My and my wife had the amazing opportunity to watch Backstreet Boys there. One of the best days of our life. Great building. The sound in the arena its wonderfully clear. Love the place.

I absolutely love Bass Concert Hall! Its a bit pricey for drinks, but you get good portion sizes and good wine. Dont forget to bring your see through bags tho, granted they provide them for you on your way into the facility! I love all the Broadway musicals that come through this place and the warm spirit of everyone who works here! Thanks for providing such a great experience no matter which seat youre in!

Very nice venue, challenging to get in if youre unaccustomed to navigating UT campus. Hamilton here was amazing. Clear gorgeous sound. Nice and helpful staff.

Bass Concert Hall is Austins hidden gem! I love the exterior grounds surrounding the Bass, and I adore the volunteer ushers! Mainly I LOVE the audience for their great laid back ways too! Any show here is a pleasure! All the seats are great for sound and view. Being part of the UT Campus is such a PLUS!You get to come here for cheap when you are a student--how great is that?

Went to see Cats here!! Beware the clear bag policy, but they can provide if you dont have your own! Very clean and well organized!!

Great acoustics and plenty of room for a large crowd. Wish it was more accessible for the handicap. It was very difficult for my son to navigate safely up all of the steps and slippery areas. Other than that it was a great show and we plan on returning for future events.

The stage is too far away to actually see anything well in the balcony seating and the stairs are steep! Come early due to security and bag checks. Police are everywhere. Nice outside balcony on the top level and interesting artwork on interior. Top floor also has an area where you can draw on the walls!

Saw my favorite comedian Jo Koy here. Beautiful facility. Only gripe was that I brought in my smallest crossbody purse (tiny 8.5x5), and it was deemed too big Other than that....cant complain.

Saw Ghost, narley metal rock band from Sweden. The Bass Concert Hall is a very well designed and entertaining venue. From our seats the concert was awesome. The lead signer knew how to keep the fans happy. Austin!

Such a great experience! I took my son to see Aladdin and accidentally came on the wrong night. Ticket Services not only exchanged my tickets but moved me from the balcony to Row K in Orchestra! Love this venue and their staff!!!

Sound was awful! Could barely hear in the upper balcony. Not to mention the silly clear bag policy. I work in a highly secured building and we dont have that policy. Think that will be my last Bass Concert Hall show.

Beautiful concert hall. I attended the Trevor Noah show and was delighted with my view. I knew I was going to be close but I felt I was almost on stage. Staff at this venue were all super friendly and we were able to enter and exit without any issue. I would love to see another show here.

We went to see the Broadway musical Dear Evan Hanson at the Bass Concert Hall. We parked near the LBJ Library for fifteen dollars and cut across to the concert hall. After security screening, we found our seats with the help of very pleasant docents, and enjoyed a most modern story with a sad, but relevant theme. The venue is amazing for sound!

The acoustics were were great. Easy to get in. Parking close by and valet service. Facts to know: while there is a clear bag policy there is also a wallet size limit and many women had to use the lockers just outside. 2nd level restrooms are women only with mens on 1st and 3rd (thats as high as I explored).

The staff was amazing and really made all us nerds feel welcome (critical role live show). Even when the show ran over the projected end time, they continued to be kind and helpful. I had a blast but the staff made it that much more enjoyable. Thank you for a grand night!

The experience was amazing. Just didnt like that it was a seating kind of thing. . But the sound was amazing. The light show was amazing. The whole thing was great!

This venue is really nice and it sounds great inside! Its a little tough to see the act from the 6th floor. Also if you dont feel like walking up six flights of stairs, good luck. The elevators get really packed for the amount of people that want to use them so keep that in mind. The legroom isnt that great for people six feet and taller.The one thing that sucks is the parking. These people charge you $15 to park in a spot on Robert Dedman when you dont have to pay any other time, thats highway robbery!Other than that I enjoyed the venue. The parking issue made the experience terrible.

Hello Dolly! Is an awesome musical! Love the dancing and period costumes. Worth driving from San Antonio to Austin on a Thursday night.UPDATE: I was fortunate enough to catch Thursdays 1:00 oclock performance of Aladdin ... although we missed the first three songs due to traffic issues. Have tickets to see Aladdin at the Majestic in April but received notice that the show was cancelled due to that AWFUL virus. Guess I will not get to see Hamilton this summer in Houston ... sigh.

Bass Concert Hall is always a Lovely venue with Fab acoustics and comfortable seating. Its really convenient that they are setting up beer and drink tents out front before shows. Ladies, your purse has to be clear or pocket-sized to go inside. Otherwise, you have to pay for a locker.

Awesome venue for concerts and Broadway shoes, you usually want to get at least First Balcony as further up really takes the experience away from you.

AWESOME!!! Hamilton was AMAZING. The seats in Orchestra 2 were roomy with lots of leg room.

My fairly cheap seat was pretty good. The worst seats look like they provide a better view than the worst seats in some other theaters. Idk. The seats arent nasty. The ushers and such are chill. My lowbrow word choice is making some of you disregard my opinion. Thats probably reasonable.

Bass is a great place to catch a show! I highly recommend going here if someone you like or are interested in is going to be here. Make sure and follow the bag rules. My wife showed up with a clutch that wasnt see-through and we had to put it in a locker outside.

Concert venue on UT campus. Moderate size with almost cozy atmosphere.

Love this venue. Plenty of parking around, beautiful area, and is on the best campus around! The facilities are clean with plenty of helpful staff to guide you to your seat

Great place for an awesome band! Ladies dont bring any purses unless they are really small. If you do you have to rent a little locker for $10. I forgot that we are living in a time where we all have to go through a metal detectors but Im wondering why it didnt go off with the rod in my femur?

Went here to see Cats! It was the most amazing show I have ever seen and it was done brilliantly by the cast. Truly an exceptional visit!

Saw Les Miserables here on 9.12.19 with my husband and we were incredibly disappointed.The venue’s acoustics are horrible. The music was being played so loud that it was extremely difficult to understand the lyrics of any of the songs. My husband has seen the movie and I have not, but we were both completely lost throughout the show and had no clue what was happening.To make it worse, the people seeing the show were incredibly rude and were constantly getting up and down out of their seats. People were using phones during the show as well, which has never happened when I’ve seen shows in NYC, LA, or Boston.As others have mentioned the lighting on stage was really poor, as were the special effects so it was very difficult to see.The seats are spaced very far apart. When you sit down in theaters in NYC or Boston, many times your knees are extremely close to the back of the seat in front of you. This can be a bit uncomfortable, but it’s a much better viewing experience because the seats at the back of the orchestra section are much closer to the front.Tickets were obviously cheaper than they would be in a top city, but still a waste of money nonetheless.Avoid this venue - save up and see shows in a top city if you want a good experience.

Outstanding venue!Honestly not a bad seat in the house!!!A great night out and they offer something for everyone during the year.A “Must experience”!

Such a fabulous venue for shows and theater. I love this place. Parking $15 in garages day of event. You can buy online ahead of time. I recommend season tickets for BAA performances. Pay attention to the clear bag policy or it will cost you.

Great venue that hosts wonderful events near the UT campus.

Great intimate place on the University of Texas campus to watch a show. Theyll typically have a ballet, but theres a parking garage not too far away. The place is clean and will organized. With that new clear bag policy, if you forget and dont bring a clear back,they provide lockers in front where you can keep purses and stuff.

I went to see Jesus Christ Superstar last night. It was fabulous! The Bass Concert Hall is on the North side of the University of Texas campus. The sound was great! I was in the lower balcony which is the 4th floor. I wish that I had brought opera glasses. The parking garage is convenient but there is some walking involved with some hills. The campus is awesome at night.

Great venue. Clear bag policy. Plan early arrival as parking is often difficult.

I came here thinking it was going to be a small little show. I went to see Jesus Christ Superstar and this show was freaking GOOD. Bass Concert Hall did it again. I remember coming here when I was a kid and saw Beauty and the Beast and that was good too! Highly recommend for date night

Wonderful space for all sorts of events. Weve seen lots of Broadway shows here but also Primus and Kronos Quartet. Good acoustics. Always a nice evening out.

Beautiful local venue for all sorts of performances.

The hall itself isnt so bad, as long as you are one the ground floor. The chairs in the balconies are small and miserable, not to mention how steep and dangerous the stairs to get to the seats. Even with ushers lighting the way with flashlights, my husband still fell. And if you have small children, Id stay away from the balconies, especially closer to the front seating in the balconies. Id be terrified with young kids up close on those balconies. Sound is great, but thought it could have been better.

It was great. I watched the Aladdin show and had so much fun!

The seating was amazing the food is amazing and I loved they have a bar. First balcony row t seats were awesome !! Definitely will be back for another concert

It’s great. Well decorated and maintained facility.

Venue is very nice and well kept. The seating was good. Ushers are very polite and helpful. Sound was quality of the show was great. Only thing negative I would say is the drinks/cocktails are over priced in my opinion. Otherwise had a great experience.

Really enjoyed the performance here. Note, try not to sit near doorways on upper levels... a bit noisy in those areas.

Very good location. Had a hiccup with the location of the parking garage, but that’s separate than this. We had went off of the location given when printing the parking passes for the event. FYI, if going to the San Jacinto garage, just type that in specifically so you won’t go to the wrong location. The address that it gave originally had taken us to the San Antonio Garage, (that’s not the correct one).Anywho! The bass hall was very clean and well organized. There were a lot of people there willing to help, especially if you looked confused. It was fairly easy to get in and find the seats and the restroom. I went for the Criss Angel event and it was amazing.

Great sound! Kind attendants ! #jasonisbell

Watch the “CATS” here. Check out their Broadway in Austin shows. Seats are very steep, a bit scary when you stand up, but then, nobody in the front will block your view.

Attended a Broadway Across America show. We dont usually go to Austin for these, but took the opportunity. Really wish they had communicated the bag policy prior to us walking in the theater. The trailer where you could rent a locker was a nice, but rather expensive, creepy touch. The show was amazing, the theater experience... Not so much.

I like this venue a lot. Most of the shown secure our Broadway tours. Theres a sort of secret entrance on the side of the building that is great for people with disabilities. You cant park there, but its a handy place.to be dropped off from a rideshare service.

Saw John Leguizamo, Dec 4, 2019. Sat in row G seat 122 and enjoyed a great show from a very active comedian who is great at storytelling. Got to take pics and he signed our shirts. Great show in a wonderful hall.

Great place to see a performance. Parking is good but arrive early for big shows - very early can net you street parking in close. Drinks are pricey and the intermezzo food options are generally a bad idea.

Every single time I’ve been to this theatre in the last 20 years it’s been absolutely perfect. A few years ago this would’ve gotten 4 stars, but the new clear bag policy that has to be the size of a baby clutch is crazy. Especially, people who have to carry medication. How embarrassing to have meds just on display for the theatre!

Bass is probably one of my least favorite theatres/concert halls to visit. The whole venue needs to be update. The signage is not obvious in the main lobby, so several people get turned around, unsure of where they need to go. The seating inside the theatre doesnt allow for people to get by easily when someone arrives late. This causes everyone in the long rows to get up for that person blocking vision behind those rows.

My husband and I went to this facility to see stand up comedian, Jo Koy. We were really worried there was going to be no parking with this being in down town Austin. They proved us wrong! They has a rather large parking garage just a hop, skip and a jump away from the hall. When we got there, it was very clean and well put together. Including the bathrooms, and we all know that doesnt happen often. All of the staff was very courteous and helpful. Tje is one and only reason they are not getting 5 stars, is we were crammed into the theater like sardines. There wasnt much leg room, and the seats were very uncomfortable. But in all honesty, it was such a great experience, I wouldnt even second guess going back again!!!!!!!!

Nice concert hall with good acoustics IF you can get floor seats, then I can recommend it. Otherwise the mezzanine and the upper seats are not worth it.

Massive venue with 3000 seats and two balconies. The upper balcony isnt for those with a fear of heights! Seats are rather small with limited leg room. Well appointed with beverage servings on each level. Beautiful theater.

Seats are too close. Like old movie theatre seats. Had to sit sideways with my shoulders shrugged for over 90 minutes. No center aisle so had to scoot past 20 people/seats. Acoustics and lighting were awesome. Not enough bathrooms; huge line for the mens room after the show. Parking is available in front of sid Richardson hall on red river st. We parked for free but it was Sunday night.

I went to see Al Green and saw Tank and the Bangers as the opening act! Bass Concert Hall is an excellent venue! The staff is the best! The vibe was so smooth. The crowd was so diverse ,warm and loving! I think because it is such a beautiful space it allowed people to really enjoy themselves!

Great venue for large shows. I sat in the very last row, but the sound system is great and my view was not blocked. Cant complain since I bought one of the last tickets left Loved it.

Great atmosphere, great acoustics!

I went to see Fiddler on the Roof and I was blown away by the talented performers and the portrayal of this classic story. The concert hall had excellent acoustics and seating was great. I sat in Balcony 1 and saw it all with no problem. They also had more than enough staff to help take care of any request you have. A wonderful experience!

Aside from having to pay $10 to store my clutch purse because it was bigger than an index card, a fantastic experience.

Great venue. Staff were tremendously helpful. Very convenient parking. Chairs seemed to be well maintained.

Very nice concert hall. The seats were comfortable and I had a great view from the balcony. This venue has 3 different seating levels, each with a bar on it. The venue had room for waiting outside the concert hall also, before they opened the doors.

Excellent facility. Will definitely come to another show here

Great venue for seeing plays. Easy parking nearby great acoustics for concerts etc.

Absolutely outstanding performance. The energy level and talent of the entire cast was evident throughout.

Bought tickets to see Waitress on tour. My first time at the Bass in Austin. I was pleasantly surprised that the theater was different in architecture than the one in Fort Worth. Much more modern. But this suited the UT campus just fine. The staff was quite helpful and friendly which made the 2 1/2 hour long trip seem a lot shorty. Excellent a acoustics and lighting were top notch.

Good theater if you have short legs. But for tall people its going to be long night. The venue is clean and easy to navigate but the sound at the back isnt that great and from there people on the stage just look like colored blobs. Basically, dont be taller than 5ft and dont sit at the back and youll be OK.

Watched Hamilton and it was great....some volunteers are push to empty the theater but didnt see I was in a wheelchair and was a bit rude.

Great venue. Drinks crazy over priced. Ridiculously so.

Lovely place, Ive seen some really wonderful plays here

Always a great experience! Friendly staff and great shows.

We saw the “Harry Potter music experience” and were blown away. The orchestra was excellent, the sound was incredible even though we sat in the back row. Intermission was a bit crowded at first but, the vendors did a good job of moving people along with quick service. We enjoyed a nice list of 4-6 cocktails and 4 local craft beers available. Lots of candy and other items for kids as well. The theater is very clean and well kept. The bathrooms are small unfortunately. Overall this venue is an excellent place for music and entertainment!!

Very poorly designed venue. Seats are lined up directly behind each other rather than offset, and rows arent elevated enough so youll be staring at the back of the head of the person in front of you. Also, they were pumping air freshener through the vents. So if you are sensitive to smells, youll have trouble. I will not ever come back to this venue.

We had 1st balcony seating and I really don’t think there is a bad seat in the house after having gone to the show. Great venue!

Good space but wouldnt recommend high, back balcony for a play or musical unless you bring very powerful binoculars!

Great concert venue.

Had to throw away a wallet so I wouldnt be late to the show. Make sure youre aware of the new bag policy. Basically post card sized only allowed. Grateful for safe public spaces, though. Rock on!

Very disappointed the way we were treated. My wifes first outing in several weeks doing chemo. I was not permitted to bring a snack I bought her on the 3rd floor. She had to come out to eat. I was very disappointed.

Really a great venue for various theatrical and musical performances. Row seating (lower level) least desired because access is at either ends and no center access. Therefore, many patrons, getting to their seats are passing over many seated patrons. Anyhow, the venue has really good acoustics, comfortable seats, and unobstructed view.

We went to see Eddie B. here. It is important to note that they require clear bags at this venue now. You either have to leave your purse in your vehicle and use their clear bag for items such as cell phone, wallet, etc. or check your bag in a locker. However, once the show is over you are competing with everyone to get to your items. Parking was $15 but pretty close. They served a limited number of drinks. Staff was extremely friendly.

Great place to go for all the best shows. Did not take long to get in and were able to get to our seats quickly. Full bars were up when we attended. Staff was courteous and quick to assist.

I received tickets from @YelpAustin to see Come From Away this evening and I have to say that the experience was truly rewarding. My wife and I made a date of it--and found free parking not too far away if you dont mind a small walk to Bass Concert Hall at UT from the back-in spots on Dean Keaton. The San Jacinto parking garage is a little closer for $15 and I saw Valet available too. Honestly, I think the way to go is to eat at the Carillon (ATT Conference Center restaurant) on the other side of the stadium (free validated parking) and the leisurely walk on up or take a 2-min. Lyft. The 3-course tasting menu with paired drinks is my fave at the Carillon, but I digress. Bass Concert Hall is a great venue and this Broadway musical in Austin was real fun. I think I need to get season tickets as everytime I come to something, I always say I should get out more with cultural things in Austin. Drinks are expensive at Bass, as is food, so it really is worth dropping that $$ at the Carillon before hand--a hidden Austin gem.

A great theater venue, but the bag policy and no close parking make it a bit of a hassle

Great place and acoustics for plays. We recently saw Fiddler on the Roof. The view and sound was outstanding. The seats are comfortable. There are many places to park nearby. Lots of security on the streets when you walk to the event.

Weve seen a lot of great shows here. One simple drawback that isnt worth taking a star. The rows are really long and can only be accessed from the ends. Being in the middle is a pain to get in and out. Really needs a center aisle.

If someone or some production is showing that you want to see, this is great place to see them. Allow yourself time to view the artwork by multiple artists on the side hallways of the Orchestra level before, or during intermission (if there is one) of, the performance. There was some wonderful work when I was there and it changes quarterly.

Come from away was awesome! Go see it if you have a chance.

I spent my hard earned money to buy tickets for my 2 sons and 2 granddaughters to see Cats. This is my 2nd time to see it. The first time was at Del Mar College in Corpus Christi, Texas. It was magical that night in 1994 but with the advancement of lighting technology this showing was even more wonderful and spectacular at the Bass Concert Hall! The atmosphere and detail in service at this venue is top notch! Their valet service was exceptional but making sure people with disabilities are treated with kindness and respect is priceless! They go beyond the norm to make sure your experience there is memorable for years to come.

Comfortable, good acoustics, good view of stage, secure facility at U of t, bar and food available.

My husband and I have seen Broadways Phantom of the Opera & Anastasias productions here and we were quite pleased with both productions and facility. The ushers are extremely nice, the seating is comfy and narrow like any theatre experience. I do wish the balcony seats had a little better visibility. We were on the second balcony and it did make it difficult to enjoy some parts of the production that relied on perspective. Other than that, the parking and finding our seats part wasnt all too bad!

Great venue! We have Broadway season tickets and always have a good experience here. This venue is a lot smaller than those in bigger cities so there’s not really a bad seat, even in the very back. The clear bag security measures seem a bit excessive but are understandable. Venue food/drinks are overpriced but so are the university vending machines in the adjoining library.

Recently saw Hamilton, and had a blast. Also saw Wicked here. Of course, the closer you are to the stage, the better the experience will be. But, if you sit in the very back, like we did, I recommend bringing a pair of binoculars (or you can rent a pair for $5 at the guest center). They have pretty expensive food in the lobby area, but it can be nice to splurge on a snack and drink before the show. However, no food is allowed in the theatre. Also, get there 30-45 minutes early, and DO NOT buy from 3rd party vendors to avoid the risk of inflated prices or counterfeit tickets. Parking was around $12 per vehicle.

Always a pretty easy entrance and exit with good amenities at decent prices.

Used to love this place. Used to. Its way too restrictive now. I carry a wallet on a string, and it doesnt fit their standards. All these lovely women dressed up with ugly clear purses. Let everyone see everything, make it easier on the pickpockets. What have we come to? Where has our freedom gone? If they want to check for weapons, fine. But, really, this is too much. We wont be back.

Really nice venue with amphitheatre acustics and University feel

First Rate Theater for Performing Arts and Concerts.October 4, 2018 we saw Steve Martin & Martin Short.What a great show!$9 cocktails are a bit expensive, but it costs a lot to operate this facility, so I understand.Im disabled and needed a freestanding padded chair without armrests. I first spoke to Charlotte who wrote it in her report. Unfortunately, they didnt have one suitable, for my specific needs. She referred me to Alec a supervisor. He was also understanding, and said he would do everything possible, to accommodate me upon my next visit. I couldnt be more pleased, with both of them. They were both sincere and concerned, for my comfort.I look forward, to going to a show soon.By all means, you should check their calendar for upcoming shows.Thank you Charlotte & Alec!See yall soon!

It was Awesome, they gave us a free upgrade.... my granddaughter was STOKED!!

Paid for the premium valet parking 50 bucks and was able to walk out of the show, pick up our keys and go directly to our car. Great new service. We saw the Fiddler on the Roof and it was great. Will be back.

Great sound, comfortable seats, decent food/drink selections.
