I haven't been to the Pearl before so I don't know what to expect and was hoping it was a good venue. \n\nCame to see How To Destroy Angels and the acoustics were great. There's speakers all over the theater and if you program sound delays and balanced it right it could sound like 5.1 surround quality and they were able to achieve that for this show. \n\nIt's a good sized venue, but not huge so even if you're way in the back you can still get a quality show and not be in a nosebleed. There's general admission then seating balcony, mezzanine and they also have box seats. We decided to go with seating because we too tired and creaky for that standing business. Now, the BF and I aren't huge people, but those seat arm rests are small because our arms were on top of each other. The chair size is standard but since there is no gap between then it feels a bit cozy. \n\nBTW, if you want to skip the ticketmaster fees, just buy the tickets at the venues box office like we did. \n\nI didn't get from the concession stand but standard sodas, water and alcohol was available and also cocktail waitresses will be walking around during the show as well. Bring cash as I was told they were cash only, but I didn't buy a beverage to confirm it. They didn't check my purse, I had bottled water with me. \n\nOverall, this is a good music venue so if you like someone playing here I would say go!
