Venue and Seating Information
The Van Buren is a 1,800-capacity indoor concert venue in Downtown Phoenix, converted from a vintage auto dealership. Concert layouts commonly feature a general admission standing floor, with mezzanine or balcony options available for some events. Seating availability and access can vary by show, so check the event's ticket details before choosing a section.
For the closest, most energetic experience, the GA floor is the natural choice; arriving early can help fans secure a better position. The mezzanine or balcony is a practical alternative for an elevated view and more comfortable viewing. Fans who are shorter or arrive later may find sightlines from the back of the standing floor less favorable. Balcony access is by stairs, so guests with accessibility needs should review venue options in advance.
Parking Information
The Van Buren has no on-site parking. Nearby paid lots and downtown garages are available, but spaces can fill quickly on show nights. Booking ahead or considering Valley Metro Light Rail or rideshare can reduce the stress of finding a space. Avoid relying solely on nearby metered street parking, and do not park in the Ziggy Magic Pizza Shop / Stardust Pinbar lot; venue guidance says concert guests are not permitted to use it.

Forrest Frank Mesa reviews
Three Dog Night HOWLED !!!
Here is the rearranged review with the changes:
"The audience was friendly, we were so happy to be at the show. We heard some songs we had not heard before and the acoustics were fabulous. Cameras were permitted so we took some beautiful photos of the band. We sat in the orchestra section about midway to the back of the theatre. Toward the end of the show, people got up to dance directly in front of the stage where I was lucky enough to get an old album cover signed by Danny Hutton. This was the first concert I had been to since 1969.
We will absolutely be back to another concert at The California Theatre for the Performing Arts."
