Advice on the Hollywood casino Amphitheatre/Riverport
What are the lawn seats like? Can you see the main stage show from it? I keep winning the radio stations lawn seats to go see Janet Jackson. And I'm trying to see if I should just up and purchase closer to the stage.
Done going to shows at Hollywood Casino Amphitheater
On Tuesday I left my house in South City at 5;30 for a show starting at 7:00. Traffic into the venue was backed up for miles. By the time I made it into the security line, the opening act had already started. By the time I found a tiny spot on the over crowded lawn for my…

Is reserved parking worth it at the Hollywood casino amphitheater?
Hi there! Going to a concert this summer at the amphitheater, is paying the price for reserved parking worth it? My friends don’t really care about the opener and don’t want to arrive early for them, so want to try and make leaving that lot as little of a nightmare as I can.

What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors generally find the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre St. Louis to be a well-maintained venue with courteous staff, offering a good concert experience. However, recent policy changes regarding parking fees and chair rentals, along with high concession prices, have led to dissatisfaction for some. The quality of the performances themselves is often praised, overshadowing some of the venue's drawbacks for dedicated fans.
"The venue itself was clean; so clean that I really took notice. Staff was courteous, friendly, & knowledgeable. Nothing crazy overcrowded. (We arrived just as the 2nd opener was done, so there shouldn't be overcrowding.) Merch & booze lines were long, but that is to be expected anywhere. The only reason we're not at ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ is because they finally decided to start charging for parking. We took a shuttle so it was a non-issue for us. But, the sign that I half-glanced at said $45/$60. I guess this is for two different tier levels of parking. Regardless, charging that much for parking is absurd. Criminal almost. The first year you start charging, you're going to rob people? Not cool. Blink 182 was phenomenal. 😵"

"Went to a Rod Stewart concert and his show was fabulous!
Cheap Tricks was the pre band and they were awful! They sang off key the whole time.
We were outside and it was hot! However, that was to be expected in St Louis in Aug.
a vendor was giving away free hand fans and that was nice, the fan in the area we were in was not turned on but the others were. It would have been nice if the fan could have been turned on.
They were great at moving the crowd quickly while checking our tickets.
I would go back if they offered something I was interested in."
Becca Kern
"This is actually a great venue but I had to take off a couple of stars due to some recent changes in operations.
They manage traffic fantastically and its super easy to get in and out. The place is well maintained and has a lot to offer. However, they now charge $20 and up to park. You used to be able to bring your own lawn chair for the lawn seats, no more, now its $15 per. They have a great variety of food and drink, but be prepared to spend a small fortune.
So because they nickle and dime you so much I could only give them 3 stars. If they reverse these policies I'd give them a solid 5 stars."
