BOK Center

As a Tulsa Native, the BOK Center is the go to venue for entertainment in the city. We recently visited for an Oiler's Hockey game and everyone in our group had a blast. Our family attends pretty regularly. The venue seems to be pretty clean. The staff is a hit or miss, depending on what you're there for. Sometimes they're nice, friendly and helpful while other times they're not the greatest to even speak to. In my personal opinion on perspectives, there is not a seat in the house that's really "bad" when visiting for sporting events-- upper or lower levels. However, when attending concerts, the acoustics are not the greatest the higher up you go. Other than that, having a circular venue gives optimal viewing from all angles. If you get the chance to visit the BOK Center, I would reccomend checking it out. Lots of events to attend and decent food options.

Great venue!! I brought my 19yo for her first concert to see Billie Eilish and she had the best possible experience. Very easy to navigate. Good drink and food places inside also. Everything was clean. They also changed one of the men's restrooms to a women's because there were so many ladies!! That was awesome

First off Huge Thank you to the young ladies that sat behind us and took the first 3 pictures for me! The BOK Center was electric last night for the Brandon Lake concert. The sound quality was phenomenal—clear vocals, perfect balance, and energy that filled the entire arena. The lighting and stage production were next level, creating an atmosphere that pulled everyone in from the first note. Crowd management was smooth, parking was easy, and the staff kept everything running efficiently even with a packed house. Brandon Lake’s performance was powerful and genuine—the kind of night that sticks with you. Five stars for an incredible experience. The BOK Center knows how to host a show, and Brandon Lake absolutely delivered!

Clean facility with comfy seating! Couldn't share from inside the venue due to the artist's no phone rule, but was impressed with the number of options for food & drinks. The staff was friendly & it was an easy entrance/exit process. I was focused on the band, but I learned from social media that there were problems with pit security. I saw ample security from my seat, but I'm sure the band opted to use less staff at the front of the stage for visibility. Perhaps make that a non negotiable in the future because despite there being plenty of room for fans in the pit, they pushed and packed into the rail from what I saw from section 111. This is less a venue problem as it is a fan problem. If you don't get to the venue hours early to secure a front spot in the pit, deal with the spot you end up with. Don't push others. Actually, don't touch another fan. Period. At any venue.

Took.my daughter to see Billie Eilish and she had a blast. They sold merch outside before the concert started that was a good option. Traffic driving there was congested. They closed streets and we ended up driving to a more expensive parking area than planned. So plan ahead. It was easy to walk into the center little to no waiting in line. They had plenty of options of food and drinks. It was easy to find our seats. Great show and experience. Would definately go to the BOK center again.

PBR the best family friendly place to literally take your family out for a nice evening. The pictures are just of the riders name and it lists city and state of where the riders are from. This was my second year of attending the PBR and it was much better as I knew some of what was going on. Lol 😂 Plus I turned 65 today and felt very blessed to be living and loving.

Great place to watch the PBR! This place is also a great place to see concerts as well! We have been here lots of times. Family friendly as well

Went to see my first hockey game, Oilers vs Steelheads, and I expected the hard molded seats and steep stairs. Thankfully that wasn't the case. Plenty of restrooms close, comfortable seats, the stairs were easy to climb and the sound system was spectacular.

warning. if you are currently at stadium watching oilers hockey game, please stop reading and be vigilant for any errant hockey puck. food i used a $10 concession voucher with the ticket momma got from her bank to get a souvenir cup, which is a paper cup with circular sonic radiation rings, such as those from a speaker. the dr. p tasted good, and had a satisfactory ratio of syrup mix to water. service the service was excellent from the concession stand worker who helped me at the location near section 105, with the indecisiveness i displayed upon ordering and learning that tax put me beyond the $10 value of the voucher requiring the practice of patience, and even after that, she repeatedly declined an offer of a $1 tip. ambiance the ambiance has been lively, though contained, with several opportunities for fan participation, including a couple dance cam features on the jumbotron up to the 2nd intermission which is endicng as i type.

My last review for BOK Center was 16 years ago, so I'm way overdue for an update lol. My husband and I took a break from arena events a little before 2020 and did not go back until April 2025. It was mainly because of the costs associated with these events. The parking lot across the street that I raved about in my old review has been transformed into a hotel that also holds a parking garage. If you don't mind the cost of using that garage I still recommend parking over there. Getting to that garage can be a little tricky if the roads around it are blocked off, but you'll have covered parking in a secure garage, right across the street for a quicker exit after the show. Security can take awhile to get through. Make sure you have a clear bag within the size range that is allowed to help speed things up a bit. You walk through metal detectors and may be asked to remove belts, etc but for the most part people were allowed to keep their accessories on them during our visit. Ticket scans are done after the security screening so be sure to have your tickets out and ready. The club seats and suites have been updated to slightly more complicated options with different levels / sizes of suites on different levels of the arena. There is also another lounge option named after the River Spirit Casino that is open to anyone. We did a lap around the concourse on the way to our seats and noticed the food selections have changed a bit, including a food court type area and a grab and go store associated with Mother Road Market. On our last visit we did not eat anything but we did buy bottles of water. Overall still a solid venue with some nice improvements.

What a cool place! We had such a fun time coming here for a Mumford and Sons concert. Overall, I had a great experience. Concert was fun, seats were clean, bathroom was clean; great place! I will one hundred percent come back here for another concert some day. If you haven't been here for some event, I highly recommend that you come some time.

Tulsa Oilers... Tulsa's very own ECHL hockey team. Great venue and a family friendly atmosphere.

We Love the BOK in downtown Tulsa and have attended numerous events from concerts to sporting events! There's generous city parking near the arena to allow easy entry in/out! The BOK is so modern and beautiful with comfort seating, friendly staff, great sound quality, food and beverage stations, and large, clean restrooms! We recently attended a Pentatonix concert and had a wonderful time! If you've never been to the BOK, it's one of Tulsa's greatest assets! Gather your friends & family and enjoy a great time together!

This place is super clean! The staff was so nice even for us runners for the Turkey Trot 5k & Fun Run. I look forward to coming back for a show or sporting event.

Always a fun time here. Love coming for concerts Oilers games and other events. Not a fan of the drink prices and the food selection.

I absolutely loved his personal story. Can't say I was the biggest fan of his music but it was a nice experience to be able to go. I'm in the era of stepping out of my comfort zone and I'm glad I did. Accomodations were quick and effortless and finding seating was great. This is a nice venue with awesome photo opps

We've seen a few concerts here and always a good venue to see your favorite artists and groups. Most seats are good in this place...the sound is good anywhere we've sat in the BOK. A newer arena, so bathrooms and concessions are plentiful etc.

This is a great mid size arena and a fantastic room to see live music. The seating is comfortable (even in the nose bleeds) concessions are good and the prices are not ridiculous but not cheap either. The staff is always very helpful man's friendly. I have seen many concerts and Cirque du Soleil shows always great line of sight and sound. Parking at ONE Place deck is very convenient.

I've always enjoyed events at this venue, and I love when I can get good ticket prices, which I definitely did for this one. Lionel Richie and Earth, Wind, and Fire. I scored the $25 ticket special they offered. The food and drink options are ample and nice. And wait times aren't bad once you get into the building, and are usually really quick if you arrive early. There are definitely good seats and bad seats in a venue this large though. But I still enjoy myself. One BIG problem tonight was the family of cockroaches living in one of the women's bathroom stalls. Huge cockroaches that have definitely been there a long while.

Great experience here for a Dierks Bentley concert. Security was smooth and fast. Easy to navigate. Also the Boomerang lost and found resource was amazing for us getting my husbands wallet back that he left behind. It took about 2 days for them to "find" it and have it uploaded in the system to be a match for what we submitted. So grateful for that!

We have attended a couple different events here now. Parking - there isn't anything at the BOK center but there are 2 paid park lots across the street or free street parking several blocks away if you don't mind walking and there is also some metered street parking. Getting through security (don't carry in a big bag) is fairly quick and then the final stop is scanning your ticket and then you are able to move around the building and grab a drink or food before making your way to your seats. We have a great time at both events.

BOK Center? YES! Giving this center another try. The times I've been in attendance, the sound system sounds off. Don't know if that's been fixed or updated. Haven't tried the food here but the drinks are tasty depending on who's performing since their menu's are tailored to the theme of the concerts. Service is well, can't complain, but more bartenders is always better.

The sound had a lot of echo in it as we were there for a concert. Staff was very helpful and nice. Although drinks at a concert are typically expensive, I felt these were ultra expensive overall it was a good experience.

The BOK center is great! There is always cute photo booths and a good block party before a concert. The service is smooth and fast. Drinks are STRONG! Party with caution

Very impressed every time. The most impressive part is that it is always clean. That is so important and the employees seem genuinely happy. The company seems to provide an opportunity for anyone to feel comfortable to work in. As far as food goes I have not had much of anything to rate. I intentionally ate before hand so I didn't have to get concession stand food that is over priced. This last time for The Lumineers concert I noticed the prices are not the bad. P.S. I NEVER HAVE TO WAIT LONG FOR THE BATHROOM!!!!!!

This place is clean and beautiful! This is one of the best arenas i have been to, and i don't even live in this city! Getting in was simple, no lines. Each staff member i passed had a king smile and were happy to be there. The merch line wasn't long, not much wait for drinks. The bathrooms were plentiful and very clean. We came to see Paramore and the seats felt like we were so close to them. Love love love this place! I am willing to make the 5 hot road trip again if need be!

I have grown more disappointed in the facility with each visit. while I understand that prices will increase over time the rate of increase over the past two years is a little bit much. the new chicken vendor product leaves a lot to be desired, no flavor, self service, and self checkout not a good decision. and recently the draft beer after taking the price up they have gone to a smaller size for the same price. with every choice you do you are charging more for less at the very least keep the quality of the products if you are going to increase the price.

If you go do not sit in 300 section you'll literally be on the ceiling. We were able to upgrade our tickets after Toto and before journey so it ended up working out but wow is it terrifying at the top!

Here as first time visitor to the venue! Oh my blown away by the place. Very nice and easy to get in and out. Can't seem to think there is a horrible seat in the house. Parking was reasonable cost and proximity. So many food choices and drinks galore.. had plenty of close by bathrooms...and all in all it was fantastic experience. The Justin Timberlake concert was LEGIT! I was super pleased! If you ever need someone to fill in an open seat in a suite...don't hesitate to contact me! Respectfully, Bryan Moore Oklahoma

Pros: love coming to events here. Clean. Well organized. Staff friendly. Love the food vendors ; especially the Doc Popcorn. Cons: parked at the parking garage across the street and had to walk over in the cold and rain. Wish parking was attached.

Guess I forgot to review the first time I was here this year, but I've had a broken foot since Dec 2017. (Later on that) I was wowed the first time I walked in. Crowded, of course, but greatly diversified in food/ drinks. Friendly vendors. A clean, modern feel. Had seats right at front stage. The configuration of folding chairs on the floor was extremely inconvenient, however. They were too close. i.e the girl to my right was rude, arm waving in my face & took up most of my seat. But patrons can't be counted on. Then we went to U2 for the second time. Bought very expensive tickets the day they went on sale. It was awesome. But it didn't have to be except for the BOK staff. That broken foot? By now I was in a boot and elevated shoe. I'm just over 5' and it was more than difficult for me to drag around. In comes the staff. Everyone was extremely helpful. Go here, go there, talk to these people. We made way thro' the crowd & security to the box office to be directed to the floor staff. They took us aside, got a wheelchair and, communicating via radio w/ each other maneuvered us to platform where we had decent views. We could never have made it to our front row seats. And they were on dead end. Our wheel chair driver kept calling us "lovely ladies". And she was right there at the end to escort us out. Now I've read why these great performers are choosing to start their tours right here. Good job BOK.

New, modern looking arena for concerts and shows. You can find parking nearby for as low as $4 if you are willing to walk a couple of blocks. The center is located right down the road from the highway and is super accessible. You can buy food and drinks using cash and cards inside.

We visited the BOK this week for the Okc Thunder preseason game vs the Denver nuggets. Overall it was a good time, however, the one of the seats we bought a ticket for was broken. There was a heavy sand bag tied down to the chair and the cushion was stuck in an upright position. I just sat in the seat on the other side of my husband, which was fine until the rest of the row showed up and we had to move to a different row that was empty. This was frustrating since we had to move mid-game and sit further back than the seats we payed for, even though we brought this to the attention of the event staff. Kind of a bummer!

We had never been to the BOK Center before. We went there to see"for King and Country", their Christmas concert. I am handicapped, using a walker. First off, we ordered tickets through Ticket Master. When ordering, we told them we need wheelchair access. They assigned us section 408 row M which are really high nosebleed seats. BOK staff saw where we were assigned and said they could not have us climb way up there. They then worked at finding us accessible seats, and they found us much better seats than what we had. All of the BOK staff that we net were really great. I would definitely go back again for a concert. The only negative is that they do not have any parking whatever.

Easy to get reasonably prices tickets even last minute. Cirque de Soleil's Crystal was a nice show with great talent and a bit of comedic relief.

A concert last night was my first visit to the BOK center. They can pack a crowd in to see a big name act or sporting event. There are lots of concessions, the staff is helpful, and there is plenty of open space for the crowd to move about after the event.

Great time at the Oilers game. They need more fan support. It's a fun place to take the kids. Don't expect NHL caliber, but you're not paying NHL prices either

My husband and I went to see WWELive yesterday and the show did not disappoint! It was the RAW show, so we got to see a lot of the main talent like Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, Elias Samson, John Cena, and The Miz. Our seats were on the floor very close to the ring. We had a birds eye view of the stars. The good part was was that we had great views. The bad part was that so many parents kept allowing their children to stand on the chairs, blocking others view. This is highly inconsiderate and the ushers kept having to tell them to put them down. One big surprise was the pop Roman Reigns got. He had the same response as John Cena. There were five male superstars who appeared to be universally loved; Roman, John Cena, Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, and Matt Hardy. Of the women, the biggest responses were Bayley, Sasha Banks, Alexa Bliss, and Asuka. It was an incredible show and I loved seeing Elias doing his "Who wants to walk with Elias?" bit. It was a great time, but I noticed there were fewer strobe lights than usual. I was glad for that due to my seizures. All in all, I love seeing WWELive shows. They are worth the money and I will return year after year.

This is a great venue that brings a lot of interesting acts to Tulsa. The floor seats do not have a dedicated bathroom on the floor like other major concert venues. Also they don't have a regular bar area on the floor besides the temporary bars. They need those two things to make the BOK better a better venue . That is my only reasons for four stars and not five.

I've been in Tulsa for sometime now & it's sad that it took for me to first visit this place because of a country concert. it was cool, I enjoyed it. Kenny Chesney put on a show! So did Jake Owen. S|O to Yelp for the ticket giveaway ! They had so many concession stands on each level. All kinds of food & drinks to choose from. I got a frozen margarita, the swirl with strawberry & it was pretty good. It was $11, I wasn't surprised at the price so no complaints here. That's how it usually goes for places as such. The lighting, sounds, surrounds, etc were incredible. Can't wait to go to more concerts here!

I've been going to awesome concerts since it opened. I even took a tour during the construction phase and was amazed at the size before completion! The latest concert was The Weeknd and Gucci Mane - which was amazing!!! We were lucky and Ticketmaster released floor seats for $50 - oh yeah, $50, as in Section F1, Row H. The seats were part of the VIP packages but I guess they didn't sell them all so several groups of seats were released Saturday afternoon for the same price as the 300 level. So these seats were super awesome - really close. I've sat in the 300 section - sort of high but still decent views. If it's for a concert, splurge nad get the 100 section seats. If it's for TranSiberian or something other than a concert, the 300 section is fine. Security has improved - there are now metal detectors which is great since there have been too many accidents and attacks.

Rascal Flatts was awesome! Always enjoy stopping by the " In The Raw" concession and eating before the concerts. Great service on the suite level as usual!

My husband's Ticketmaster app had a glitch and it wouldn't allow the QR code to show (it worked when we got into the arena and also when we got on the floor, but stopped after those two times). When my husband tried to get back to our floor seats after he left to get food, the attendant on the floor wouldn't allow him to enter without that QR code (even after he showed her the order number/seats..not to mention she let us in the first time!). We paid too much money for him to be watching from the outside area! I called the BOK phone number and the lady on the other line sent a supervisor to him right away who then walked my husband back to his seat. When nobody would help my husband get back to his seat (floor attendant, ticket employees at the front gate).. she did! I wish I got her name.

I am not really a huge arena fan, but I can appreciate the BOK Center. They have brought a lot of big names to Tulsa, which we needed. Also, I am sure I cannot even grasp the amount of jobs this place has provided for the community. The facility is always clean and well kept. When there is an event there are always several varieties of food and drinks to choose from, definitely something for everyone. The bathrooms stay clean and fresh. One issue is parking, but if you do not mind walking, you can generally find free or inexpensive choices.

We came here for the Tulsa Classic to watch the Dallas Stars play. I was surprised at how nice the BOK is. They have a good selection of food and the seats are comfortable. I would come here again for an event in Tulsa.

Still an up & down concern venue. 8/24/16 - Coldplay - made me a believer! For concerts, it is imperative that you avoid the upper deck; especially the sides. Also - BTW - venue rule makes you check umbrellas -- any that don't fit in your date's purse -- at the front. Amazingly I actually remembered mine on the way out. Great venue; great concessions; great building. Just don't go too cheap on the concert seats!

Let's just get into it I've came here multiple times for concerts. It's a smaller venue than Chesapeake but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Depending on how the artist use the set, it can be a very life changing experience. Bruno Mars had his concert here in 2018 and it was the best concert I've experience. I've been to another concert last night and it was a fun experience but the artist didn't have too much of an extravagant set. This venue is as good as the artist to be honest. The venue is pretty easy to find and parking isn't so much of a hassle bc there aren't tons of food / entertainment places around. That's actually a pro for me. Yes I may still have to pay for parking, but it's easier to navigate and deal with over all. The food vendors at the event was awesome. It took me a minute to find the hot dogs and angry orchid on tap but I was successful. The alcoholic drinks, however, aren't worth it. All they are good for is giving you a slight headache from the mixers and no good vibes during the guzzle at the arena ‍ I suggest pre-game safely and save some money. Of course, ticket prices really depend on the artist you are trying to see. Food & drinks will always be elevated due to it being an event. It's worth the little road trip and if you stay you can explore all the other great things Tulsa has to offer (I suggest bowling & the aquarium )

just went to OU/ Arkansas basketball game and enjoyed game but had terrible concessions except for beer which was cold . $13 hamburger was cold and hardly any ice in the soft drink cups . I expect the high prices but not the poor quality

Lines were way too long for food and drinks. Ridiculous considering the ticket prices we paid

SO as not to confuse the entertainment aspect of the BoK with the arena itself, let me be clear.... this review is for the facility itself, and not in any way about the acts that have performed there. So, that said, let's rock and roll..... EVERY time I've been to an event at the BoK, there's been a huge crowd to get in the door. I get that there's heightened security and all that. I get it. Don't like it, but I get it. What I DON'T get is why the management of the BoK arena doesn't take that into account and manage things better. It's almost as if they really couldn't give a rip about the ticket holders once they have their money. Case in point... we took The Kid to the Nov 15 Trans Siberian Orchestra show, which, by the way was fantastic, but that's another review. We arrived 45 minutes before showtime, only to be met with a veritable MOB of people waiting outside the closed doors. This persisted until well past the posted show time. People were getting VERY irate outside. It was only when someone happened to check their Twitter feed that people started learning there was a delay in the setup for the show. I get it.. stuff happens. It happens every day. It's how you DEAL with it that makes or breaks you. BoK management blew it, and they blew it big time. NO communication with people standing outside. And when we finally did get close to the doors, the ushers/cattle herders just yelled to move to one line or another as the crowd ebbed and flowed. And if this were an isolated incident, I could understand. But to date, out of the multiple events I've attended at the BoK arena, I have yet to experience anything different from this. In fact, one time The Kid's choir class was singing the national anthem at a pre-season Thunder game, and we rolled out to support them. Because of the massive cluster caused by BoK's inept and inefficient management, we didn't get seated UNTIL AFTER HALF TIME. Yes... that's right. half the game missed, not to mention the main reason we came. And it wasn't just us. People with courtside seats were right along with us. Honestly, this last go round left me with such a distaste for BoK's management practices that I seriously can't say I'll go back. I suspect any inbred rhesus monkey could manage the facility better than the idiots that are currently running the show. As for the facility itself... it's great. Nice seating, plenty of room, although the seats could use a tad more leg room, but that's a universal problem. Climate control is usually pretty good, acoustics are as good as an arena can be, and the place is meticulously clean. I just wish it were managed by someone who had a modicum of respect for the customers.

This place has easy parking just a stroll away from the main entrance and the venue is well thought out and gorgeous. I love how food row is set all in one area so I don't have to search for food or someplace to eat it. The only thing I'm not a fan of is the sound system. I realize each band or group has their own sound guy so the sound will vary - but it would be nice if they had someone local in charge of the final sound set up. The last two concerts I've been to it was so loud I left with a migraine.

BOK Center, thank you for you. Apart from bringing in some of the best national acts around like Dave Matthews Band, Kings of Leon, the PBR, etc. you always impress me from a design standpoint and excellent food. They just get it. The will-call line always runs fast, the security upon entrance is quick and logistics of finding your way around is ace. It's as cool looking on the inside as it is from the out and cleanliness is on-point. This is one of the few arenas I will ever choose to eat during a show in. From sushi to french fries to really big beers - they've got it all. And actually, it's quite reasonable too! Parking is around... But certainly not enough for everyone. Do yourself a favor and just get an UBER ride. They can pick you up/ drop you off right out front! And, you'll save $10-$20 in parking anyhow. BOK, you keep it fresh and diverse with scheduling events and you keep Tulsa on the map. OH! Did I mention they contunually rank as one of the TOP ranking venues in the country?! http://www.bokcenter.com/news/detail/bok-center-continues-to-rank-as-one-of-the-countrys-top-venues

I have gone her twice this year once for Impractical Jokers and once for WWE and both times was a 5 star experience. The security is great and well staffed the ticket checkers are very helpful and as you walk in they will guide you to your seats. The looks of this venue is beautiful the outside, inside, and seating. Concessions has a huge variety and the prices are reasonable for a venue parking is no problem due to their parking garage bathrooms are clean as the whole place is. All in all this is a great venue and clean with a family friendly staff that will make sure you get the best experience. I recommend using SeatGeek and Stub hub and Ticketmaster for events at this Particular venue because of you wait till last minute the cost will go down for example I got floor seating to Smackdown Live for $39 that's unheard of.

BOK Center is one of the top rated music arenas for the nation and being in Tulsa it brings the top high production concerts and here at a reasonable price. Even though it can seat nearly 20,000 people one can still get a reasonably priced seat and if looking to budget the first 2-3 rows in the 300 level sections are not bad views. There are plenty of parking lots available that can be as low as $5 with just a mere block or two walking distance from the two main entrances. Cocktails are $7 and the lines can get pretty long so plan ahead. There is a decent variety of food options as well.

I got to visit this beautiful structure over the Thanksgiving holiday when someone gifted me tickets to the Tulsa Oilers hockey game. This is probably one of the most amazingly beautiful buildings I have ever seen. It is clean and modern, and the staff is friendly and helpful. It is a good size, but not overwhelming. Typical sports snacks, nachos, cotton candy, beer and hotdogs. Great sound. Fun jumbotron. Great location right downtown walking distance from the hotels and convention center. 2 Thumbs up Tulsa. Well done.

Yay, Tulsa! Way to get something right! This place is so effing awesome it's ridiculous. The architecture is so beautiful that it's totally unlike any other venue in the nation. It's so pretty! You have to go see it if you haven't already. I've had an amazing time both times I've gone, and I can't wait to see kick ass stuff in the future. Hopefully in a suite. Don't be jealous, but I saw Darius Rucker there. And he was incredible. Dream show: Beck with N.E.R.D. Make this happen, thanks.

One of the top arenas in the country hands down! I've been too a lot of arenas and this one is top of the line no doubt!
