Great acoustics. Not a bad seat in the house. Hillary Hahn performance was well worth the road trip.
On the PAC website, they publish that assisted listening devices are available upon request; this is a joke. All that they have available are a couple of sound amplification headsets that simply magnify all sound, including noise. Such headsets do not meet the minimum requirements for "effective assistance" as defined in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Today there are many technologies available for venues in order to really assist individuals with hearing loss. Such things as hearing loops and FM and IR systems with headphones and neck loops are examples of truly effective assists for people with hearing loss. Wi-Fi/ Bluetooth streaming, though actively marketed by audio companies, has yet to be demonstrated in independent studies to be an effective solution for people with hearing loss due to latency issues and being too cumbersome for older (non-techie) hearing aid users.
The UGA Performing Arts Center can and should do so much better.

Saw nickel creek. Best venue ever. Comfortable seats and people just let the musicians play instead of screaming every 10 s. Love the no cell phone policy!
I participated in the wearing white blouse ceremony here. Everyone and there's had a warning party. I liked
WORST VENUE EVER! WAS TOLD I COULD NOT DANCE AT MY SEAT BC IT WAS A FIRE HAZZARD, THEN TOLD ME I COULD DANCE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE EXIT ISLE! MAKES NO SENSE! AVERAGE AGE OF THE AUDIENCE WAS 80! YOU ARE AWARDED NO STARS AND WILL NOT BE GETTING A RETURN VISIT! YONDER WAS AMAZING!!!
This is a beautiful, unique venue. I love the seating. Not a bad seat in the house. I enjoyed hearing Itzhak Perlman. 😆
Modern concert hall with good acoustics. The balcony is not far from the stage which we appreciated. Seats are quite small though and just getting to your seat while yielding to other people can be challenging. All staff was very welcoming. We have enjoyed Mnozil Brass concert very much!
