The Park is great! But the big screens were not working? During the show. We could not really see the Artist and the Jumbo Screens would have made the experience so much better.

So my daughter and I have been to five covers this year, all in different venues. This was a very cool venue, not a bad seat in the house, sound was awesome. We like the shops, bathroom and food area. It's behind you so it doesn't interfere with the concert. The only complaint is that the concert has to be over with by 11pm, if they could fix that we would so buy season passes.

Parking pass for the red lot cost me $181!!! There is no information provided about the ability to bring food or drinks in with you. I guess they want to gouge you in every way possible! I will not be back for any events and any time. Pitiful!!!

The best outdoor music venue! The venue offers an intimate setting for artists to perform. It is an Atlanta icon. The amphitheater began construction in 1942 and completed in 1944. Architecturally appropriate renovations have been made over time. The continuous full bench seating in the orchestra sections are comfortable, backs nicely angled and “seats” adequately spaced. The large width of the rows make walking through easy. Pit seating for table or rock shows is comfortable folding chairs. There is a very small grass seating area. Sound is great in the entire Park. Coolers with outside food and drink and folding small tables are allowed for “table” shows. Real candles are no longer allowed. There seem to be fewer table seating shows most likely due to security and safety concerns. 😕 Traffic and parking can be challenging as the venue is in a beautiful neighborhood. All music must end at 11:00 pm. Can only imagine how great it would be to live there and have season tickets! Some hotels offer shuttle service, and Uber and Lyft have greatly reduced the number of cars parking. The concession food is quite good, the drinks pretty expensive. Those that over indulge often have problems negotiating the granite steps after a show. There is little seating with any cover. People usually bring rain ponchos. We drive 3 hours to attend concerts here as often as possible.

There is NO information you can find online about specific artist rules. I googled for hours to find out if we could bring in coolers, no information. I found one selling site which showed GooGoo Dolls were a no-cooler event but it said nothing about Josh Groban. We took an Uber there and, guess wha, signs that it was a ‘no cooler’ concert. We had to throw away our cooler and all contents. Never spending my money here again.

This park is terrible! Steps everywhere. Horrible lightening at night. The Lawn area is really small and crappy, no grass on lawn, red dirt every where. One way into the venue and one way out. Parking is not that great at all. You cannot bring lawn chairs (lol, not sure who made this dumb decision. Its a park).
I wish Fulton County would open Wolfcreek again. Loved, loved, loved that place. Chastian Park will NEVER get another dime of my money. I don't care who the artist is!!!

We were not advised it was a NO COOLER show. We even checked the Chastain crummy website in advance and found nothing. We had to ditch the food and drink. Then concessions were $35 for a bad bottle of wine, then got 2 charges of $60 each on my card. Scam.

This is a wonderful venue for a concert. My daughter and I sad Phoebe Bridgers in concert. The sound was great. It was a cool night and just a great evening. The chicken tenders are delicious. Bathrooms were clean too.

Most of the seats in Section 3L have an obstructed view of the stage due to the elevated handicapped section. Those seats should be marked as "obstructed view".

I forgot how much I enjoyed going to the amphitheater. The outdoor setting, the cool breeze blowing and the music made for a great evening. Bring your coolers with drinks and snacks and enjoy..

How much is parking? Is there a designated smoking area?

Trying to decide what tickets to purchase for show that are described as No tables, and no rows are shown in the Pit. Does that mean standing only?

So I’m a little confused! I bought a table for an upcoming event, do they provide the tables and chairs or do we bring the tables, as I am seeing reviews saying they are bringing TV trays?

Yes as far as know this is the case. Each band has slightly different policies. Some allow you to bring alcohol and food into the site, (ZZ Top) some not (Whitesnake) thou there are food stores within the site. It is a very user friendly site.

A purse of average size is ok but they will search it. I carry a clutch and I have to open it for security. Coolers and bags will be searched.
