Editorial Review for Chastain Park Amphitheatre – by Ginger Massey
The Scene
A mile from all the Buckhead boozing sits an intimate outdoor stage, nestled in the trees of Chastain Park. This summertime standby sells tickets for tables by the stage (which seat six), orchestra seats and general admission to the lawn. The musical attractions run toward icons with a little gray in the hair: Moody Blues, Aretha Franklin, Kenny G., Santana, Elvis Costello and James Taylor.
The Experience
Socializing and food come first, music second. Table holders bring elaborate candelabras, tablecloths and four-course meals. Lawn dwellers spread out blankets and get comfortable with their picnic baskets and bottles of wine. Sit back and enjoy the scenery and try not to get too irritated if you can't hear your favorite group above the chatter.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoTables are first offered to those who buy tickets to all shows in a series. If all tables are not sold as a series, they go up for individual sale.
The ExtrasYou can buy food and drink inside (catered by Proof of the Pudding), or from a concession stand.
Save TimeAll concerts are rain or shine. Also, coolers and picnic baskets are sometimes allowed, sometimes not. Save yourself a headache and call ahead.

I went to see Steppenwolf and Deep Purple a couple of months ago and was very disappointed! The sound was so low I could barely hear it from the box seats! It is not a good venue for a rock concert! The snobby people in the crowd were very disappointing even to the point where Ian Gillian from Deep Purple asked if it was a tea party! The fact that this is an outdoor venue with no place to smoke is also very disappointing! I wanted to go to the Riders on the Storm show but changed my mind remembering all those unpleasant things. You feel like a idiot here if you stand up and clap! It is a nice venue but is mismanaged and even the workers or volunteers are rude! Go see an orchestra here but stay away for a rock show. Your wasting your money because you can't hear it!
Pros: coolers and own food
Cons: snobby attitudes
