Phoenix Concert Tickets (all about Phoenix concert venues)
Phoenix isn’t a little city anymore and as a result we aren’t stuck with little concerts or little venues anymore either. There are all sorts of great venues to see concerts in Phoenix and there are even ways to get your hands on tickets when the box office is sold out. Here are some venues and resources.
Glendale Arena - For big honkin’ concerts there is Glendale Arena. Many of the biggest most popular artists play here… mostly because they can I guess. The wiki for Glendale Arena says:
Glendale Arena is an arena located in Glendale, Arizona, a suburb of Phoenix, Arizona. It is home to the Phoenix Coyotes of the NHL and the Arizona Sting of the NLL. Completed in 2003, the arena cost $180 million. It seats 17,500 for hockey and lacrosse. Glendale Arena sits across the street from Cardinals Stadium, which is also a brand new sporting complex in Arizona.

Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum - An older and slightly smaller version of Glendale arena. It’s wiki says:
The Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum is a 14,870-seat multi-purpose indoor arena in Phoenix, Arizona, located on the grounds of the Arizona State Fair. It is commonly referred to as simply the Coliseum.
This place hosts some big concerts too.
US Airways Center - The other big honkin’ place in town. It’s big enough for the Suns so it is big enough for most any concert.
Cardinal Stadium - The honkin’est of the honkin’ venues in town. Unless you’re looking to see the Rolling Stones you won’t see many concerts here. It’s mostly an NFL stadium.
Phoenix Symphony Hall - This hosts, you know, groups like the symphony, various, operas, ballets, etc.
Mesa Amphiptheatre - Always good place for a show.
Dodge Theater - Air conditioned! Hosts loads of medium sized concerts throughout the year.
Marquee Theatre - Loads of good rock acts come through here.
Cricket Pavilion - Loads of cool rock acts make appearances here too.
The Cricket Pavilion is an amphitheater located in Phoenix, Arizona USA which seats 8,000 under a pavilion roof and an additional 12,000 on a spacious hillside behind the main stands.
