Toyota Center

I visited the Toyota Center during the NBA Cup in the fall, where the Houston Rockets secured an exciting victory over the visiting Los Angeles Clippers. The game was intense and engaging, complemented by an electric atmosphere that highlighted the passion of both the fans and the city. The arena featured a unique court setup designed specifically for the NBA Cup, adding to the special nature of the event. With its modern facilities, excellent seating, and vibrant energy, the Toyota Center offers an outstanding experience for NBA enthusiasts and anyone who appreciates high-level basketball.

I had the opportunity to attend a WWE Monday Night Raw event here. Parking was $30 in the adjacent garage. Getting to our seats was very easy. Staff were friendly and helpful. My seat did feel worn out, but the vantage point was excellent. We had fun!

This place has very good views of the court area from almost anywhere. I was at the PBR event. I really like that there is a buffer of a bar/restaurant between the seating and concourse. This give a better experience makes the seats even better. Only down side is the prices just like any pro sports venue.

The gorgeous home of the Rockets. The arena is massive in size and the game experience is outstanding. The local is clean and the staff is friendly. The only drawback is the price of food and drinks (a beer can costs $15) - literally insane! Note that any kind of bags are prohibited and they charge $10 per bag at the locker.

This arena is absolutely fantastic! Even if you snag the cheaper seats, the visibility is still top-notch—you won’t feel like you’re missing out no matter where you sit. The design really ensures a great view for everyone. Another pleasant surprise is the food and drink situation. While it’s not exactly a bargain, the prices are reasonable for a stadium. You won’t feel like you’re emptying your wallet for a snack, which is a refreshing change from the usual. Whether you’re there for a concert, a game, or any event, this arena delivers an amazing experience without breaking the bank. Definitely a win all around!

Went to see Jelly Roll concert following hip replacement surgery. Handicap tickets and parking. Toyota Center staff got me to and from my seat. Went across Skybridge and they were waiting for me with a wheelchair ♿️. Escorted us to our seats through service elevator. No issues whatsoever. Shout out to the staff. Had a great time.

Though I know the Toyota Center most for being a sports venue, last night, I had the opportunity to attend the Toyota Center and experience it as a Concert Venue. As the Hot Boys have reunited, the Houston stop was the one I chose to attend. The Toyota Center is hugeeeeee and takes up the entire center of the Downtown area (in my opinion. lol). The center is easy to find and has ample parking around it. As I was with Turk, I was able to experience the Toyota Center from the front and back end. Arriving at the Toyota Center for soundcheck was very efficient. We pulled up to the gate, provided our credentials and were escorted to the parking area. Once parked, the security area is right near the dock. Everyone had to go through security and I do mean everyone... I was so happy to see this. Once through security, we were escorted to the dressing room. The room was spacious, the bathroom was huge and everything was clean. The furniture was simple but perfect for the space. The main hallway area was vibrant and super bright which was perfect as there was sooooooo much going on. Furthermore, the wide hallway was ideal for the way the artist and entourage were walking back and forth. Executing the sound check was easy and I was able to see the venue with no one in it. I loved the space and the way the seating was structured and the standing only areas were added. After sound check, we departed to get ready for the night. Arriving back to the Toyota Center for showtime, the access process was the same. Efficient, safe, and systematic. As it was now show time, the venue was loaded and the sound was jumping. The sound system was super clear and consistent throughout the entire arena. The backstage area was set up to ensure the flow of traffic was smooth and things could get done. The staff of the Toyota Center was very pleasant and helpful. Though tensions were high and the show was sold out, the staff maintained their composure and ensured all ran smoothly. I am in love with the Toyota Center and so glad I was able to experience it from the concert aspect. L

Went to PBR. Easy to get around. Friendly staff, really clean venue even bathrooms. Would definitely go back

Who designed this place? Acoustics are ok, but it's like they took a regular events center and squashed it into the narrowest cylinder of a center you ever saw. You need a Sherpa and mountain climbing equipment to get to and from your seats. You you over over 30, forget it; you're too old to navigate the sheer wall that is the Toyota Center. You will need to sell a kidney to afford any food or drinks, but that's how it is. The people working there are all very helpful and nice.

Went to see Twenty One Pilots at the Toyota Center for the Clancy tour and it was a good time! Now the line was longggggg and it was pretty confusing figuring out which of the multiple lines to stand it. Once inside, it was pretty simple to get to our seats, and the staff were very helpful. The actual performance had good visuals and acoustics. Now if someone in front of you stands up, you won't be able to see anything at all. Leaving was also all right, though some routes were blocked due to crowds. Overall, good concert spot! And Twenty One Pilots rocked!

It was our first time there watching a Houston Rockets game. Although the venue was busy, the entry process had a good flow. There were plenty of food options throughout the arena, though the prices were on the higher side. I loved that they had a variety of options that ranged from pizza and nachos to pulled pork mac & cheese and a chimichurri steak sandwich. And the game was one of those that kept you on the edge of your seat until the very end. Great way to spend an evening.

My friends and I attended the Usher concert, and we had a wonderful time. Our seats were excellent, the venue was spacious and comfortable, and the ample security made us feel safe and secure. The staff were friendly and helpful. We would gladly return for future events.

We saw Usher Thanksgiving weekend. The arena/center itself was fine, but the service of this one older African American lady at the entrance was disgusting. I wish I had her name. Basically, it was freezing, I had no idea Houston, TX got cold. We are talking 30s with no jacket. They had the doors locked after security check and she had us along with others standing in the cold waiting to have the ticket scanned. My friend was parking the car, he of course had the tickets and didn't send them to me, and she basically said I had to wait for him....outside! I was pissed. There was an Asian ticket woman that was much nicer, but the employee really ruined the experience. Usher did a great job though.

Had pit tickets to the Megan the stallion show in June. The sign I had was "oversized" so they wouldn't let me take it in. Anyways we started going in early at 5:30pm and still wasn't let on the floor till 6:30pm. Stadium could've been cooler temperature wise, everyone I talked to was uncomfortable with the temp. Other than that it was a good time, lots of merch stations and clean bathrooms when I used them.

H-Town proud...Believe It Again!!! It is the Toyota Center, what else can you say. Well here are a few tips and tricks to help. 1. Always be on the look out for Fan Appreciation Days or when they are running specials because if you are one of the lucky ones arriving at a game early you might be treated with some swag at the doors. 2. Do not be one of the patrons arguing about the bag policy, you WILL NOT be allowed to enter (do not be frustrated at the employees they are doing their job ensuring YOUR safety AND the policy is posted online as well as when you purchase your tickets). 3. If you are early and purchase jackpot tickets, you will get an extra 100 entries also. 4. Beat the crowd and head upstairs to buy your food and drinks, go to the windows closest to Toyota Center parking garage and you will be treated with a little ledge to sit your food, drinks and people watch.

Absolute great game, Rockets fire tonight, but with all the seat hopping freely and no one checking seat assignments, this experience is a total mess!! AXS needs to do better. Their response to my complaint shows how little they care about getting right...zero!!

Clean and spacious! Friendly staff! My recent concert Laura Daigle Kaleidoscope Tour Houston was amazing!! The staff were friendly and made sure everyone is safe. When buying drinks - no lids due to a recent incident. So buy bottles instead.

Haven't been here in a while but don't remember a bad experience. Easy entry easy exit right to my car. Seating is comfortable and spacious just enough for ease of walkthroughs and just sitting. Very clean arena.

No bad seating anywhere even if you get the lesser priced tickets which is a bonus in my book. Parking is rough. Uber is rough but you have to walk out a little further to catch one right after you get out unless you leave early.

This is really one of the better stadiums I've been to. The way the bowl sits low here means it has several advantages. It's lightning fast to get through security and ticketing and if you plan it right you're right by your section. Concessions are good, drinks are strong and they have clean bathrooms. That and the fun Houston murals, photo opps around the stadium make for a great experience. They've also got a good selection of unique merch.

Toyota Center as a venue is great I've seen multiple concerts here. The food is mid, the parking is high when it's an event unless you can snag street parking with a meter. But the acoustics and the drinks always make it a good time. This was the Maxwell Serenade Tour.

Went to see the Rockets played against the Kings and had a great time. It was a weeknight which means the place wasn't packed so checking in and leaving out was a breeze. We parked about a block away from the stadium and walked. It was perfect because we avoided the traffic plus parking was cheaper. The concession stands are typically junk food/snacks/soda/alcohol like any other stadium but the line moved quick. Because it's a weeknight and Texas kids school is still in session, I saw lots of kids in school colored t shirts on field trips. The memorabilia stand pretty cool even though I'm not a fan of the Rockets but a fan of NBA and it's nostalgic to see legends.

Decent stadium. We went to see a basketball game and there was adequate space outside for us to line up in advance of the doors opening. It did feel crowded inside with a few thousand people but once we got to our seats it felt like people were well spread out. Seats were large enough to fit a 6'2" person and comfy enough for a 5'2" person. There are cup holders on the back of each seat. The view was great from row 18 but there are several levels of seating and I imagine the view from the top is more of a bird's eye view. The sound was a great level (not too loud but fairly crisp).

We enjoyed a great evening watching the Rockets beat the Nets! We parked easily across the street in a garage and had multiple guide us in the right direction. We easily entered the Toyota Center and found our seats right away. The food choices were great and view was fantastic!

Be careful of workers putting in their own tips. I had a great experience with one register where the worker was very transparent and even said I don't need to put in a tip. Then I had another where the lady pressed her tip amount and then flipped the screen around. I didn't recognize the difference until I had said accept. I was very blunt with her and said that was not okay and she can't be doing that. It was a small amount but still amounts to a level of theft and dishonesty. I went to guest services to report the issue but didn't want to wait around for a supervisor. I wasn't there to cause a ruckus I was trying to watch a game. Toyota just needs to be aware of the issue.

I had not been to a Rockets game in years. Came here on NYE 12/31/2022. Uber'd there so didn't have to figure out parking. Easy check in process with e ticket. The bar and food places within the venue remain sky high, pack your money bag if you plan to eat here. $14 + for 1 draft beer? Come on now? And now they have this new policy where you aren't allowed to keep the cap of ANY drinks. I mean twist off alcohol cap I understand due to not wanting alcohol outside the venu, but water bottles and soda with no cap on it? Explain the logic. Despite that, good time, tons of options on food & drink, lots of staff and workers to assist or help. Rockets lost that night, too bad, but good game.

Nice facility, parking is pretty good and staff manages exit traffic better than most places. Comfortable for our concert, staff was good about getting us to our seats, be was a bit brash trying to clear the crowd afterwards, shooting them away from the restrooms while they waited for their party to come out. ONE BIG FAIL, AXS......forcing me to download their app sign up, give up my personal data.......then, same for my attending guest, just to store a ticket for one-time visitors in town........Very dirt bag process, in an otherwise perfect concert night.

Parking easy and close by. Door people and security always friendly. The higher your seats the less chance of room and a cup holder. Food needs work. Many venues closed during shows and having a Tito's bar with no limes is silly. $30 for a vodka tonic with no lime? Even the beer guy had limes.

I had a great experience at the Toyota Center last week for a Rockets game! My friends and I came in the middle of the week and it wasn't too too busy. Most of the arena was full, but we didn't have to wait for too long in line to buy drinks or to get up the escalator to our seats. It's a pretty clean venue and lots of entrances to the building. The levels and sections are well marked and we were able to find our section and seats very quickly. It was our first time there and we didn't want to worry too much about parking so we ended up parking down the street in a lot that was $5. It was about a 10 minute walk down the street to the stadium, which we were fine with because it made getting out of the city a little quicker. Overall, I had a great time here and will definitely be coming again for another Rockets game or a concert.

I went to the Toyota Center last night for the Lizzo concert and had a blast! My friend and I started out in nosebleeds seats. Made it there just in time to see Latto. At one point during Latto's performance the lady behind me spilled her beer on me and somehow on the 3-4 seats next to me as well. This left me smelling of a fresh beer fragrance for the rest of the night and a bit drenched on my left side. She was apologetic about it and I was enjoying myself so much that it would've taken a declaration of war or loss of life or limb for me to get upset about anything so whatever I kept vibing to Latto. Eventually the ladies who's seats she spilled beer all over came back to their drenched seats. Of course they weren't too happy about it. They complained to the ticket office and upon verifying the beer spillage, the kind folks in the box office gave us all new seats. Ughh we had to go to the box office to claim them which took FOREVER and caused me to miss Latto performing Big Energy! HOWEVER it was well worth the wait. They upgraded us from our nosebleed seats to really great box/suite ones! We all became bff's from experiencing the beer spill trauma and enjoyed our great new views of the concert! The Toyota Center staff (box office and ushers) are very empathetic, understanding and accommodating. A team of 5 star professionals who all deserve Christmas bonuses the size of this great state of Tx for turning my stinky beer spill night into a memorable one I'll never forget. The "Bad" of the Toyota Center? The parking. It took a while to get out of the garage and it seemed like the flow of traffic could've been directed much more efficiently. On a positive note, at least you don't have to wander around looking for parking if you park in the Tundra lot.

The games have been live this season at the Toyota Center. The Branson liquor displays throughout the arena are a nice touch. H's up!

I have only been here once for a concert, so this review is based on a concert perspective. There are many entrance to get inside, a few from the back of the venue and in front. Ironically, during our time, the lines were significantly shorter in the front of the venue than the back. Staffs were pretty efficient to get the lines going while not compromising security. We were inside the arena within less than 10 minutes. Signs and Directions to your section/seat are everywhere so you will not get lost. We were by the nosebleeds and just a heads up, it might catch you off guard as it can be a little steep. Acoustics for this arena are not bad considering where we are seated. I could hear the artists pretty well and at the same time I left the arena with still perfect hearing. LOL As for food, there are many options to choose from and like any other, they are over priced. However there are a LOT of well known delicious food places outside the arena that are within walking distance so I suggest grabbing a bite before (or after, since a lot food places close late) if you don't want to spend money on food. The only thing was, escalators were broken/not turned on after the concert so we all had to use the stairs. Needless to stay I reached my step goal almost 50% more than my goal that day.

Nice arena for one of this size. The things i liked most were the efficiency in design for crowds in and out (many entries and exits) compared to a lot of places I've been where you get bottle necked, getting in and out were relatively smooth. The vendors were well placed and spread out, staff overall were friendly and in good cheer The acoustics were pretty great for a closed arena as well.

Great downtown location. Parking is plentiful but steeply priced. Very modern arena with great site lines throughout.

Not a good venue for music concerts if you are sitting in the stadium seats. Acoustics suck. Seats give no leg room.

I really think the Toyota Center is one of the best NBA stadiums in the country. It's really the best bowl for viewing throughout the stadium with how low it sits. Fairly efficient in getting through security and ticketing. Decent food options.

This was such a great game!!! We had great seats in club level 120. My son really enjoyed himself. We made the cam and cheered all night. The Rockets played really well against the Sacramento Kings and had a great win.

This applies to the $75.00 Lexus Club add on for concert tickets. The courtesy and professionalism of the staff cannot be faulted. Our email said drinks were included. It did not specify non-alcoholic drinks. So no beer, wine or cocktails to wash down the lukewarm beef hot dogs presented on cold buns. The chilli on offer was pleasantly spiced, though again lukewarm. Chips with a thin queso were good, nothing to write home about. The fresh fruit on offer looked appealing. I can't eat melon, so had to pass on that, but it looked really tasty. You cannot watch the concert from the club. All in all, I would give this option a hard pass and save my $$ for a nice dinner beforehand. Note: We bought two single espresso martinis for ONLY $59.95. Can you say 'ripoff' boys and girls?

I've been here numerous of times over the years for the Rockets game. My favorite one had to be the Heat vs Rockets (2-28-2019), it was D-wade last year & I definitely had to buy some tickets to support my 2nd favorite NBA player & plus it was a couple of days before my 30th birthday. The Rockets received the win under Harden 58 points performance, what a game. I had purchased some tickets to watch the T-wolves vs Rockets game (1-9-2022), I wanted to see KAT & Anthony Edwards from the T-wolves & I was looking forward to seeing Garrison Mathews as well. Lets just say I paid 96 bucks (2 people) to see the Rockets get whooped lol, I had fun though. Okay, so let's move on to the Parking, Staff & Food/Drinks. Parking can get hectic especially if you want to park closer to Toyota center. My advice is to park 2-4 blocks away to avoid the craziness. My friend and I paid $5 to park at a garage & it was only a 6 minute walk to the arena; not bad at all. Staff are mostly rude or just standoffish. The person who made our margarita was not having a good day & was upset he had to be there. The frozen margarita was expensive which is understandable but it was weak in terms of alcohol, basically there was nothing in there. We paid $17 bucks for a cup of frozen slushy. Far as food selection it was a decent amount to pick from. I did receive excellent service from the staff members in the Rockets team shop store. Overall, nice arena but meh staff. Will I come back? Yeah, because I go to watch the Rockets.

The home to the most historic NBA franchise in the history of the league! I recommend to bring ear plugs, they don't call the Rocket super fans the Red Rowdies for no reason.

The only reason for the four star is the food & alcoholic beverage the food was not good AT ALL. We had chicken tenders and fries the tenders was hard and dry. My strawberry daiquiri tasted like fruit juice didn't taste no alcohol whatsoever. And the price was not cheap, when leaving the concert I saw other patrons who hadn't finished eating nachos and popcorn they were barely touched I'm guessing they felt the same as I did in regards to the food. The bathroom was nice and clean getting into and out of the stadium was easy they did an awesome job with directing traffic. My husband and I had a great time at the New Edition Concert. I think we will just go out to eat before going to the concert. Entertainment was on point all of the artist was great they did their thing. I even took a pic with one of the members of Guy ( Damion Hall ). We really had a good time.

My husband comes here for Rockets games all the time but I came here for the first time for a concert in Dec 2021. A pro was that the staff were all wonderful. Some of them really went out of their way to be helpful to us. The building itself was ok... I thought it looked a bit dated. I googled and saw it was opened in 2003 so it is nearly 20 years old. It wasn't in disarray, but it just felt "older". We had floor seats so we essentially had folding chairs. These chairs have seen better days. They were rusty and old AF. They literally reminded me of what your grandmother would pull out at Christmas... the ones they had bought in 1954 from a Sears catalog. (See included photo). I would have expected better seats for paying nearly $200/ticket. Oh and the seat numbers, they were written in chalk on the bottom of the seat. So weird. We walked around the concourse a bit and I was astonished by the price of some of the concessions. I think I saw $11 for a hotdog?!?! I couldn't imagine trying to feed a family there. So all in all, we had a great time. I just think that this place could use some updates, especially the floor seat chairs.

So we attended the "Night Tour" here on a Friday night and it was pretty much a normal experience, however I did notice a few things. First, security was very smooth with fast moving lines metal detectors and bag searches. Nothing aesthetically stood out to me about the arena itself and really seemed outdated. However the concessions were pretty fast with service. The restrooms were outdated and smaller than expected. Urinals had no dividers (no privacy) unless you use the stall.... "Hope you're comfortable with your manhood." Overall the environment felt safe and the concerts production was spot on. Made a casual date night out of it.

Maxwell Tour Concert The was phenomenal and every bit worth to cost. Why? I missed an opportunity to see one the greats perform at least once, before passing and vowed to not do it again. So, if I am near a performance, more than likely I will be present. Maxwell, stood up to his music and the love it brings Anthony, there is nothing like a man that can admit to being hurt. I love this! Jo was in there singing baby making music. This was nothing but a win, food & beverages are always a plus and I felt the lines moved pretty well. I did experience where on a second trip to a different service area, where one the cashiers seemed to be more preoccupied with the guest who had walked away, rather than the one who was standing in line waiting (Me), of course there many others behind me. A few seconds is understandable and this was definitely within the 30 second window after the guest had departed the register. The wait of standing there was both rude, awkward and inconsiderate and very well noticeable. However the show made up even for that. Although, I have to bring attention to the fact that, even if the show was going to have a late start, why were the guest/patrons not allowed in the facility, until over an hour later? Overall it was a blast! So, until next time, Bye-Bye!

Thanks a lot, Toyota Center. Cannot quite enjoy the Melanie Martinez Trilogy Tour because the tickets were expensive to get good seats. The least you could have done was display the stage on the big jumbo screen for everyone sitting in the 430 seats to see the #u##ing stage.

I've been to the Toyota Center many of times & I feel like it's an overall great experience for an NBA Basketball game. Went to go see my Golden State Warriors today & it was a hell of an Experience ! Sat in section 104 row 6 & it was just a great up close view! We ended up getting the Dub & all I can say is WWAAAAARRIORRRRRSSSSSSSSS!

This is based solely on music concerts. Haven't attended a sporting event here so dunno. Now I went to poppy, Jane's addiction, and smashing pumpkins here. I did see ghost and iron maiden there before and had the same result; This place sucks for concerts. The acoustics aren't great. Cannot really understand the music. The inflated parking rates suck too. But this is mostly the acoustics are abhorrent. After maiden, and pumpkins I made a decision. I'll not spend money to see a concert here again. Too much money to not be able to understand what's going on. The two stars are for how friendly and helpful the folks who were there are. Y'all do hire good people. Just .. stop having concerts here.

Went here for the Springsteen concert. Sound system and acoustics were great. Stage set up had a standing only general admission, seats on the floor and regular seats and suites. We were in the 3rd level suite, great view of the stage, 4 rows x4 seats. There were only 12 of us in the suite. No bathroom in the suite like other places, but close by. The event was catered, food was good, shrimp jicama salad, chicken and vegan, strip steaks/sirloin steaks, nice cheese platter (burrata cheese!), focaccia was stale. Very nice staff, excellent service. No dessert cart, no cordial cart like other suites, minus a star.

Easy to get to, easy to park, easy to walk from parking ramp. Organized, secure and plenty of police presence. Once you get through security there are plenty of personnel to direct you towards your seating... once you get to your section, then you enter as if it were a whole other world. A full bar, (thanks James for the Bahama mama!) . Plenty of really good food- (not tasteless like some convention centers.) The cost is a tad expensive but not out of the norm... remember, you can always eat BEFORE you get here. The seating, well, if you're a bigger person, it's gonna be tight, but not uncomfortable tight. Kinda like being on an airplane. The bathrooms are aplenty and very clean. So far, I'm pleased.

How have I not written a review on the Toyota Center. Been here multiple times over the 8 years of living in Houston. Every event I've enjoyed. Toyota Center is always clean comfortable and welcoming. Last night I went to the Rockets vs Bucks game. Upon entering there were multiple lines and they all moved fast. Bags aren't allowed unless it's a certain size (can't remember the measurements) but very small. Go through the meta detector with arms up holding your possessions. After that if needed they will wand you. Get your electronic ticket scanned and they print your ticket. Atmosphere for Rockets games are always LIVE!! Love it. Concession stands are only taking electronic payments. Also they suggest you wear your mask while inside unless actively eating or drinking. Unfortunately the Rockets lost but it was a great game! As always will be back

TL;DR: Nice venue with great sound. Expensive concessions. Bag policy is not consistently enforced. I've attended so many events at Toyota Center over the years. The first time I attended a show at Toyota was back in 2007 (Justin Timberlake). For the most part, this venue hasn't changed much in that time. It's a really nice venue and the sound quality is good in my opinion. I like that they keep the aisles lit during shows in case you need to leave your seat. I've sat in many sections from front of floor to Club level (119-122 & 105-108), near the baseline at a bball game, and many of the sections in the balcony. The one area I have not had the pleasure of sitting in are the private suites, but hopefully I'll get to experience it at some point. If I can't be on the floor, I prefer the club seats because of the private bar and bathroom. I had club seats for the John Mayer show the other night and it was great. The view was perfect and I liked having the private bar and concessions. The one thing that has changed is the security policy post pandemic. I had checked the site to see what the bag size policy is. According to the site, it's 5.5" x 8.5". I brought a small purse which I thought met the requirements but apparently it didn't. The usher at the door had a paper and used it to measure my purse. I took that same purse to the Trevor Noah show last November and it was no problem. I saw other ladies who were able to bring in purses larger than mine, so it seems that it depends on the security person who checks your bag. They have a mobile locker on site that is $15. They offered to zip tie both my purse and my friend's purse so we could just pay one price. After the show, the line for the purse check was extremely long. It probably took 20 minutes or so to get our bags back and when my friend gave the ticket, they handed her one purse. Somehow my purse was not tied to hers. Luckily we were one of the last people in line so there were not many bags left. My purse was there and everything was in it, but it damn near gave me a heart attack. So if you're planning to bring a purse, I would suggest a small clutch, or be prepared to lock it in the mobile truck. Toyota uses AXS for their ticketing. I don't love the site because it's not user friendly in my opinion. With most sites these days, they do mobile ticketing, but when you scan your phone, it still prints out a paper ticket. Seems to defeat the purpose, but I do love collecting ticket stubs so I'm not complaining. My friend and I bought tickets at the box office day of the show and and we were given old school printed tickets. The lady at the box office was really nice and even asked me if I had a preferred section that I was looking to get tickets in. The ticketing fees, especially if you're purchasing resale tickets is crazy. I don't know if the fees differ much online compared to buying directly from the box office. As with any large venue, drinks and concessions are over priced. A bottle of water was $5.75. I didn't have any drinks at the show, but I think a beer like Bud Light (Dilly Dilly) is about $10. I rarely get food when I go there, but one time I shared nachos with a friend and they were pitiful. There are so many bars and restaurants within walking distance of Toyota, so I typically will eat and drink before or after a show elsewhere to save my money. I usually will park on the street (free after 6pm) or at the Greenstreet garage (usually $5) and just walk. It's only a few blocks away and isn't too bad of a walk. They do have garages for Toyota Center, but I do not know how much they cost. Street parking near the venue can sometimes be hard to find because some of the meters are turned into permit parking. There's garages at many of the hotels as well as Discovery Green nearby so you have options, but if you don't mind walking, save yourself some money and park a few blocks away.

Went to the Eagles show and had the worst experience in my life because of the staff . I arrested for taking a video and being Hispanic. I say that because 3 seats in the same row another person was taking video and a few rows down also taking video both of them carcassonne. I was singled out ,I'm a 65 year old dark skin Hispanic American citizen. Don't recommend any black or Hispanics go to Toyota center for chance you could be discriminated against.

Toyota Center has pretty much everything I expect from an average venue: overpriced concession stands, long lines, crowded parking. You're here for the event, not for the venue. It's serviceable enough so that I'll keep going. I'd advise to carpool/Uber here so you don't have to deal with traffic and parking.

I went for the LL Cool J concert and it was really nice open in Spacey Was not to crowded. I had a really nice time the drinks that they serve. They're a really good the bathrooms are really clean. I honestly don't have too many complaints other than the parking there is no security for you to be walking to your car alone so I highly suggest walking with someone. Especially if you're a small female like me but 10/10 I had fun. Would definitely do it again

Toyota Center is an easy venue to navigate once you fight your way downtown to get to it. Entry, security, and ticket scanning are all a breeze. We came recently for a concert and had issues with accessing our AXS ticket account and the box office was easily able to sort it out - so don't panic. I appreciated the professionalism and kindness of all of the workers there, especially when people are on high-stress trying to get into the show. Our seats for the show were in the nosebleeds, section 414, but we were still able to see well enough and didn't feel slighted by the experience. I was actually pleasantly surprised by the comfort of the seats in that section; I figured the cheaper the seats, the cheaper the seat feel, but that was not the case. Acoustics are not ideal for a concert, but most of the big name acts come through Toyota Center, so it is what it is.

One of the larger venues for sports (Rockets) and music events. I've been lucky to usually have access to parking (park at the office or at the Tundra garage) but paid parking in the area for events is pretty ridiculous. Interior is honestly nicer than Minute Maid and comparable to NRG. The staff here are hit and miss; sometimes you have very rude and subpar staff.
