I truly do love the Moody. It's a super clean venue. Just the right size to always catch a great view of whatever concert you are seeing or comedian. Not a bad seat in the house. Only draw back tonight was the drop off line had been moved blocks away, even for ADA accommodations. Food vendors always have the best freshest foods. Some companies are usually giving away free samples of something with swag. All of the ushers tonight were super nice and accommodating! The acoustics in the Moody are far better than San Antonio, NRG or American Airlines center. read more

Your typical college arena but with grossly overpriced beverages and rude, grumpy elderly workers. It's sad that this place is the go-to place for concerts in the Austin/San Antonio area. read more

This is the worse concert venue I've ever paid to attend a concert at. My family has been looking forward to seeing George Strait for months! The opening act was schedule to start at 7:30 so we arrived by 5:30. The entrance process was SO BAD that we didn't make to our seats until 7:52!!! This place ABSOLUTELY SUCKS at logistics. Parking is TERRIBLE. The security process is TERRIBLE. The staff was rude and made it out like it was our problem that the lines to clear security took 2 HOURS! The stadium across the street gets 100k in 5-7 times year for football! 16k for a concert shouldn't be a problem. On top of all that our seats were dirty. Food and trash left from a previous event in the cup holders and on the seats. As usual with events associated with the University of Texas if you aren't a rich donor or a corporate sponsor you experience isn't worth caring about. read more

This was my second time visiting Moody Center, arrived solo to see Justin Timberlake. My Uber driver dropped me off in the rideshare area. Had to walk about 15 minutes to get to the gate area. I thought it said doors open at six, but they opened at 6:30. Huge hiccup with the gal that checked my purse and advised me that only clear purses are allowed. I had read the bag policy and my bag was 5x9 x 1.5. (I reread right before writing my review) I just agreed with her and walked away. This venue is very spacious never seems overly crowded even though it was a full house. My seats were blocked by lighting. Not sure if that's on the venue side or the performers side. The show was also supposed to start at 7:30 and did not start till 8 PM. Again, not sure whose side that was on. Heading over to rideshare is absolutely nuts, no directions, people going left, people going right and then turning around and going in different directions. Outside staff members do not know where a rideshare is. They do announce inside the streets for Rideshare. Still confusing, finally found a worker who pointed in the direction of rideshare then it all came back to me that I had walked this way. Walked my 15 minutes to rideshare and it's a hot mess. Roads blocked off, my drivers kept canceling on me even though I booked my Uber early that morning, they kept messaging me and they didn't know how to get in to the rideshare area. They need to ramp up security because lots of random drivers trying to pick people up. read more

What a neat little venue. Bathrooms were amazingly clean the entire show and after, staff was friendly, loved how smoothly everything was. Acoustics were really great. Shaq Chicken was the only bad part. You can tell the use frozen tenders. Mine wasn't cooked all the way through. For what I paid, very disappointing. read more

Very dope architecture in and outside. We got there real early and parked in the Manor garage which was literally steps from the front entrance, it was $62 but if you're a disabled vet, it's ! I ordered a pulled pork SamMich from Stubb's and it was dry as the Sahara. The bread was soggy and falling apart, I went back and added BBQ hopping it would get a lil more moist but it didn't. We were in service 112, Row C, great seats! The sound could've been better for Mario and the DJs but that wasn't the venues fault imo. read more

Damn it's crazy what a year or two can do. Now that I've been back a few times, I can wholeheartedly say that this venue is top notch and they know how to execute an event and logistics. Having the chance to enjoy events and games in suites, floor, seats, or just walking around, everything has intention. I have to say it makes sense why so many shows, concerts, and games are coming to Moody when making a stop in Austin. It is one of the premier venues we have. read more

I would rather travel to any where else than see a concert at the Moody Center. The Moody Center is a multipurpose indoor arena that can seat 15,000 patrons. Since the venue just opened in 2022, ticket prices clearly reflect the costs to make a profit. It makes it almost impossible to enjoy knowing this. I could go to anywhere else in the world for a concert, and would have a better seat for the same price. read more

I have been to the Moody center at least a dozen times and I cannot say too many negative things about it, but mostly positive. My biggest gripe is arriving and leaving the venue. The rideshare location has improved slightly as I take a Lyft every time I go; however, something needs to happen to ensure higher security when waiting for a ride after a show. The last time I went, I had to sit next to a police officer because there were predatory personnel trying to sell me services and food. The prices for beer and alcohol in general are obscene, especially after the high ticket prices. The only time I had an exceptional experience was when I was in a VIP lounge. The acoustics are wonderful, even in the nosebleeds. The civilians are usually the problem as many of them are overly intoxicated. Still, I have enjoyed many experiences of my favorite bands here, but I still consider other venues in Austin over this one. If you were to go to the Moody Center, please do your research on entry and exit as it is very complicated and difficult at times. read more

This may be a small venue, but it has bing sound & a big presence. My first time here & there are plenty of food options. From Stubbs BarBQ to Trisha Yearwoods build it Nacho Bar. The only line I saw was for the Merch. Great photo oops & beautiful murals throughout. If you have not seen a concert here yet, put it on your list. To see my photos of the place in action. Please check out my Insta @MyMijas559. There are some great ones. read more

visiting from new york and it was really unfortunate because the security DO NOT know what they are doing. they took my small digital camera which can fit into my pocket. their protocol only applies to big professional cameras, yet the security were so strict for no reason. they really tried to make me MOODY. not to mention, i visited a month ago too to see jhene aiko and they allowed me to bring my small camera. i went to see kacey musgraves & she, herself did amazing! love her music and it honestly felt like a safe space. read more

I really enjoyed both experiences at the new Moody Center this year. (We joke that there are ten Moody buildings.) The Spurs game was wonderful. Very clean and spanking new. Also the pedestrian traffic flow was very well organized. Great view from anywhere. The Missy Elliott Out of the World concert was intimate and incorporated digital images in the background and ceiling. The sound was exceptional. Food choices were pretty phenomenal for stadium dinner fare. Parking has always been easy if you walk a few blocks in any direction. Looking forward to going to another Spurs game in 2025! read more

We were in section 109, row W and had So much room and could see things great! We got last minute tickets for only $34 for the Jonas Brothers. They have a good lineup of artists year to year at this venue at least. Everything looks very nice here, but it is still extremely new building. It did seem like they don't have a good check in process at this venue. There were Long lines outside of the building barely a half hour before the opener started. Not sure why they waited so long to let people in and if that was the norm, but if you let people in earlier you'll sell more stuff. They were trying to train new people in the security lines so it was taking forever and the process was unclear for visitors and frustrating. I definitely recommend using a driving app service to get to this venue. The only parking near is the Moody Center parking garages that are $37 minimum and you still have to walk a bit. Not very accessible. Insane. This venue, however cool looking, is basically on top of campus which is super annoying and adds to how difficult it is to get there and why there are no other options for parking. Near the end of the concert we were looking for water options, but all the vendors were closed and the very kind medical team gave us one for our walk back to the car. read more

This new entertainment and sports arena is a terrific addition to the city of Austin. My first visit to this venue was memorable due to the impressive amount of amenities and entertainment options that are built into the structure. There is no shortage of food, beverage, and merchandising stands in the concourse area as well as a more private area near each seating deck. Every seat in the arena has a good view of the performance area with no obstructions and good sight lines. Other reviewers complain about parking not being near to the building and lower their reviews to reflect those issues. I disagree. The venue itself has nothing to do with your parking problem. This is a world-class venue in Austin and I'm happy that I got to check it out . read more

This is the place where there's a statue of Willie Nelson and a big staircase to the entrance. So many Moody this and that, it's easy to get confused on which venue is which. I've been here so many times and always have had a great time. From high in the nosebleed section to down on the floor seats. The views are all good and none that I'm aware are obstructed views. Lots of stairs but they also have elevators. Bars are at various levels, while a bit pricey, the staff is quick and friendly. They sell doubles so it saves you the trip of going again during a show. The washrooms are clean and I adore all the photos of amazing performances on the walls. Parking can be a bit of a challenge since it's downtown and lots of bars and restaurants around as well as the movie theatre. If you shark around enough you can get lucky with street parking but garages are also around. The sound is really nice with no echo and bouncing back audio. If you smoke, you can go to the outside landing of the stairs and bring your drink with you. Downstairs on the floor level is a bar and where they sell merchandise. It can get a bit crowded especially just before the show and after. For a big venue, it's my favorite in Austin for a variety of reasons. One is that it's inside so no matter the weather, you're golden. Also no giant pillars that block the view. I'm not sure why my pics aren't loading but I'm always taking pictures of not only the acts but of the rest of the place. I especially enjoy the couches to lounge on to chill before the show or in between bands. read more

I can't say enough about this venue. There is not a bad seat. We've seen 5+ shows here including Roger Waters and now KISS (their final Austin show...ever). Fantastic sound, unobstructed views, perfect. I can't comment on food/drink prices or value as we never buy anything at the venue. It is a must to buy parking beforehand unless you enjoy hunting. Spend the cash and park next to the venue. When the doors open it is naturally a HUGE line. We waited in our car and pretty much walked in after a five minute line 20 minutes before the show. This was for KISS...sold out show. read more

Spacious venue with couple parking garages that are at a comfortable walking distance. I would urge you to call before RSVPing a garage parking space that would double/triple the cost online. Be ready to spend $$ as Drinks were about $20 a pop BUT note that this is a no cash spot... it's a card only venue. i did see that they have a clear bag rule, but tons of people had purses/bags that weren't clear/see-through. Security/ticket checkers were doing their job. They could only do so much with the crowd, especially after some had one to many beverages. Fortunately they maintained the level of professionalism needed to get their point across. Kudos to them! Informative website... Highly encourage you to check them out and know what to expect before heading that way : https://moodycenteratx.com Manor Garage https://parking.utexas.edu/parking/garages/manor-garage-mag read more

It was a wonderful experience to view a venue here. The seating levels provide a good view of the performances. It is a little confusing to find your seats if you have not been here. The seats do have a small cushion that makes sitting more comfortable. I saw Penatonix last night. It was their final show on this tour. It was a beautiful show adding to the Christmas spirit! The prices for food are a little expensive but available for your convenience. You will be checked going in for contraband. The place is pretty clean for the number of people attending the events. If you park, it is a walk to get to the Center. If you ride-share, it is confusing on where to get picked up due to all the traffic. I did enjoy my venue and will visit again. read more

The Moody Center is a terrible music venue. It's a sports arena, not designed for music concerts. As a result the sound tends to be very loud and very muddy. The seating is very uncomfortable. Sightlines to the stage aren't great. There is not adequate parking nearby, so it's a long walk to the arena. Prices for everything, from parking to food are rapacious. I've been to two concerts at the Moody Center and I won't go there again. The Moody Theater, on the other hand, is a fantastic venue. There are many terrific places to see concerts in Austin, but the Moody Center is not one of them. read more

A year later and I returned to the Moody for the Peter Gabriel concert. My previous two star review is now a solid one star. The biggest issue the sound. Parking is still a mess. I paid $30 for state owned garage a half mile away. I feel sorry for anyone with mobility issues trying to attend an event here. You may get dropped off fairly close but pick-up will be near impossible. The sound problem here is unbelievable. I've now sat in top deck and lower deck and both have had problems. Tonight I was in Sec. 110, Row Q and while the view was good, the sound was terrible. For the entire show Gabriel sounded like he was singing through a speaker phone and the mix was off. Normally, I'd blame the artist's sound guy but after two shows with big names, I have to assume it's the building. Food and drink are also pricey, more so than the average venue. A small bbq sandwich and drink was $28. Sad to say but this is my last show at the Moody. I honestly can't think of an act that would get me back here. I'd rather drive to Houston for a show than see another one here. read more

Total rip off!! Bought tickets months ago for the Laney Wilson concert for my daughter. Our seats were horribly high that scared my young daughter. We asked to move seats to some of the many empty seats mid concert and was denied. I was forced to purchase new tickets to be comfortable with no refund or discount even though the concert had already started. The real kicker is the new tickets were less than half of what I spent on the originals. read more

Just saw a Pearl Jam concert here and really liked the venue. Never been here before and thought it was a great place to watch a concert! Music was great and even the bit so great seats had great visibility! I went to Texas A&M so not supposed to like anything at UT but can't help myself - lol! My only complaint was the time it took to get an Uber to leave. Had to walk a mile and then stairs and then another mile to get to the end of the line of cars- this needs work! Other than that enjoyed the venue... read more

Thoroughly enjoyed my concert experience at the moody center. The restrooms were clean, seats were clean, and it wasn't hot or stuffy like other venues can get. The concession lines on the first floor were ridiculously long, but if you only want a drink, try the 200 sections. The sound was very good and made for a great experience. I'm definitely excited to return. read more

Parking can be a headache. The street parking is limited to UT permitted vehicles and the closest garages are still a fair walk (especially in the rain and uphill). Traffic becomes untenable as soon as your event is over! At our most recent event for Lindsay Stirling we got decent priced seats even after fees $60/each and they were not too far back. Seats are of course very close together and just wide/long enough to accommodate a 6' human. Drinks are very overpriced. Your closest seat members will be the male or break good time at the event as sometimes we're seated next to annoying event goers. Anytime someone needs to leave the row everyone has to stand to let them pass. Sound is sometimes very loud and sometimes not clear enough to understand. read more

Had a great time seeing Bruce Springsteen. Brin an on-campus facility, parking is a real hassle. Gotta plan to get here early since parking in all of Austin difficult and pricy. I was blessed to have access to the pit in front of the stage so my experience is different than many others. The sound was kind of sketchy in certain parts but not sure if that's the band's issue or the arena. The building is gorgeous and the drinks were cheap than Los Angeles arenas. Bruce rocked and we had a killer time. read more

Venue is great. Acoustics and seat views are a significant improvement over the drum. Ticket prices are generally ridiculous. Parking is non-existent (it's an Austin thang!) unless you want to drop another $50. Ride share drop-off is a mile away. Might as well pay to park. Once you get inside, navigation is relatively easy and there are plenty of nice folks to help you out if you're lost. There are a plethora of ridiculously overpriced food and drink options. SOMEONE! Please, tell me why a beer is $3 at the Texas Chili Parlor, $6 everywhere else, but $18 once you step inside the magical Moody kingdom. I'll be back. But grudgingly. And only b/c I already have concert tickets. read more

This was my first time to attend a concert at the Moody Center. It's very modern & seems new. In fact it opened in 2019! Came to watch the Justin Timberlake Concert and was impressed by the facility from the swift check-in & Security line to the food concession stands. It's not a big stadium so I think most seats have great views of the performers. I hate when you sit in the nose-bleed sections and are watching the jumbotron screens vs. the actual performer. If you can afford it, you might as well pay a bit more money for a better view, otherwise just watch them on a streaming platform. We were trying to find our "Portal" so an attendant told us our seats were downstairs on the first floor. Bathrooms were nearby and very clean & modern as well. The concert was slated to start at 7:30pm so my friend & I used the self service food & beverage stand. I got a Pineapple Cider which I believe was about $17 and also got large pizza slices that were about $11 each. My friend chose 1 Pepperoni slice and 1 Sausage slice that was packaged in cardboard boxes. The pizza wasn't really warm nor piping hot but as it's grab n' go. I was fine with that. Upon checkout, an attendant may ask for your ID if you are buying beer/cider. There are other stands that are just for purchasing mixed drinks, etc. We saw the line for the JT merchandise and a photo area so we just went to our seats, drank & ate our pizza. We took a photo around 9pm since JT didn't start and there was only 2 people ahead of us. There was a DJ playing to the crowd from 7:30-9:11pm when JT started his performance. He played for a couple of hours. Exiting wasn't bad but trying to catch a rideshare was a little hike as cars were lined up. Police were telling folks to walk to another street to catch Uber/Lyft as it was so backed up and other cars had to exit from the adjacent parking lot. The Moody Center is near the UT Campus and accessible within the highway and downtown hotels so it's very convenient. It only seats 15,000 people so it's not too bad getting out. read more

Favorite concert venue in Austin! Sure the security check point can occasionally be a little slow but they have so many lines around the venue so its not that bad (ive seen worse at other major cities). Drinks and food are not too expensive. I love how they have special cocktails for different concerts / artists. Bathroom lines are not too bad and i find it easy to enter and leave the venue. read more

I can't get enough of this venue! Been to this venue plenty of times and overall I really love it. Sooo many food options and I love how they make signature drinks for certain events specific to the main artist. From big comedy shows to spectacular music artists. So far the cost of tickets isn't bad if you get them early for any event. Now I will say, drinks are expensive so if you're looking to have beer or mixed drinks be ready to come out of pocket. The food is diverse, bbq, burgers, sushi, pizza and many more options. The service is always quick since it's busy but nothing too crazy and the workers don't seem overwhelmed. This venue is not only downtown but also near the UT campus, so please get there early if you want to find convenient street parking. Ready for my next event! read more
