    Attending the Janet Jackson Together Again Tour at the PPL Center was absolutely AMAZING, & we had thee BEST time!! Even though there was an enormous crowd, we were able to enter the venue & go through security in a reasonable amount of time. We had floor seats, which were comfortable & not too crowded. The PPL Center is located within walking distance of several restaurants & hotels. Parking near the venue is really inexpensive.

    The PPL Center is a modern facility with lots of amenities. Right in the middle of downtown Allentown, it's easy to get to with parking garages within easy walking distance. Great views, good food, and good shows with top entertainers. Also, home to the Flyers minor league affiliate the Phantoms. Great time, and we will definitely go back.

    Hi highly recommended PPL Centre. Located in the heart of Allentown, this premise is the entertainment hub. I recently watch the home team Phantoms πŸ‘» Winning a hickey game. The VIP lounges offers a stunning view of the game, unbelievable soround system as well. Food courts available as well, you can order from your comfort of your set by the App. Highly recommended πŸ’ͺ🏻πŸ’ͺπŸ»πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰

    Awesome stadium! Great fan support! Amazing facilities, food, seating! You must see the LV Phantoms! Parking attached to Arena is very convenient. Only drawback is the parking elevator. Only one, so skip it going back to your car and take the stairs. Great pre-season game vs the Hershey Bears!

    Nice arena with not a bad seat in the house. WWE house show was fun and the crowd was energized and enthusiastic. Looking forward to watching a Phantoms game there in the future.

    Staffing shortages are beginning to effect customer service. Some vending facilities are currently not open causing long delays at the few that are available. Overall, this facility is clean, has great site lines, has safe well lit parking options. The revitalized downtown provides nice options for dinner and drinks before and after events.

    We were there for Monster Jam and it was a blast all around! But the PPL center itself was clean, easily accessible, parking was simple, not over crowded, and they put on a good show. Can't complain!

    My girlfriend and I saw Tool and loved it. Great venue, just a headache to find parking. Pizza was good too.

    We were invited to a hockey game by a business associate. They had a season ticket for a sky box. There was a small buffet of food layer out. The food was good. The food was Mexican style. Then a dessert cart came around to each of the boxes with cake and ice cream. There were drinks available, non and alcoholic. The game was great. The Phantoms ending up winning. Overall a great experience.

    The arena itself is clean and modern. Seats were comfortable and view was great from section 112 row 9. Parking was a nightmare. There was no traffic control and the traffic on the surrounding streets were at a standstill. It took us 35 minutes to go the last two miles and get into the parking lot. They seemed underprepared for a sold out Disney on Ice show. Parking can be prepaid in advance, but you still have to wait in the same lines as those who don't prepay. The parking lot attached to the building cost $8 and was credit card only. We ended up only 5 minutes late for the show, but there were plenty of empty seats for the first half of the show. Leave plenty of extra time to get there. The food was standard mediocre stadium food. It was reasonably priced. $12 for a cheeseburger and fries. $5 for an all beef hot dog and $2 for a bottle of water. Everything was cashless. I appreciated the availability of the allergy friendly options, but the staff were not properly prepared to handle an allergy order. They had to get two managers to show me ingredients for the gluten free bun (which I'm grateful they took the time to do), when I confirmed the gluten free bun was safe one of the staff went to just unwrap a premade regular hot dog to take the hot dog off and put on the gluten free bun. Thankfully the manager stopped her, but for someone with a severe wheat allergy that could have been a major problem.

    So much fun! Highly recommend to check out their event calendar for a variety of events, sports, family-friendly events. Always easy travel and plenty of parking garage options within only a few blocks for an easy walk to the Center. Good food and drink options around the Center (inside and outside around Allentown). We were up in one of the box units last night. Can accommodate 17 people and good for corporate events, family parties or any type of celebration.

    Attended a Trans Siberian Orchestra concert at the PPL Center and it was absolutely spectacular! Nice facility. Floor seats are very close together. Go to events early. Lots of traffic and hard to find parking, although there are quite a few parking decks in the area.

  • 5/5 Trudie L. 5 months ago on Google
    The staff workers are polite and very helpful. The arena itself is easy to find in downtown Allentown PA with plenty of available parking lots nearby. Safe due to police presence.

  • 5/5 Ebonie B. 11 months ago on Google
    Place was great. Be prepared to wait in line. Get there early. Park in the garage, it is only a few blocks away. Worth it. Nice size turnout. They sale food and drink.( I didn't try any but heard it is good) My seats were great!

    We loved our seats at the amazing Stevie Nick's concert 11-4-23. Great venue.

    Don't like the area, old beat up building but I'll go again and give it another chance. Didn't see the better food choices til everything was closed.

  • 5/5 Ginger B. 8 months ago on Google
    We came to see Monster Jam and it did not disappoint! The center was nice and clean and pretty easy to navigate! The show was amazing too. The center was freezing cold though, don't know if it's always like that or it was just for this show but bring a sweater just in case!

  • 5/5 Barbara 1 year ago on Google
    Easy access, you can scan the tickets yourself, booked a parking too, which was great as we didn't have to search for a parking. Buffet prices are high, bit not more expensive than elsewhere.

    Went to see Stars on Ice, great seats, courteous staff, and a Tim Hortons to boot! Nice ride out and back from Buckingham Township. Worth the trip...

  • 5/5 Erik G. 1 year ago on Google
    PPL Center is great! Drove about 2 1/2 hrs to see Greta Van Fleet!! Definitely recommend reserve parking in the Orange deck attached to the arena. Very little wait to get in when entering from the Orange parking garage. Seats are comfortable and reasonably spaced and everything seemed quite clean considering the amount if people there.

    Great venue. Pleasant staff. Took my Granddaughter here for Greta Van Fleet concert. Had a great time. Haven't been to a concert in 50 years. It was worth the 4 hour drive.

  • 4/5 David M. 1 year ago on Google
    Saw Lamb of God with Trivium and Megadeath here. Pretty cool venue for this kind of show. Had a parking garage for $10 about a block away. Very easy to get into venue. Area around venue is a little sketchy but not too bad, felt safer than Philly. Drinks were expensive but that was sort of expected I guess. Will definitely come back if they keep having these kinds of bands come through.

    Attended the Greta Van Fleet show last night, Oct 1 . The show was absolutely amazing! The two opening acts were great! Greta… incredible! Love them more n more each time i see them. The venue had some organization issues but the staff handled things fairly and safely. My daughter and i were in the pit and security did their job removing people who had difficulty following rules , handing out bottles of water and keeping an eye on the pit crowd.

    There isn't a "bad" seat at any price point at the PPL Center. It was well designed with the spectator in mind. My family and I have been to the PPL for Phantoms games and shows. The PPL has also done a great job managing through the pandemic and welcomed all patrons (unlike the "City of Brotherly Love") with open doors. Highly respect and appreciate the PPL Center.

  • 4/5 James K. 2 years ago on Google
    The Arena is beautiful. Not really a bad seat in the house. The big complaint I have is the parking. The city needs to set up a better traffic pattern for the parking garages. It is nice to see how the PP&L Center has brought up the surrounding area. Very impressed. Just work on the traffic control.

  • 4/5 Jill C. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice venue. Easy parking garage access not too far away. My kids enjoyed the monster trucks. Some staff were great and friendly while we encountered one woman multiple times during the evening that needs to work on her people skills!
