    This is a hidden gem for smooth jazz lovers, the quality of entertainment coupled with the price makes the jazz series the best deal anywhere.

    I learned of RobsTickets through my ITEX barter account…read more While my experience with RobsTickets was very good with respect to their communication and delivering the tickets I purchased through my ITEX Barter account, I was extremely disappointed to learn RobsTickets sold me tickets they purchased through http://StubHub.com at 7x+ the amount they paid for them. In fairness RobTickets, I should share I was well aware I was "bartering" (ie no cash exchanged except for the ITEX 15% cash fee for a transaction - $45) $75/ticket for 4 bleacher seat tickets but what I was not aware was I was "paying" a rediculously inflated price for the tickets I could have easily purchase for less than $10 each in cash from the Stub hub website! (In other words less than the ITEX transaction fee I had to pay for the barter deal! Yeah - that makes a whole lot of sense doesn't it???? In my mind, ticket brokers shouldn't be selling tickets at grossy inflated prices the general public can get themselves from sources the ticket broker is getting them from. But I guess that's what business is all about - taking advantge of unsuspecting prospects like me :) Boy do I feel like an idiot! Thank you RobsTickets for the $260+ lesson. You can count on the fact I won't be buying (or bartering) tickets from you again - unless of course you are the only agency that has tickets I can't get anywhere else except maybe another ticket broker (which is what I thought ticket broker services provided. In other words - sourcin hard to find/buy tickets. ---------------- Moral of this review: Before buying tickets from a ticket broker - do your homework and look online for tickets you are considering buying (or bartering especially). You may be surprised what you might learn.

They found out the hotel shuttle would not accommodate many of us so they had a bus waiting. Marriott Albany had many issues which will be under a review of that hotel. Hotel dated, repairs not good and, things not working, cleanliness issues, sometimes not enough staff at the front desk or they would answer and hang up. Banquet and banquet staff excellent. Sports Travel and Tours had shirts on who identified who they were with name badges. Very organized and was prepared for changes and proactive. It was hot weather wise and changed often. They were ready at the induction ceremony with bottled water and sunscreen for those of us who needed it and who ran out. That was most appreciated. Very good, organized, and professional company who helps put together a good program with good planning so participants can enjoy an event more at ease. Not sure about the other hotels they booked but I went on a one-week trip and all other hotels I stayed at in other cities were much better. From the name Marriott, one expects more.

Their attention to detail was impeccable and treated us like the most important people on the trips. I have not taken any since my Dad passed. My wife & I are recently retired, and I wanted to take her on one of these excursions. She enjoys baseball, but is not an avid fan like my Dad. I chose the Lakes Plus Baseball Road Trip. The "Plus" is why I chose this package. In addition to 5 baseball games & stadiums, we visited the CN Tower, The Henry Ford Museum, The Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame, The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, The Pro Football Hall of Fame, The Roberto Clemente Hall of Fame, and The Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame. All of this in a span of 8 days. Our Tour Host Mindy, was most attentive, and very well organized. While we were on our flight home, she asked "When are we going again?". Well, she will be looking forward to when Sports Travel and Tours sends out the schedule of trips for 2026. Whether your interest is Baseball, Football, Basketball, Hockey, or any other sport, This company has your tickets.

    As a Jersey kid this is probably my most nostalgic venue and I think you'll hear the same from all…read moreof the other Jersey kids you poll. I returned after way too long for the most perfect summer concert with lawn tickets for Jack Johnson and had A BLAST. -Decently easy and well organized parking. You'll probably run into a few snags if you are trying to park in the same lot as others you drove separately from as they are directing traffic into specific locs. Also, once you are in the parking lots there is basically no cell service. -The walk from parking lots to the venue is anywhere from 10-25 minutes. -The lawn is PERFECT for a summer concert. Just hope that the weather is nice and it hasn't rained in the last day or so. Bring blankets or you can rent folding chairs. There doesn't seem to be a bad seat in the house. -Canned seltzers, wine and beer were all around $15 each I think? Not too bad. Just a great night and happy to be back at PNC.

    Still have not heard back from Rep who asked about my experience!…read more__________________________________________________________________ My wife surprised me with tickets to John's concert to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the first time we saw him together at Madison Square Garden. That concert remains one of our favorite memories. Unfortunately, our experience at PNC was the complete opposite. In my 62 years, it was one of the worst experiences I've ever had at a live event. When we purchased our tickets, we also reserved four lawn chairs. Upon arriving, we were sent to three different locations to retrieve them. One location was closed, another didn't exist, and the final location in the upper deck--where we apparently should have been directed in the first place--had already run out of chairs. One of the couples with us is in their 70s, and all six of us ended up standing for nearly three hours. Had we known there would be no chairs available despite paying for them, we never would have purchased lawn tickets. To make matters worse, another couple in our group paid to bring all six of us into the Cadillac VIP area, hoping we could at least sit there. Unfortunately, there was still nowhere to sit. One of our 72-year-old guests briefly sat on a storage box containing towels and was immediately told she had to get up. She wanted to leave the concert, but because we all traveled together in one car, she stayed so as not to inconvenience the rest of the group. Beyond the chair issue, we all felt the venue was significantly overcrowded. It created an uncomfortable and, frankly, unsafe atmosphere. Whether or not it actually exceeded capacity, it certainly felt that way, and the concern over what could happen in an emergency added unnecessary stress throughout the evening. In the end, we paid $80 for chairs we never received, $60 for VIP section, spent nearly three hours standing, left with sore backs, and are still talking about how anxious the overcrowding made us feel. What should have been a special anniversary celebration became a very disappointing experience. I'd be happy to speak with you if you'd like to discuss what happened, although I have to admit it would be difficult to say much that was positive about this experience. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

    I've seen two plays here and one was in each of the stages. The latter one was The Most Beautiful…read moreRoom in New York in the larger stage since it was a musical. The former was Small Mouth Sounds and was a mostly silent play. Both were very funny, provocative, and relatable. The theaters are both on the smaller scale but they have enough accommodations for the types of plays they host. As you walk in, a bar is present that offers the full range of drinks, alcohol included, and snacks. Because the box office is smaller, there is not as much milling about by the other guests as people try to take their seats. However, there is a queue as people try to find their seats. You would think that for such a small theater it wouldn't be that difficult or take so long but I guess not. For myself, I bought each of my tickets so long ago, so I did not remember where my seats are. Anyways, as I said the plays were phenomenal! I think CT theater (Hartford included) does not get enough credit for the types of plays and actors we are able to pull. If you are on the fence about visiting, just go already.

That was THEN before the shuffling around to various locations. With the current direction of selling the public on "mobile" theatre is a no-go form me. Haven't been there since before covid. I'm retired and look forward to visiting a stable location, I have no interest for "new" unfamiliar locations being as though I live a hour away traveling interstate 91. Bad move in my opinion so I haven't been back. I'm usually at Hartford Stage or Theatre works, stable, great shows without the searching all over town. Long Wharf, get your stuff together and I'll return when you do.
