Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre

This place was great. Easy to get in and out. Tons of parking. Not a bad seat in the house. Great acoustics. The sound was so clear and easy to hear. We stood up top in the grass area and had a great time. Lots of food available. Tons of drink options including my favorite, liquid death. Also tons of restrooms available. Great venue.

First time at this venue. I was in section 203. Sections 100’s and 200’s are under the covered awning and have ceiling fans going. Section 300’s and the grass area do not. It has several restroom areas, food and drink places. Seats are like stadium seats. Rows a little narrow. It was a little warm the night we went. This venue would be more fun in the fall/winter season. Sound was great. Overall it was a fun night.

I've been coming to this venue for years—back when it was still Cricket Pavilion—and it continues to be my go-to spot for live music in the Valley. The atmosphere here is unbeatable if you enjoy the freedom to enjoy a show your way. Whether I want to stand, dance, sit, or just vibe out on the lawn, there's always space and flexibility. The lawn seating offers a laid-back experience with tons of room to move around, but if you're looking to get closer to the stage, there are also reserved seats and free-standing areas near the front. The venue consistently brings in great vendors—there's always a variety of drinks and merch stands to explore. One thing I love is how creative the drink options get. I've seen everything from fun shaker cups and fishbowls to light-up cups that double as souvenirs. The vibe is always fun and casual, perfect for everything from major tours to smaller shows. Even with all the name changes over the years, Talking Stick Amphitheatre keeps delivering solid concert experiences. It’s a classic Phoenix venue with a lot of memories tied to it, and it never disappoints.

Honestly all of the section seats have a good view and sound. I went by myself for $B GreyDay2025 and it was lit. The lemonade was almost 10 bucks mad overpriced same with the food of course. Safety wise, fire exits were clearly displayed, employees were aware of surroundings, and there was a considerable amount of law enforcement plus a few EMS teams.

Loved it seen offspring with my daughter it was her first concert! Had a blast. Drinks are super expensive and so is food $26.00 for a drink sodas is just as bad too.
