Saratoga Performing Arts Center

Went down for the Phish flood show. It was amazing. Showed up Friday and was raining non-stop until the show. Had general admission tickets, everything was just super wet but it is what it is. Had an amazing time on the yard. Good people everywhere.
Saturday night got there early and made a direct path to general admission down by the fence. Had a super amazing spot right in the corner. Staff was super friendly. Waiting staff wanted to sell you drinks and whatever else you needed.
The staff that worked there were amazing too. Watching them deal with the people was funny at times. The old ladies were so nice and friendly. Can't wait for another show.

Really fantastic concert venue. Sound is great, which is what you would expect for an amphitheatre. Staff is very welcoming and nice. They serve liquid death as water, which is always a plus. Lots of food options too. SPAC is a great venue that should emulated more across North America!

Beautiful venue, great sound, only downside is the obstruction of view but it’s because of the upper pavilion. Design flaw, but makes up for it in sound and ambiance. Truly beautiful place and have shared many good times with friends here.

Its an old and extensive place. I love the park itself and all of the fun little twists and turns of the trails and entrances to the venue. Doesn't matter where were parked we can never find our proper parking area to the car. It's our own fault, trust me 😆. The lawn is pretty bad in rainy weather with the mud slide and weird rubber mating up closer. Bridges to the balcony is weird stuff. But I love it. Phish X2. (7/4/13 & 8/26/23.

Magic really does exist and this venue with the water tree's and all things nature bring the goods for a soul searching revival. I just saw the two Phish shows for the flood recovery and man oh man i feel like I was reborn. Thanks for the hospitality. Y'all mean the world to me be well and can't wait for future events there been coming since 2001 much love and light!!

Saw a great show from the first row of the balcony. Fantastic venue for a show…took a walk on the lawn to see what the perspective was from the General Admission seats & large video screens detail the stage(which can still be seen from the lawn area)….packed crowd. Saw the Cold War Kids open up for Tears for Fears & loved it! Definitely recommend this venue, which is connected to a state park with an automobile museum, a pool, golf course, & park.

The venue, crowd, and staff were very lovely. Had lawn seats both nights. The view of the stage was a bit obstructed in certain areas, best spot would possibly be middle of the lawn areas. Bringing your own lawn seats was allowed. Parking was nice as well easy in and out. Bring a grill some food and just hang out for a bit before the show. Would go back again. (Traveled from Illinois)

Went to see Guns N Roses Sep 1st, and the venue was amazing, quick, and easy to get Into the park and the venue itself. Very friendly and helpful staff. Plenty of parking but lots of traffic leaving after the event which is expected. But besides that it was well organized and clean from beginning to end.

Saw Foreigner there last week but have been going for years. Always a great venue that they keep improving! Great sound no matter where you are sitting, even if you're buying food or drink in the back!

SPAC is the greatest venue to see and hear live music. Set in Saratoga State Park, the views and trees and landscape is beautiful. I have probably seen over 50 concerts over the past 50 years, ranging from the philharmonic to the nyc ballet to rock bands including Sting, Steely Dan, The Doobie Brothers, Train, Govt Mule, The Black Keys, Imagine Dragons and many many more. The Lawn Pass is the best ticket around, and once in a while, I splurge for an indoor ticket. Looking forward to Guns and Roses Sept 1, 2023.

A great show and amazing staff! This was my long-awaited Guns N Roses concert and I could not be happier with the entire experience.

Absolutely lovely place to spend time in for a concert… acoustics are sound! Overwhelmingly good vibes for this Band however over sold lawn tickets made it impossible to feel upfront… thx god for White Boards! Lol

Would absolutely come back here for a concert. Everything from security, to vendors, to ushers were like a well oiled machine. We sat in seats near stage but I could see how even the lawn was excellent seats. They have little seating areas away from the crowds. The drink options were fun and shareable. My favorite part was that the womens bathroom never had more than a few minute wait as they had an attendant calling out open stall numbers and handing out paper towels for hand drying. I've never been to a venue where the bathroom was not torture for women. So much to do in the area that was fun to do you could come up a few days before or stay after the concert.

I'll never give them4 or 5 stars only because Live Nation is greedy. $19.50 service fee per ticket for our concert. You can only bring in bottled water. Back in the day before SPAC, you could bring in anything and have an affordable experience. But the show was great, the seats were comfortable, the ushers were friendly and helpful. And, believe it or not, the bathrooms were clean.
Update:
Raising my rating, even though live nation shows are super expensive, you do get your money's worth. They are super helpful when you are here and plenty of staff to assist.

For 2023, larger clear bags are allowed.

Went to see guns n roses. Way nicer than syracuse amplitheatre. Nice bathroom facilities. Tom's of shade. Very intimate. Great place will be back

We had so much fun here. This place is beautiful!!!!! Had a few strange encounters walking around the trails and parking lots surrounding the venue, but just be aware of what's happening around you, and you will be fine.

The venue is very unique!!! Lawn was extremely over sold!!!!

Venue employees here were a major pain as far as getting us all parked Friday night/ Saturday morning for Dead and Co shakedown. Like I said for other venues. You can't claim you didn't know we were coming. BIG THANK YOU to the local pd for telling the Live Nation employee guarding the gate at 2am to f-off, and let us all in.

Once we all got in, it was an absolutely awesome few days. Thank you for having us all.

First time there. It was alittle rainy at first but turned out to be perfect after it stopped and they're is places to hide underneath when it rains under rhe bridges and the trees. All the staff workers there were wonderful. Food and drinks every where merchandise tables. thank you for a good experiencem although there shuld be signs with arrows directing you back to where ever you parked they should name the lots where they let people park so we can atleast follow the signs with the name of the parking lot we parked in. You have to pay for parking theres only one place that i knew of that was only 10$ but no cash only credit and even inside i dont believe they accepted physical cash. But other then that really cant go wrong no matter where ur standing for a live concert !

We’re so lucky to have grown up here and have such a phenomenal venue to see various artist perform live. We have seen so many top music acts as well as the New York City Ballet and Philadelphia philharmonic.
The facility has been upgraded over the years to where now one can purchase super yummy food, wonderful alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages, fantastic coffee, high quality ice cream and pop corn.
The lavatories to relieve one Self have been upgraded tremendously as well.
And there is a good amount of security to make sure things don’t get crazy like they did years ago.
I can not recommend this facility highly enough.

Have been coming here forever and still love it. Try and get pavillion seats as the lawn can be tough. Other than that one of our favorite venues andca great town.

Went to a concert and saw Uncle Kracker, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and ZZ Top. Nice venue.
