| - Have been going to concerts at Marquee Theatre for the last few years and the latest improvements are great. The VIP Balcony gives you a way to watch the show, have a drink (and the prices are just about the same, or less, than other music venues like this) and now, there are bar stools for sitting up there (if you get there early enough!).
There may be times to be down on the floor as the sound is not as great up there as it is in the main area, and waiting it's a little on the chilly side (however, when the place is full, that's okay!). The only negative is the noise level in the VIP Bar area....if there is a group who are not there for the music (and are carrying on conversations behind you), however, that could happen anywhere. And, I heard some complain about only 2 restrooms.....uh, I guess you could go downstairs if you really needed to, and hope there is no line there, or just enjoy the music while standing in line.....
The show has to be sold out, or close, for them to offer the VIP Balcony, so there is a need to watch and upgrade to the higher price ($10-$20 upcharge, depending on the artist), but other than that, it's a great improvement.
You can usually get parking in their lot or across the street for $7 - not much different than other venues, other than maybe out at AkChin.
Prices for shows - all over the board, depending on the draw of the artist. Have seen unknowns to Green Day there, with prices accordingly.......
