The seating isn't too bad. It's a litte awkward when you have the stage on one end and you are sitting along the side. The only bad seats are in the 400 section. I've attending 2 childrens shows in the past couple of months and am going to a concert in the upcoming month. I was able to determine my seats based upon being here previously. The arena is large enough to accomodate and small enough to not get lost in the shuffle.
Pros: Okay seating
Cons: Pricey concession

jeanettefc1215 you are an idiot. $160 for mccartney tickets is cheap. theres outdoor areas for smoking all over the arena. you shoudln't smoke anyway. big suprise you couldn't see him, maybe because the people in the lower decks were paying 3 times as much. stupid thing to criticize phillips for, next time buy better seats or shutup.
Pros: hellz yea

The greatest resource at Phillips is the sense of caring and security provided by the people who work there.At the Clapton concert tonight(6-18-04) my friend, who is handicapped, became too weak to walk to our seats. The security people had a wheelchair brought to her and took us to our seating area, providing us with seats easily accessable, checked on us during the concert, and came back at the end and took us to our entrance.Thank you so much, everyone.
Pros: Safe, Secure, Clean

As a concert venue, Phillips' seats are too close together and the sight lines are horrible. After paying $160.00 for Paul McCartney tickets, I couldn't even see the man and I couldn't cross my legs in the seat, which is unbelievelable since I'm not even 5 foot tall!
Cons: , too expensive, no smoking anywhere

I like the Nava and Pricci locations in the Bank of America Club in Philips Arena. Good value for the quality of food you receive. Also, the seats were very cozy.
Pros: Food, Comfort

This venue is great. I loved the view from the suite at Bon Jovi. Great acoustics and list of upcoming events.
Pros: Events, Sports, Food

Philips Arena works equally well for hockey games and concerts. Though its upper seating does remove you from the action (it's a big place), there aren't many bad seats in the house. Its proximity to MARTA is one of the venue's most convenient features. If you plan to drive your car, expect to pay at least $10 to park, and sometimes more.
Pros: Close to MARTA
Cons: Expensive parking
