Zach Solomon-BeloinJune 27, 2016Large amphitheater with plenty of restrooms and the lines were not too bad. The alcohol prices are outrageous even compared to many Chicago venues, but great time.- Desiree DMay 23, 2018Here are some actual tips 1) Give yourself at least 1 1/2 hours to park and get in to the venue. 2) They will check you bags, pockets, boots, and sunscreen for drugs and alcohol.
- Austin WestermannSeptember 2, 2015This is a perfect venue for a concert on a beautiful summer night. Make sure you remember where you parked your car, finding it afterwards can be a pain
HeatherAugust 2, 2022Alcoholic beverages selection was great ! Many to choose from whatever you prefer 🍹🍻🍷 I got the Strawberry Vodka lemonade. Refills too!
The venue is HUGE! Vans Warped Tour has a good mix of rock-esque genres! Lots to listen to for every one. Food here is damn expensive though! 6 bucks for fries!!?!? Crazy.- Desiree DMay 23, 2018Here are some actual tips 5) Alcohol is is around $15 for tallboys 6) You can bring a sealed water bottle (sometimes they make you twist the cap off)
Don DemickJuly 14, 2013When your ticket says obstructed view, you might not be able to see a good chunk of the stage. The posts in the reserved seating are huge.
Cyndi HolmanJuly 5, 2012"$250 fine of caught tailgating. It's a city ordinance". Tailgating also is sitting in your car drinking water to avoid the heat and waiting for gates to open. Thumbs down.
Jennifer CapriottiSeptember 10, 2014took over an hour with the idiots they have working traffic.Came across a NEW place to park. Across from entrance 4 on Oak Park Ave,large parking lot and cost $15 to park and I was able to tailgate.
ExperienceJune 17, 2014Seat upgrades and exclusive VIP experiences are now available at First Midwest Bank Amp. Upgrading is fast, easy, and fun! Just visit https://livenation.expapp.com from your iPhone or Android.
JustineJune 21, 2014This place is overly intense about rules. Open your water bottles in front of security and give them the bottle cap, food has to be in zip lock baggies, no umbrellas, no chairs, and you get pat down.
Lawn seats are the best! Get there early and relax! Best concert venue iv been too in years!
Conrad KiteAugust 7, 2023Came from Milwaukee to see Matchbox 20 and was impressed with the venue. It’s like a mini-Summerfest grounds.- Desiree DMay 23, 2018Here are some actual tips 3) You may smoke cigarette or cigar at lawn seating. 4) Food is generously portioned and will run you about $15.00.
Jason XAugust 22, 2016Formerly Tinley Park and a bunch of other names. There are some decent outdoor venues and this isn't one of them. Don't come here to see any bands unless you cannot see them anywhere else.
- Emma WebbJune 16, 2013Even if you have lawn seats it's great!! No matter where you are you can see the stage fairly well!!
Collins EzeanyimAugust 26, 2013This venue kind of sucks. It's way out of the way from Chicago proper and with few exceptions the staff doesn't seem to know what they're doing. Only recommended if you MUST see the act playing.- Sherri Ramponi-WaldvogelAugust 19, 2012Even though they don't let you tailgate and chase you out of your car, get there early, and or you will miss part of the show with the terrible parking system.
Don't chug a gallon of vodka with 3 of your buddies in the parking lot thinking you will avoid paying for alcohol inside. You will only be seeing the medical office and/or the security office.
AndyJuly 19, 2010Sound quality sucks here. Do your hearing and your enjoyment a favor and bring a good pair of musicians ear plugs with you. Evens the sound out nicely and won't leave you deaf. Plenty online for 10-20
Jenny HartMay 23, 2017Expensive drinks!! And the off main stage was not ideal. Main stage was great!!
Madhu VulimiriSeptember 7, 2015I would recommend bringing snacks so you don't have to wait in line for overpriced bar food.
Digital Tour BusMay 10, 2011If you don't mind standing, try to get general admission tickets because it is the only sure fire way to get close to the stage!
Wiz KhalifaJuly 27, 2012we right next door to a golf course. Roll up some green while your ball rolls up on the green
Amanda PetrigalaJuly 16, 2013Traffic is awful when leaving. Seriously be ready to wait for awhile to get out of the parking lot when you leave! I've never sat in my car so long to get out of an event after it was over.
Not the best sound, but large performers keep coming here so I have to go!
Mac MillerJuly 27, 2012damn this venue is huge. oh, and they got Deep Dish Pizza out here too...Tinley Park style
Bert PluskaJuly 28, 2017Parking lot needs more location markers - concession prices are ridiculously high and service is painfully slow. Seating is good.
VH1July 21, 2010Tickets for upcoming shows are on sale today only! Look for the roaming ticket sellers in the plazas for your chance to get great deals on great upcoming shows! – Team Live Nation
John HankusJuly 16, 2015Good place for a concert in the south suburbs. Get there early for free parking or else you will be stuck in traffic. Bring a blanket for the lawn seats as the grass can get chewed up after rain.
Donna JeanMay 11, 2013Wear good shoes. The parking lot sucks balls. You have to walk through chunky rocks to get to the gates. Gah. >,<
Nathan NommensenJune 13, 2012The band I saw (Radiohead) was great, but the rest of the experience was bad. Traffic is a nightmare and you had to move immediately into the venue after you park. No tailgating! (Tinley Park law)
- yunita setyawanJuly 23, 2010Sound quality sucks here. Do your hearing and your enjoyment a favor and bring a good pair of musicians ear plugs with you.
- Melissa RosendahlSeptember 1, 2010Go to first Midwest Bank Ampthiteatre see a great concert, enjoy some great rock and roll and try a delicous frozen margarita
Carlie RussellJuly 2, 2012Traffic management isn't very organized, and the acoustics aren't very great either. Other than that, it was fine!
Matt KoskinenJuly 12, 2015staff all say different things and are NOT helpful, good sound quality, work service sucks.
Chelsea NicklesJuly 14, 2013Very expensive refreshments...$11 for 24oz beer. Also, TERRIBLE parking management...didn't see a single person directing traffic.
