Overall, a nice place to see a concert in Atlantic City. We got to see Shakira, and the price was reasonable compared to NYC or MetLife Stadium. And we got to enjoy a weekend away in Atlantic City. The Hall is located right next to Caesars on the boardwalk. It's a decent size, and most of the seats are pretty good. No really bad seats in the stadium. The music was good, and the pyro and lighting were perfect. I would return again if another good performance happens. read more

The building is beautiful and really speaks to the peak of Atlantic City's grandeur. I came around Christmas and there was a woman on the boardwalk promoting the tree display, so I went to check it out. It was cute a lot of local businesses decorated trees, and they looked so pretty lined up. I wished it was a bit better promoted than one boardwalk champion because it was pretty and festive. While I was there, I read some of the signs about the town's history. There were some great vintage signs and photos and a Mr. Peanut costume. Even if you are not here for an event, it's an informative little museum inside that's worth a few minutes of your time. read more

This was our second time attending a concert here. The first time was Twenty One Pilots in 2019. This time, Florence and the Machine was moved here from Philly with one week notice. The tickets RJ purchased were front row in our section, but with "limited view" which was described as "possible infrastructure or lighting". We thought oh no big deal, maybe some sound equipment or a railing. Ok, these should have been sold as completely obstructed view. An employee from down below handed new tickets to RJ after the concert started if we wanted to move. But the row is so small and tight, I am 5 ft tall and had no leg room. We were all jammed against the railing. We thought that was nice but wished it had happened before the concert started, or that she came to the row and got us out rather than handing them up to us. No way was I going to try to get out by making 12-14 people move 1 song into the concert. So we only know they were higher up, but did not use them. At least I could see if I leaned to the left, but RJ looked at the back of this camera man all night! read more

Went to go to see Katt Williams Heaven on Earth which had Monique as the surprise guest host which was really decent. But, this review is about Boardwalk Hall. It was complete chaos getting into the venue. The long lines (if you could call them that) were all over the place. There were employees outside directing ppl to walk over further, as there were more lines and so we did that. There were two actual organized lines and so we joined one. But then a trolley rolled up and cut off the line and suddenly people started rushing over from the other side of the boardwalk, to cut in where the trolley sat. We waited about 20 mins online, and then walked in through the metal detectors and once inside, more chaos. There was no one to direct you to the area of your seats, and the signage wasn't great. We did eventually figure out where we were supposed to go and made it to our seats. The seats weren't very comfortable and we were in section 107 (the 1st level above the floor) which was four sections from the stage, so we kinda had to turn our bodies sideways and crane our necks a bit to see well. The show was great though! The venue itself sucks imo read more

The Boardwalk Hall Auditorium Organ (aka the Midmer-Losh or the Poseidon) is a pipe organ that was completed at the Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey in December 1932. It was built by the now defunct Midmer-Losh Organ Company that was based in Merrick, New York. The organ has been recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records for being the largest pipe organ ever constructed, the loudest musical instrument, and the largest musical instrument on Earth. The organ features 33,112 pipes and the console features 7 manuals of keys. The organ's wind supply is the most-powerful ever used in a pipe organ. It has not been fully functional since 1944, when the Great Atlantic Hurricane swept across a large portion of the east coast. The subterranean floors of Boardwalk Hall were flooded with seawater for several days. The organ has been going through a restoration process for several years. As of this writing, only 67% of the instrument's functionality is operational. The organ can be seen each weekday at 12 noon (from Memorial Day to Labor Day) during free 1/2 hour recitals followed by tours. An extensive "Curator's Tour" (which takes viewers inside the organ) is available on Wednesdays at 10:00 AM from April to December. My family and I visited the Boardwalk Tour Auditorium Organ this past summer while we were on a road trip. While exploring the boardwalk one day, we saw an advertisement for it. As a professional musician myself, I was a little embarrassed that I never heard of the instrument nor realized that it was located in Atlantic City. We decided to attend the free recital at Auditorium Hall the following day. Even at only 67% functionality, the organ is incredibly impressive. It's more powerful than a dozen orchestras. At times it just seemed to whisper, but it could quickly crescendo into thunderous melodies that echoed throughout the entire venue. The awesome power of this organ was unlike anything I've ever encountered before. For me, the highlight of the recital was a rendition of "The Batman Theme" as composed by Danny Elfman for the 1989 film. Afterwards, visitors were invited on a short tour where we were able to see the organ console up close. If you're a fan of music then I highly recommend a visit to the Boardwalk Hall Auditorium Organ! read more

Had a great at Jaron Boots Ennis fight. I haven't been in a long time. The facility was clean and nice. We sat in a floor seat and the seats were comfortable with a great view of the ring walk out . Staff were nice and helpful. Getting in took a little longer than expected because there were a lot of people that had to go through the security scanners, but I appreciate the security measures that were taken. read more

First time at the Boardwalk Hall. Went to the Mother's Day Concert. Excape,,Jodeci , Kenny Latimore. First off the seats were made for small people. The seats were connected so you could not move them. We missed Kenny. Came in on his last note. The DJ did his thing playing the Ole School music. . Excape came out with Coco from SWV. Yay. She sang a quick note then was out. I don't know why women have to wear clothes or outfits showing all their business.. I thought they would sing better but hey I'm not a singer. They did what they did. Throughout the show I got high as I don't know what. I don't smoke but those around me did and boy oh boy. Security didn't even attempt anything. They should have had a smoking section. The guy in front of us smoke, smoked and smoked. There were others smoking also. More weed smoke than fog. Jodeci came on with all the lights and the booming bass. The music was louder than the singers and I could not hear them. I was high dizzy and deaf all in one sitting. It's crazy. But I know I would not go back to the get high center again read more

Came here to see Brandy and Monica in concert. The seats were folding chairs, not sure I've ever seen that at a concert venue.

Historic, grand venue on the boardwalk. So happy I finally got to visit it over the winter watching the MAAC March madness tournament. The interior is really cool to walk around in, view some history and imagine some of the great events that happened here. The architecture is so impressive and the historic preservation shines through. Great options for food and drink. Very pricey but I think it's in part to cover the staffing cost, which had a lot of headcount. The quality of the food was surprisingly good. There's something for everyone if you look hard enough. Same for drinks. Hearing the organ play the star spangled banner was a highlight. Amazing sound, and that is only 60% restoration if I understood that correctly. (Flooding incident a long time ago). Why four stars? The actual seats we sat in, both times, were pretty gross. The blue fabric was stained and ripped in spots. It skeeved me out. I know capital investment can be challenging to finance but the seats need an overhaul. I'd suggest something more durable like hard plastic or vinyl cushioning. read more

I took my wife to the Florence and the Machine show at Boardwalk Hall on April 25, 2026. She has MS and needs a walker to get around. She called the venue ahead of time to make sure she could access ADA seats. She was told to simply ask for guest services upon arrival. Upon arrival, the staff was absolutely clueless as to where guest services was, where the elevators were, what floor our seats were, and literally) what our the numbers meant for seating. We had to jump from floor to floor. We got contradicting instructions as to where we where we should go. It was like none of the staff knew the venue. Even after finding guest services and getting our ADA seats, The guest services person instructed us to go upstairs to the second floor but the seats were in section 106 on the first floor. Once seated we were fine but it was extremely stressful going the wrong way with no staff who could help us. We missed almost the entire opening act because of this. I hope you can help educate staff as to where things are located in the future. read more

This review is of the tour of Convention Hall and famous pipe organ. I was curious to see how this historic venue had held up since I last was inside way back in 1984 working a rock concert ( The Police, a popular English band back in the day). Happy to report the building has been well maintained and the entire staff and tour guides could not have been more accommodating or friendlier. The tour of the insides of the famous pipe organ was fascinating! Unfortunately, I could not stay for the organ recital but rest assured, plan to return. Well worth the time. Suggest parking underneath and pay a little more for the convenience and security. read more

I have a few things to say about this venue. Some are positive but most are negative. I came here on Saturday, February 12th for the Katt Williams World War 3 Tour. First negative, the gauged us for parking. A whopping 40.00!! And it was CASH ONLY. I felt like that was really taking advantage of your patrons because there were no other options beyond street parking and I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole being from out of town. I feel it also put people in a really bad position if they were not carrying cash because no where on the website was that detail mentioned. Getting into the event was easy and organized. The layout reminded me of the old Spectrum back home. There were plenty of food, snack and beverage options. And even though we were seated in the 200 section it was not a bad view at all especially with the three projector screens. However, no one gave a f#&k about any COVID protocol. Although the venues website says this and that about proof of vaccination and despite massive signs about wearing masks, not one soul asked anybody anything. Not even a temperature check was taken. And damn near no one was wearing a mask. Even the comedians joked about it. And when I tell you we were packed in there shoulder to shoulder it's not an exaggeration. Aside from all that we enjoyed the show very much. read more

I went to a concert with my daughter at Broadwalk Hall. This stadium used to be the Atlantic City Convention Hall. It's a historic multi-purpose building that has all sorts of entertainment and sporting events. I went to a concert that was truly for the young, but my review is only from my perspective. There is plenty of walking before you even get in the building. Thank goodness their are lots of employees to guide you to your seat. In these types of venues, they try to put as many seats in the stadium as they can. What made it even worse they were metal folding chair cramped together. Needless to say, it's very uncomfortable :( Our seats were on the floor, and if you have to use the restroom, it's up a long, long flight of metal steps. The restroom was clean. I was very surprised and pleased with that. The show was good, what I could see. People stand through the whole concert these days and could care less about being in your way. Overall, Broadway Hall is an ok venue for the young. I will probably never return. read more

I had a great time there, second time around. Easy to get in. Security on all entrances. Food lines extremely long tho. Not enough merchandise to purchase, but it still was cool. Bathrooms were cleaned after the performance. Security everywhere. Our seats were perfect, except for the girl below who puked and sat in it, right in her lap. So I had to smell puke for the rest of the show. But the Dj kept everybody going & it was definitely enjoyed so much. Can't wait to go back for the next show. read more

Decided to finally checkout AEW tonight at the "Historic Boardwalk Hall". Show completely aside, that's not for this review... Overall, I was a bit disappointed in the experience we received this evening. Parking is $40 which I always feel is a gouge, but we paid it because it's the closest and my wife just had surgery (she's fine, thanks for asking) We finally get into the building and get to our seats, no problem, everyone is nice so far, but many of the ushers seemed to just be standing around as people were seating. A military vet rolled up to our section in a motorized scooter and the user shows him to the seats next to ours. The vet and his wife become anxious because his scooter won't fit, he asks to sit at the end of the row and just remove a seat down there. The usher insists he must sit in his assigned location. Unfortunately, our 3rd ticket was unable to attend because he got covid (he's also fine, thanks again for asking) but it worked out for the vet ad we offered to remove the second seat and he scootered up to his spot just fine. As the show started we noticed there was absolutely NO enforcement of the mask policy. We were specifically told we were supposed to have them on except to eat and drink, they even handed them out at the door, but no one was wearing them... so much for that people were just walking by the ushers and security. Don't advertise the policy if you're not going to enforce it! Shortly after the first few matches two guys randomly sit in the seats next to us. They kept moving around so they definitely weren't in their assigned seats, but some how while it wasn't possible to accommodate out veteran, them taking the wrong seat was just fine. As for food service, we made a stop by MadDog Morgan's, the food was normal stadium food and priced high as most stadium food is. We also stopped by Chickie's and Pete's, who doesn't exactly have the quickest people working the cashier as she was very confused when I gave her $24 for a $14 cost... she intead refused my $4 and gave me $6 change. (Yes, there were $10's in the register, thanks for asking) We left just before the end of the last match to beat the crowd out, but if you don't, I can tell you from both working at BWH and going to many shows there, you'll be stuck in traffic! We will go back next time there is a show we want to see, provided we can't see them else close by instead. read more

Enjoyed my visit, with the only exception the concession stands were backed up, they could have used more help in that area.

I came to see a Marc Anthony concert here and had a spectacular time! My hubby got us tickets in the upper section, but we were in the first row (I think Section 210, smack in the middle), and right off the bat I was impressed. Having been to other larger arenas in NY and NJ where the highest section basically means you are there to listen and not see, this was a really nice change. The venue has great stands for hard liquor, beer and even food, so no worries in filling up before coming here. We had to EXTREME good fortune to be chosen from the crowd to get upgraded onto floor seats and that was of course even better! Although it also gave me good perspective and floor seats are not as awesome, due to the lack of stadium seating, so if you get stuck in the middle of a row, you are pretty much screwed, unless you are in the first 5 rows. But if you are in the back rows, you should just save some money and get a section above. Overall, great sound and fabulous time at the Marc Anthony concert, so can't wait to go back, hopefully in the summer so I can enjoy the boardwalk too. read more

I visited Boardwalk Hall for the Stockton University 2018 graduation ceremony. This is probably a perfect venue for such an affair because of it's layout and ability to hold several thousand people. I confess I never heard of this place before coming here so I have not seen a concert or sports event here as most other visitors have. The place is spacious and not the behemoth on the boardwalk it turned out to be; quite surprising to me. It was well lit for such an event, maybe too bright. The PA system worked well. I don't imagine anyone had trouble hearing. The ushers we encountered were very helpful but the seats are poorly padded for a 3 plus hour affair. I'd go back. read more

Spent $200 for 2 nights of the indoor midget and kart racing.

This is simply asinine considering the amount of exhaust fumes we are inhaling inside the venue. SMH read more

If I could give ZERO stars, I would!! Stated under Restaurants in Plan Your Visit, "Visit some of the finest local restaurants in town before or after an event". DO NOT visit a restaurant BEFORE your event if you're a person who leaves with leftovers!! Our dinner was $400 at a Steak House and we were forced to throw our leftovers in the trash! That is UNACCEPTABLE! We went to dinner, took an Uber to the location and was met with unprofessional venue staff screaming, "ABSOLUTELY NO WATER, NO FOOD, NO UMBRELLAS ALLOWED"!!!!! One lady told us, "go put it in the car." Really??!! What car, if we just got out of an Uber?!! Our leftovers were nicely packed and secured in the restaurant's to go containers AND placed into a bag with the restaurant's name clearly printed on the front. It is not like we were trying to sneak food in to not have to purchase venue food; we came with our bellies full and had every intention on finishing what we couldn't finish at the restaurant upon our return from the show. To add insult to injury, as if the above wasn't enough, we were told that umbrellas weren't allowed after enduring hurricane like rains throughout the day! What type of BS is this?! Nowhere on the website does it state that umbrellas nor leftovers are allowed. I am so inclined to believe that these "rules" were implemented because the venue was hosting a comedy show with Black comedians and a predominantly Black audience. I bet a Taylor Swift audience wouldn't have been forced to discard their umbrellas (after a day/night of torrential rain), nor their leftovers from a $400 meal for two. If you're going to encourage people to dine before a show knowing you have these rules in place, at the very least, have lockers available!! I'm pissed read more

Parking: CASH ONLY & it's an underground maze to walk to venue, through dregs and sewage, if you don't get there early. Security check was efficient but it wasn't as big of a show as others. Seating is standard and the layout is similar to Prudential Center (Newark) or the Orleans (Vegas). The sound was HORRIBLE. Speakers were muffled, mics kept fading in and out. Camera person kept botching up the video monitor steadiness. This ain't the Garden but it IS Atlantic City! They MUST do better! Venue food and drinks are standard. Eat prior so you're not filling up on junk. Overall, I'd see another show but I'd stay at the location so I could avoid parking. read more

Gorgeous, historic venue. Right along the beautiful boardwalk in Atlantic city, this venue hosts many events. We were able to visit this venue for a graduation ceremony.

Okay... I haven't been to this venue in several years, but, I would like to offer up some of my past experience in hopes that you, too, will enjoy your time here. This venue hosts large concerts and sporting events all twelve months of the year, and, in reality, there is not a bad seat in the house. They even have a retro jumbotron that was installed in the 2000s. To this day, it is still standing. Overall, I have had many memorable experiences here, especially going to see the Boardwalk Bullies and Phantoms. Seeing a hockey game here is worth it in my personal opinion. They have upper bowl seating, so if you're not used to heights or stairs, I would avoid. The building is a bit aged, so it may not have a lot of the features you find in a typical modern-day arena, such as "club seating." There are several food options, but bring plenty of $$. Parking is available in the garage below the arena, but spaces are limited. In some instances, the garage may be closed, so be prepared to park elsewhere. As for outside of the arena, be mindful of your safety. read more

February 2016 R. Kelly concert. Valentine's surprise from my darling hubby. Vivian Green, Kwamé, and Demetria McKinney (she can sang) were fabulous! We are huge fans since Honey Love...lol! It was so dag on COLD! The concert was wonderful, Kells didn't disappoint! His voice hasn't changed in over 20yrs. My biggest complaint was the PARKING. This place is huge. We arrived an hour early, but the congestion around the arena was grid lock! The traffic control folks were letting lanes move without using common sense. After circling twice, we parked in the venue garage. BIG mistake! One way in and one way out. I was thinking God forbid there is an emergency...we are screwed. Cash only payments to parking attendant. I know we walked a half mile from the car to the seats. My feet were traumatized! I regret trying to be cute and wearing heels. My toes were crying for Ugg or Nike. Security/ticket check moved quickly with pre-printed tickets. The seats and rows are VERY close, especially when trying to hold a coat, purse, and snack. Elbow to elbow and knees in the back of the seat and I'm short. Also, the row and seat numbers are difficult to see especially after the lighting is dimmed. Everyone was cordial and no drama. Standard overpriced arena food offerings...pretzels, popcorn, beer, wings, hotdogs, etc. We were going to stay overnight in Atlantic City, but the same room that was $140 on Tuesday was $600 on Saturday. Really!? Also, folks arriving late was ridiculous. Nice night from the ankles up...LOL! read more

The Boardwalk Hall Auditorium Organ is the pipe organ in the Main Auditorium of the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Have been here a few times to see concerts when spending a drunken gambleraholic few days in this city of depravity and vice. Always a solid spot to catch a band perform and pull myself away from the blackjack tables for a few hours. Have seen Fleetwood Mac, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and others here. The place itself is set up like a basketball / hockey arena with concession stands all around the outside featuring all kinds of foods, snacks, and beer. Great sight lines, good sound and acoustics, lots of seating, clean bathrooms, and easy access right on the AC boardwalk. Even drink and food costs are cheaper then in NYC venues. Just a really nice venue to see a show. All types of events go on here - concerts, sports, comedians, etc. Plan it right for when a favorite act is performing during one of your weekend getaways to AC! read more

Boardwalk Hall is a really cool and historic venue. For as many times as I've seen a show in Borgata, I've never seen a concert at Boardwalk Hall. And while my concert list there is still at zero, I'm determined to change that. My main reason to visit was to see the Philadelphia Flyers' open practice. I was probably a little more excited to explore than to actually see the practice itself. The venue looked old but in a classic sense, versus a crusty old sense. The architecture had a classic feel and I really enjoyed my time taking in the space. The venue had arena style seats, plus a center floor which I could only assume has seats or is for standing room during shows. There is a built-in stage at the end of the one side. The practice was not overly crowded, so I'm not sure how their staff deals with crowded scenarios, but everyone I encountered seemed pleasant. I'd also be curious about the acoustics. This place just gets points in my book for its historic value and overall cool factor. Boardwalk Hall gets some pretty major acts so I need to get my act together and check it out. read more

I came here on Friday to see Usher (with Akon as an opener) with my sister for her birthday. The venue is very outdated. The steps are extremely narrow, so tread carefully whether going up or down (We saw many people, including the usher, stumble up and down) and the acoustics as Zanna said aren't the best. They also had a very odd assortment of concessions including funnel cake, personal pizzas, curly fries, and candy by the pound. All in all, the beginning was alright, but the sound was so bad during the Usher part we left early. read more

My cousin, friend, and I went to Boardwalk Hall for the Operation Hat Trick charity hockey game. i had never been before; all I knew was that it was on the smaller side, which might make a nice venue for a hockey game. As others have said, the place looks a bit dated, but that was not important to us, as we're used to allegedly "dated" places (old Yankee Stadium, the Garden, etc). There was a large set of bleachers at one end of the rink, providing extra seating for the fans. Our seats were at center ice in the 200s and we had a perfect view. Concession prices were as you'd expect, but the lines were abysmally long and slow. The three of us agreed the venue was understaffed and they didn't seem prepared for the number of fans. Since we are in the middle of a lockout and we fans knew that was the only hockey we were probably going to get, the event could have been staffed a bit better. Also, security made my friend check his camera bag at Caesars because they said it was too big, and he ended up missing the entire first period. However, we noticed several others who had gotten past with cameras that were the same size. Overall, given the close-to-ice, great view atmosphere, I'd come back. Parking nearby was also cheap at just $10 for an overnight stay. read more

It was like time travel for me last weekend seeing Fleetwood Mac at Boardwalk Hall as the last time I had seen a concert at Boardwalk Hall it was for.......wait for it.....come on now.....Fleetwood Mac seventeen plus years prior. For various reasons I don't remember a lot about that show nor did I remember much about BWH as a venue so in the immortal paraphrased words of John Lennon, it was like starting over. A few points then I'm out: * This place was not built primarily as a sports venue as another Yelper or two seems to ignorantly think. No, it was built to be a multi-purpose convention center first and foremost which is why it was formerly called the Atlantic City Convention Hall. * $10 for a beer is nuts and even if you were stupid enough to pay that grossly inflated price the lines were huge unless you were willing to trek all the way to one of the corners by sections 101 or 125 where there were no lines of any type. * The sightlines as many have mentioned are the one thing going for this place for a concert as just about no matter where you sit there is nothing to obstruct you're view of the stage. * Acoustically this place fell somewhat in the middle. Clearly there is an echo present depending on where you sit and (not necessarily the fault of the venue but more the guy mixing the band's sound) there was way too much bottom from the bass and kick drum which only got louder as the show went on versus the vocals being muddy most of the night. * Two older MILFS (probably mid-late 50's) got into a fight three rows behind us which caused us to miss nearly two songs as there was zero security presence for a good ten minutes to break them up and our section's usher wasn't doing anything as she was older (maybe 70) than they were. * After the show on the way out it seemed rather forced and cheesy that several groups of employees from janitors with carts all the way up to guys in suits with walkies & ear pieces all stood by and thanked people leaving for coming to Atlantic City and for coming to BWH. Overall BWH has easy access to The Boardwalk after the show to trek to where ever you parked your car at whatever casino is still open, decent tickets here are tough but not impossible as the venue is still an industry leader for concert ticket gross for its size (14K if they utilize all seating sections) and in what is left of A.C. this is the only venue that has ever existed or will ever exist that is capable of bringing in larger shows so you might as well love the one your with because like it or not it's not getting any better. read more

Take the one star I gave and make it zero. There are no positives about Boardwalk Hall. So let me tell you the negatives: 1) It's in the middle of hell. Yes you can make a night of it and stay in AC at one of the beautiful, run down casinos. But to get to the venue, you have to walk through the depressed and desolate streets, OR the depressed and desolate boardwalk. I don't even know where you would park if you were just coming for the concert. But it wasn't pretty. 2) The email from the venue advised that the doors opened at 630, which was incorrect. When we arrived (at 630) half of the merch was sold out because in fact, the doors had opened at 600. 3) There is basically no security. I go to a lot of concerts and I never have an issue being checked when I go in. At Boardwalk Hall, they barely look at you and you never see another member of security anywhere in the building. I was at a show where the band doesn't allow phones or cameras to be used. Even if security was going to do anything to address the MANY people who were disobeying this request, they wouldn't have been able to get down the tiny aisles to stop it. 4)The lines are insane. The entire time you are inside the venue, you're in a line. You're either in a line for the bathroom or for a drink. Literally the entire concourse is one long line. Once you get your drink, there is nowhere to go. No where to hang out. Plan to either be in your seat or in a line during the entirety of your visit. 5) It's old and run down. The venue looks like an old and abandoned subway terminal from the 1920s. Once on stage, the band actually commented on the building collapsing. Cool! 6) There is no cell phone service in the building. Good luck coordinating meeting up with any friends inside the mobbed concourse with no ability to text or make a call inside.

Went here last week for AEW Dynamite and Rampage, paid $20 for parking not bad. The venue itself was very nice, had the old feel to it. Very organized and safe, some people wearing masks some not. Pricing of food and drinks are normal for a venue. The show was amazing. Definitely gonna come back again read more
