We came here to see Aaron Lewis from Staind, to perform at Ovation. Now the performance was awesome, I wouldn't mind seeing Aaron Lewis again. As far as Ovation goes, there has been mixed thoughts here and there.
The place did look good on the outside and inside. But didn't really like the fact about the seating. We did get the cheapest one, so it was kind of in the back area. It is a good view, but the chairs were a bit uncomfortable. Plus, not everyone has a small waist line, so it wasn't really cool when the chairs were like right against each other. Basically had to push them out, so people could have room to sit and not be squished. The seating wasn't even fully labelled, that some people had the wrong seating, or had issues finding their seat. But, all that, only happens when your probably going there to see a performance of some sort.
As far as the Venue goes, its a decent size to hold a small concert or performance. It does have a bar in the back, so you can always get something to drink. They do have waitress walking around, so you don't have to get up all the time. They do have booth, for those VIP people. I say, any other event then a performance or a concert, that it does have plenty of room to roam around.
Now, for future reference, if you plan to go to a concert at this place, where its more of a sit down concert. Then it might be a bit unsatisfying. Especially if you buy cheap tickets, you get the cheap crowd, who can't STFU. Then again, if you can handle the crowd who can't shut it, withstand the uncomfortable seating and focus on the performance, then its not a bad place over all. If you love the person you plan to go see perform, I suggest to go the extra few bucks and get better seating, instead of the back. At least you'll probably get your money's worth.
