I saw The Shins here and was really pleased with several aspects of the venue!
Things I always worry about when I go to music venues:
-The pain of standing the whole time.

-Ease of experience/convenience.
HMV forum pretty much knocked it out of the park in all of these respects! We got the unreserved seating tickets on the top level and easily got to sit...more

Nice venue. Been there several times and impressed that every time it's full. I liked it much because there's something interesting every night. Went to The Walkmen several days ago and wasn't disappointed with the choice. Good show and a lot of fun.
Location is good from my opinion. I live close but understand that for a lot of people is too far. But it's worth to come and enjoy a show here....more
