I've been to many great shows at the DPAC and have never had a bad experience. The staff is always very helpful. The venue is one of the best I've ever been to. I enjoy myself every time I go. It also didn't hurt that I won tickets to see Hamilton (again).

Went here for Jesus Christ Superstar Musical. The seating was fantastic. Paid $125 a seat & was a perfect distance from the stage but close enough we could see the spit & sweat from the performers. ORCH Sec.2 seats G 305 & 306 & F 305. The food is obviously limited... containers of trail mix & yogurt pretzels for nearly $5 hot pretzels for $6 & sodas were $7. They do have alcohol available at different stations for each floor. The security is thorough but ladies are currently NOT limited on bag size like other venues. Parking at ATC was available for $7..only a few hundred feet from the venue....funny parking cost the same as a soda.. ?. From the looks of it...I'm not sure there's a bad seat here...unless you short like myself.. but i still managed a fantastic view. ?? wish I had more photos to share...but no video or photos were allowed of performance. 4 stars due to pricing of the concessions... they could definitely do better on this

This theater is gorgeous! On a hot summer night, it was wonderful to see my favorite artist (Amos Lee) perform in the comfort of an air-controled space. My favorite venue in Raleigh

The first picture is the orchestra pit. The second one is the stage for Hamilton. What an amazing show. The theater is of course fairly new and just beautiful on the outside. They have several parking lots, so parking was easy. The interior is beautiful also oh, and very very clean, and very secure, with lots of service people two man the food and refreshment stands. Drinks and food all right bit cheaper then they would be at the Ballpark. All the employees are extremely helpful. And friendly. I'd go there all the time if I could afford a season pass.

Wonderful venue. I don't think there is a bad seat in the house! Friendly, helpful staff. (Photos from Celtic Woman and Post Modern Jukebox concerts.)

DPAC is wonderful. They have easy parking, wonderful restaurants around their facility. They also have nice seating and a great bar and snack area.

Fantastic venue for an extraordinary 2Cellos Concert! All the staff were efficient, friendly and welcoming and the area of Durham was great. Had dinner at Tobacco Road Cafe and the food was plentiful and delicious!

Saw Slash with Myles Kennedy here last night want great venue! Beautiful, comfortable seats, not a bad seat in the house. Parking decks close by. Would definitely come back for another show!

This place was amazing ?. Complimentary Starbucks in the lounge areas. I recommend looking up a show and picking a room downtown. Parking was no issue .

Really nice venue for a show. I don't think are any bad seats there. Staff was friendly and helpful. Wish the concessions had a little more selection (mostly water, sodas, and candy).
