Borgata Event Center

went to see Al Pacino there and spent over $ 700 for a meet and greet-​got nothing! No photos or autographs! so upset and let down. it was horrible!

The Event Center gets some pretty big name acts. In the summer of 2015 alone, Jerry Seinfeld, Lady Gaga, Tony Bennett, Santana and Rob Thomas are just a few of the top notch acts to cross the stage.
The venue set up will vary by event. I believe the bleachers are always available, but sometimes the floor will be GA instead of seated. The seats they use on the floor are kind of awful. They are just like something you would get at a conference. They are tiny, close together and not comfortable.
The GA shows are great. At least in the past, you can get up close and personal to the stage. Pro tip: they actually won’t let you wait outside the venue in advance of the show. You can line up once they open the event center and start letting you go up the escalators.
Speaking of the escalators, they don’t check your ticket until you get to the upstairs doors of the venue. Once you go upstairs, you aren’t stuck there, and can go up and down to your heart’s desire. This might be handy in finding a less crowded restroom elsewhere in the Borgata.
Drinks are tiny and overpriced. The beer selection is limited to several domestics. There are a few basic reds, whites and well liquors. Pro tip #2: you can bring your drink from elsewhere in Borgata. You’ll just have to put it in a plastic cup at the bottom of the escalator before you go up.
If you aren’t in a rush at the end of your show, hold back a little bit before exiting. A cattle shoot is probably the best way to describe the venture back down the escalator immediately after a show.
This isn’t the type of venue that you should visit because you want to see a show in the Event Center. A good reason to visit the Event Center is because you have a specific act you would like to see. They have some good ones though so it’s worth keeping tabs on the schedule.

Great awesome performance by Jerry Seinfeld but the event center itself is third rate all the way. The staff is clueless, we were sitting on folding chairs with paper tags on the sides to identify the aisle, I think you can picture the chaos. It reminded me of an elementary school auditorium. On the way out its like a funnel going toward the escalator with employees repeating over and over, keep moving, keep moving folks, lets go, keep it moving, duh, no kidding, I was thinking maybe I would just stand still for a few hours and stare at the ceiling, good thing you were there to tell us to keep moving. The Borgata is supposed to be this great property and they have this awful venue. Like I said the show was amazing, just to bad it was there. Go if you have to but if you can avoid this dump.

I absolutely loved seeing Idina (I have seen here elsewhere) because she is AMAZING! What I didn’t love was this venue. We spent a lot of money on tickets for this venue and it looked like a converted ballroom. It appeared that the seating was just wheeled in… totally unimpressive for an event center. We already bought Seinfeld tickets for next week, otherwise I wouldn’t return to this venue.

This is a great place to see concerts at. The venue is small, so any spot is a good spot. They serve drinks and have a very nice bathroom!
However, the organization skills and the staff need improvement. I went to see Lana Del Rey and it was a crazy, unorganized event. We got there at 10am (the concert started at 8) and they would’t let us line up. The main lady was screaming at people, threatening to cut off wristbands, and telling people to keep walking. She was rude, and inconsiderate.
I was with my two underage cousins, so we couldn’t go on the casino floor. We ate lunch at their buffet, inquired about a room, and shopped around. We got bored and just decided to wait for the line to start at 3:30pm. She made security guards kick us out. Once 3:30pm came, a mob started. People were being pushed and shoved and no one could get up the stairs because they wouldn’t let people up them. Why wouldn’t they let people up? Because the people in the front of the line were being pushed by the people in the back of the line. Makes sense, huh? Then as your being allowed up she is shoving people and screaming in their faces.
Once the main guy came upstairs he got THE WHOLE CROWD under control! I wish I knew his name because he, with the help of the security, organized everything. It was so nice once he organized it.
That woman should not have that position because she made the whole thing worse. I wish I knew her name because I would call and complain. We were patrons and we were treated like prisoners.
