesome guitar cup and it was $15 and amazing. The seating is spacious,nice open air and pretty comfortable. I wouldn't see a show here on the lawn but any other seat in the house can't be beat. The sound is incredible, nice and loud with killer bass. Lady Antebellum sounded just as good live as they do on the radio I was blown away. The show felt like it went by so fast because we were having so much fun. Leaving the lot did NOT take hours like everyone claims. We waited about 25 minutes in slow/standstill traffic before getting out...it wasn't bad at all. Nothing wrong with unwinding for a few after all the excitement from the concert. I have nothing bad to say whatsoever about this place I'm actually really looking forward to coming back as soon as possible!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I've been coming here since it was Great Woods back in the 90's. Great acoustics. Great ambiance. But whoever designed the seat layout was clearly the last in his architectural class and the lowest bidder: they aren't staggered so you end up staring directly in the back of the heads of the folks in front of you. read more

Horrible. Rude staff. Filthy. And it appears they have been falsely displaying the bag policy on livenation for years, which I'm beginning to believe is exploitation of customers for additional money bag checking and selling bags in the venue. Website states bags need to be 12 by 6 by 6. Then at the entrance completely different rules are displayed right next to a big 5 dollar bag check hut. Cute. read more

Love this place. I have seen so many great concerts here. I always buy the cheap seats which are good enough for us and pleasant to sit in the back which is never crowded. Recently I had to park in the handicapped section due to a disability. It turns out that there is a large handicapped section so it was still a long walk. Oh well. We should have gotten there early. I remembered to bring my transparent handbag which I purchased on Amazon for $10.99 for a set of 2. Made life so much easier when I followed the rules. I have seen Brad Paisley and Rascal Flatts and Neil Young and so many good artists. This time is was Heart. I went because my friend couldn't beat anyone else to go with her. I am so happy that I did. It was an excellent concert and brought me back in time. Sheryl Crow was an opening act and made me wish that we had gotten there earlier. She was really great. Great place and very organized in moving so many people in and out. read more

Xfinity Center - Next to the last row. But it's Heart! - Music Venues Near Me - Mansfield, Massachusetts

Worst Lawn seats of any other outdoor amphitheater I have ever been to. Recently bought tix to a show and thought lawn would be like any other normal outdoor arena like PNC in NJ or Coral Sky in WPB, etc. This was a tiny sliver of woodchips at the top of the hill that had no reinforcing sound for the back. Literally could have and hear conversations at normal voice levels over the entire concert!! Xfinity: Get some extra speakers out there and lay down some real grass!! read more
