    First time at the Showbox SoDo. Was seeing a line up of 6 pop punk bands. The parking for the event was close by and very straight forward. They had people directing cars to keep it all straight. The line moved fairly quickly. Security was short and to the point. I think a lot of that process is mostly because the concert crowds know what they can and can't bring in. The had a rather large section for the 21+ bar area. As far as we could see the bar did not offer food. There was a concession stand that offered very basic simple snacks (chips, rice crispies, candy) and a decent amount of drink options. They accepted cash and card. The string lights are adorable. The air conditioning ducts did start to drip (just from condensation build up) so if you don't want Water dripping on you don't stand under the ducts. Didnt use restrooms.

    Had an amazing time seeing kid Laroi the only downfall is it gets so hot in there! We had about 4 people in the venue pass out, but the staff was on it and passed out water to everyone who needed or wanted water. I had a blast 10/10 recommend but, stay hydrated!!! :)

    This review is for the door staff last weekend at the Clozee show on 12/9. You were super dope. We showed up late and everyone working the door/security had great vibes and good energy. I can only imagine what it was like herding the well enthused patrons earlier. Just wanted to say thank you and that I appreciate you. As far as the venue... Im short so I dont go to that venue unless tagging along. But the market location is my favorite place to see a show... Cause I can actually see it~

    This is a great venue to see a concert. I saw Bebe Rexha in concert. Most of the venue is standing, which makes the atmosphere fun. They serve very good and affordable drinks. The bar staff are extraordinary, they are very friendly and make an excellent drink. I really enjoyed this venue.
