I don't know if the stadium is the one I should review for this great experience, but I guess it has a part in it. I went there to an 'Hans Zimmer Live' concert, and it definitely was one of the best experiences of my life so far. The show was absolutely amazing. The sound was excellent. The atmosphere was great. I loved every second of that evening.

Actually I was There for attending a job fair, I like the place and there is a good transportation to get it...

I was on 5FDP concert, stuff is supportive, really fast on beverage points. Merchandise team was super fast

Came to Budapest for a holiday but we also came to this arena twice once one Monday to see Judas Priest then again on Thursday for Kiss. Cool arena with easy access to toilets and vendors, the only one thing I would say is that the seats are super close together, if you're someone like me whom likes to go get a beer or go to the toilets you have to ask everyone to stand up to get past.

We saw The Cure and Sting here back to back nights. The concerts were great! The venue is old, dated, not organized from a circulation perspective (long queues outside to get in). The first night we had seats in the 215 section. The seats are definitely not for American sizes. Super small and cramped. No cupholders and you end up sitting side ways if you are taller than 5' 5". I recommend buying an extra chair next to you do you can do this otherwise it's really uncomfortable especially since the stage is at an angle anyway. The good news is drinks are inexpensive and bathrooms plentiful. Tickets are inexpensive as well compared to US or even other European cities. The second night we bought tickets for standing room right in front of the stage. Great views! Spacious, great value for the sight lines and proximity to the stage. But that's about it. You have to fight through the whole crowd in the back to get to the front (no aisle or access). Supposedly there is a way to get there from outside but no one could tell us. So if you need to get a drink or use the bathroom it is the absolute most inconvenient of all the tickets you can buy. Not sure why they don't fix this ad they are the more expensive tickets I think since they are right in front and it's an easy fix but anyway, they are still better than the awful seats.

Here for the Robbie Williams XXV tour. Had a great evening made all the better by reasonable food and drink prices. Robbie on form and very engaging with the audience. Easily accessible Venue by the No.2 metro (M2) from Astoria. Arena is situated next to the Puskas Stadium. Would highly recommend if you are in the area and lucky enough to get tickets to a concert.

Good venue, once you can find it. Big, clean space. Was there for European Darts Competition but I imagine it's great for concerts, etc also.

A very nice place for organized events! I have been here for the "Il Divo" 2018 concert tour. Everything was very well organized. Ot was easy to find our sector, row and places, with the help of the organizers. In the break, we had the posibility to have a snack, to drink warer, soda, etc. I will come back with the next ocassion!

Great arena. it's not cold, neither does it get too hot inside. the toiletts are clean, prices are fair. You really MUST sit if you have a seating ticket (this was a bit of a disappointment for me because I really wanted to move around to the backstreet boys😅) otherwise the experience was good. very helpful staff.

Decent place, but some of the seats are awful. This one (Sector 104, Row V, Seat 10) cost 30 000 Ft (approx. £65) for Two Steps From Hell and, well, the stage wasn't very visible and the seat was pretty much falling apart too (the light technician sitting here didn't improve things either)... So, be careful when choosing your seat. Still, a great venue overall!

Such a great venue for all sorts of events. It has a lot of toilets, which are clean and are always fully stocked! The arena itself is also very comfortable and clean. Its always quite easy to get to the arena either by public transport or by car with plenty of parking spaces! Food and drinks are over priced, but that is to be expected!

I was lucky enough to see the Disney100 concert here. Amazing show in an amazing theater

Was eager to see Jose Carreras' performance. Unfortunately, the way the stage was set up for the event made it rather unenjoyable. The original ticket purchased guaranteed a nice seat until the stadium decided to make changes. The stage was way too far from the seats, and between the sets of rows there was a wide unused space left which prevented lots of people getting a closer glimpse at the great tenor. Also, there were no large screen monitors by the side of the stage to overcome the poor setup of the seats and allow many of us to get a closer look at the artist. As it seemed, the stadium had closed part of its space off for the event which limited an enjoyable view of the stage. Luckily, the autistics provided some consolation.

Had a great time there for 2cellos concert. The line for entry was a bit long, be sure to arraive in time. It was neat, adequate selection of food and drinks. The bufet was expensive, and even though there was a wait-in-line for your turn based service, a whopping 20% service fee was included in every item. The place uses reCup, so if you have cup tokens, take them with you, otherwise ~300HUF is charged per cup. Which you can return and revieve a token. Also you’re not allowed to take any plastic bottles/liquid containers into the facility.

We saw a Ghost concert. It was amazing! The only down part was the fact that the people at the gate didn't speak English at all and they refused to let us in with our backpack that was empty, beside the esentials a girl needs, that kinda sucked.

The concert I went to Sportarena for was very well organized and the whole venue is large and easy to navigate with ample places to get food/drinks, as well as 🚻 restrooms. Concert security was too strict though and definitely killed the vibe, but could be only on this particular day!

Went here last night for the Postmodern jukebox concert and it was a blast! Easy access, friendly staff, information booth, things to drink and eat, clean. And the arena is perfect for a small to medium concert.

Pretty typical small/midsize arena. Easy to get to via the subway system and easy to find your way around the venue even if you're not a native Hungarian speaker. Security was fine, drinks were reasonably priced, and sound and lighting were great. I was there for a Backstreet Boys concert.

Papp László Sportaréna is an outstanding venue for sports and entertainment. The arena's spacious and well-designed layout ensures great visibility from every seat. The state-of-the-art facilities, including modern amenities and excellent acoustics, enhance the overall experience. Whether you're attending a thrilling sports event or a captivating concert, Papp László Sportaréna guarantees an unforgettable time. The efficient staff and impeccable organization contribute to a seamless and enjoyable visit. Papp László Sportaréna truly stands as a premier destination for world-class entertainment.

First visit and impressed by the venue. Was there for Havasi concert which was just about a full house. Easy to get to via metro from city centre and a couple of hundred yards from metro to stadium. Entry was relatively quick and painless and once inside plenty of food and drink outlets which were quick and surprisingly fast to get served at. Easy to find seat and helpful stewards. Views of stage from where I was were great ( coca cola section I think it was called) only one gripe would be that they didn't open more exits after show as it was a bottleneck due to everyone heading for same exit. By the way Havasi was amazing. See photos

Eros Ramazotti - amazing show 🔥 One negative: the seats are not marked properly. After the show started and it was darker, we couldn't find our seats because there is no letters of rows normally visible, so we seated in completely different sector 🤷‍♂️

Quick entry, good crowd management during concert

Excellent modern stadium. Easily reachable by metro. Great acoustics.

Been there for a Robbie Williams concert pretty big hall a lot of accessible rest rooms, easily accessible from public transportation.

No hand soap at the toilets! So much for the hygienic measures! Not much after the COVID pandemic, seems like people have forgotten what we've been through and simply return to the past habits.... Incredible😒

Ok concerthall. Sound was great, but there were much confusion about where to go and how to get there.. None of the staff could tell us.. Concert was superb, but as a conserthall and eventplanner not super, hence just three stars.

Been at the Rod Stewart concert at the Budapest Sportarena and it was great. The location it self is good, close to the city center (but requires transportation), the place has several entrances so it was easy to go in and fairly quickly we were inside.

I was at a concert event, and the organization was like there hadn't been any. After the concert was over, we tried buying drinks three times. The first two times we were informed that they closed right at the moment we got to the bar, but at some other bars you can still order. Needless to say that by the time we got to the next one, that was already closed. And this all happened inside an approx. 20 minute time window after the concert was over. At the second time we stood through a long "line" (or more like a crowd pushing each other) only to find in the end that they are just closing. They should at least have told this earlier. There are much smaller venues in this city that are way more professional in events, this arena could really learn from them. Other than this, there were other details where I had this same feeling that whoever is managing the staff and services, should really not pursue a career in event management, since they have no idea what they are doing. One can see the great business opportunities given that in the area where thousands of people attended an event there are no pubs, restaurants or anything. They could make a lot of money with the very cheap and low quality products they offer for a very high price. Seemingly they are only interested in cashing in the rental fee from the events and then want to go home. All in all, I tried to enjoy a very great show, and even though it was excellent, it was hard to not let the venue itself ruin my evening.

One of the superb places I've been in Budapest, where international concerts were held. The venue was acoustically designed, easy small seats on the left and right side were foldable and tedious.

Close to the city center 10 minutes drive. Very efficient entrance and exit process. Excellent stage view.

👍

Very friendly staff very helpful good restaurant good connections to the metro line and trams into Budapest

We came all way from Serbia to see Ghost, organisation was great, we really enjoyed the concert !

Beautiful place, I went to 2 cellos show, check-in started at 7pm, the actual show started at 8:30 pm. When purchased a drink for 4500 Hf, I had to add 4500 for a plastic cup which I didn't even want. Several drinks, several times... Show and acustic were very good

Beautiful oval shape outlook stadium.

Beautiful Arena! And the beer is AMAZING!! Came here to see the World of Hans Zimmer and it was unbelievable!

The room was not clean, I don't know if it was an exception or not, but when we complained about it, they cleaned it immediately. The staff is very helpful and overall it was a good experience. We didn't have time to go to the spa so unfortunatelly I can't say anything about it.

Went to the Ákos concert, the organization with the security outside and the tickets checking wasn't the most efficient but we survived, the concert itself Was amazing, so if you want to head some local Hungarian music I recommend at least to check Ákos in spotify

This place is very easy to access and has many parking options in and outdoor. The indications to find your seating area are very clear to follow. There is chance to store the coats and to purchase food and beverages as well. The event hall is huge and each seating provides a proper view for the event. The bad side is the very small chairs and that you feel the head of the people in front of you at your knees… little bit uncomfortable in my opinion. The laser light show is frequently too strong on the concerts that can hurt the eyes of people if they are sensitive.

This venue is amazing. The MTV EMAs was the best experience ever

Great show, serious people, great experience

Attended the Dream Theater concert. The arena was filled to about 85%, which is more than 10,000 people. Very good air conditioning and ventilation system. Modern. Loyal security. Everything is at a high level. Hope I get there again.

You can buy popcorn and drinks from inner counters and bring it to the your seat. There are different entrances by different sections. The inside is not terribly huge but fine. We came here for one republic concert and it was a blast!
