I have really enjoyed all my experiences at the IU Auditorium. I have been there many times over the years and the structure is great. All areas of the audience have a good view of the stage and the acoustics are excellent. It just feels grand and traditional, but with a college town vibe a ND coziness.

We love this venue. A great place for the celebration of IUs 200th anniversary.

A very magical space in the middle of campus that makes you feel like you might be in Manhattan! Beautiful art deco details and Thomas Hart Benton murals, too!

IU Auditorium has a lot of great shows! The staff are all professional and I had many great viewing experiences before the pandemic! Looking forward to its reopen. Highly recommend getting a ticket here if you haven’t!

Very nice auditorium. We drove from central Ohio to see Ray Lamontagne. I would deffinatly drive to watch another concert/musician there. Very easy to park and the concession prices were very good compared to arenas ive been to. This place has some very awesome acoustics. My advice would be to get seats in the center of the auditorium. Great sound.

Beautiful shows a very important place for southern indiana to experience the arts❤️🤍

Awesome place for shows and loved the decor!

Right now the Auditorium lobby is serving as a COVID testing site. While this use likely was not a part of the original plan for the building, it works quite well and it was good to be inside the building if only for a brief time

I brought my four year old (questioned this decision but really felt the experience could stick with her over time) to hear Mae Jemison speak and, well, she struggled walking to the event but we made it and then of course she fell asleep but really that was in my favor. I was blown away by her speech and so grateful to hear about the amazing accomplishments shes made. Id never been near an astronaut and now Ill just crave more knowledge from more of them if they can speak and inform as Dr. Jemison did. Pictured is my daughter, who posted perfectly before things started 😍.

Great place for a show!

Very beautiful venue, a historic, extremely well-kept building on the beautiful campus of Indiana. From the beautiful floors, up to the murals on the walls and ceilings, it is truly a hidden gem in Bloomington. The part that really makes this venue special is the people. Whenever I attend a show at the IU Auditorium, I know that I am going to be treated like family. Always expect a warm welcome and an enjoyable evening! I would highly recommend attending an event at the IU Auditorium!

Recieved covid testing here

The staff was so accommodating. Im in a wheelchair and this isnt the most accessible but the staff did their best working around it. The facility itself is beautiful. Also, there is a free shuttle that runs from a couple of the garages since you cant really park that close. Check their website for more info on that.

Staff was friendly. Auditorium was beautiful, clean, and had great acoustics. Only problem for me was Google Maps and navigating here, it wants you to drive down a street that is not actually a street but a sidewalk. Not a big deal when youre getting dropped off like I was but it would be a hassle if you were driving. Id still consider this venue again though!

Non stop laughs! Was a great show! Did show tickets and ask to be shown to seats. Had to move to other side due to being seated in the wrong area. Lights went out on the way. Was seated in correct seats, but one seat was full of beer due to person seated next to us spilling it, cup was broken. No apologies from that seat. Never told attendant, so busy at that moment. Person who was with me took care of it best as could. Only found out we were in wrong seats once correct owners were trying to be seated. The show was fantastic and all hosts were polite. Just needed better training for seating. Arrived 40 minutes early.

Saw my first show and was near the back. Must say I still had a good view and the acoustics were good. Definitely a good place to catch a love performance..

Great show seeing Bob Dylan. Not great watching my 60 yr old father run back to our car to leave my moms bag that was too big to then later see many backpacks of equal size inside. Get your act together with security there and also make sure ticket companies know your policies. I only gave two stars instead of one for the usher that was able to get a guy in the audience to stop smoking cigarettes mid concert so we could breathe.

Nice venue

This place was the best for a Bob Dylan show, nice and small, great sound close by parking. Very friendly and helpful staff, did have metal detectors, thats just a sign of the times, Best Dylan show I have ever seen. Thank you Mr. Dylan out standing performance

This is such a great little theatre. We often visit during the fall cinema series. It is intimate and there is often a question/answer session with the film maker or director. We enjoy bringing our children to see old black and white classics and/or silent films.

Inside the venue itself was nice but everything else was a nightmare. The parking was terrible. We needed handicapped parking and once we did find one suitable for out needs we had a 10 minute walk to the venue. The outside of the building was very dimly lit making me somewhat nervous for our safety while walking. There were still large spots covered with ice where we had to walk that had not been treated.

Whats not to love about the awesome entertainment IU invites here? Great venue, awesome student ushers. Great bus service to and from parking, definitely take advantage of this service!!

Went to see Chicago. We enjoyed the play very much & the actors did a great job. Very nice auditorium. Friendly staff. Seats could be a bit more comfortable. If youve never been to the campus finding the auditorium can be confusing from parking.

All but the parking was too notch. STOMP very cool. We had 50 people there from Stone Belt and student staff had a team assigned to us giving us great sevice

Good theater for students

Beautiful auditorium built of locally sourced limestone. I’ve seen art exhibits, listened to world class speakers and leaders, and have seen some of the finest performers and musicians of all genres in this venue. Always a memorable event. Located in the heart of Indiana University Bloomington, it’s been a hub of culture for nearly 80 years. A must see when in B-Town!

Its an auditorium. You like the show, you dont like the show. You love the atmosphere though.

Comfortable, mid-size venue for seeing various productions. My only complaint is that acoustics make make it difficult to hear solos against a full orchestra, especially for those artists with relatively weaker voices or those at extremely high ranges (sopranos and first tenors).

We saw a musical which was hilarious. The staff was welcoming and friendly to all. I will be back!!

This is a very nice auditorium. Ive seen many shows in my life in auditoriums and theaters. This one is a good experience. I did take off one star because concession and services are student run which causes some lack of professionalism. Ive seen concerts and plays here- the experience is wonderful. Ive never sat in the back or balcony but the design of the auditorium seems like it would be a good experience.

Not really a bad seat in the venue. Great sound acoustics

This is a beautiful auditorium. We went to see stomp and it was fantastic.the staff was very friendly and the place was clean

Had a great time here. Good seating and views and sound. Good shuttle service back and forth from the garages if you arrive early enough

We sat pretty high up and still had a good view of the stage.

Nice view at all angles: could see& hear well: staff nice & friendly. Gr8 show!

Id give a 5 if parking wasnt the worst ever...

Beautiful auditorium located on the IU Bloomington campus. There is really no bad seat in this auditorium unless you are way in the back- then stuff may get hard to see! Right by Showalter Fountain. The staff is always super friendly and helpful!

I really enjoyed the show.Great sound & cozy setting

Awesome place to study

My wife and I love to attend performances here. The accoustics are great and all seating is good. There is also wine and beer available. Its on the IU campus, so what could be better?

SPEA Graduation 2019

Very nice venue and they get top acts from all over. It’s free to park in the nearby parking garages and buses to the auditorium are provided. Food/drinks are available but predictably pricey.

Being here brings back great memories from my four years on campus as an undergrad.

I went to see Teresa Caputo, the venue was great except the parking options. I was late getting to the event due to driving around for 40 minutes trying to find a parking spot

Beautiful space, well maintained, skilled sound and light control. Lobby is pretty too

Great venue, les Mis was awesome

The place was really big and pretty. I would have givin 5 stars but i couldnt find any vendor that sold pizza.

Saw Mad Max: Fury Road and the sound was incredible.

One of the most impressive university auditoriums Ive been in. Amazing multimedia with web broadcast capabilities. Ive enjoyed all shows and conference meetings there. Auditorium ushers are exceptional and always helpful and professional.

Very pleasant staff nice atmosphere and good shows.

Loved it!! I will be back!! I felt like I was at a big Chicago premiere!! Wonderful job to the actors to the scenery to everything!

Went for a bob Dylan concert for my friends bday. Spent about 600 for 6 tickets and when the ushers sat us they took my friend and made him sit in the wrong seat and we couldnt sit with him. To say Bob dylan was past his prime was an understatement. He couldnt play one of his actual top hits.

Summer Band Concert was very goodAcoustics were superb.

Nice facility, could use more restrooms.

The auditorium brings in a wide variety of shows from live music to plays and even movies. Two events -- the Dennis James silent movie for Halloween and the Chimes of Christmas -- are the ones we see most often but we usually attend 2-3 other shows every year. You do not want to be too far back on the second floor, the balcony is pointless for anything more than music or a movie frankly. Tickets, while expensive, sell out fast so do think ahead; if you do an annual subscription you can save money but only if you plan to do several shows a year.The history of the place is quite interesting so arrive early so you can explore. Inside youll find some of the original pipes for music and outside youll see a lot of works of art from Indiana artists. The famous Benton murals showing Indiana history are also in outside of the auditorium proper but you can see those at any time when there isnt a show you need tickets for.

Saw Into the Woods. Great production. Always a great place to see shows. Not a bad seat in house.

Beautiful! Hadnt been there since addition. Was there for daughters graduation. Proud day

Great to see and perform shows here. The sound and views are good from just about anywhere but obviously closer seating is better

Fantastic theatre with some history! The organ is beautiful and sounds even better. Make sure you attempt to catch any performance at this gem.

Beautiful facility. Lots of attendants. Great

Seen ron white here.Great venue

Very nice venue. Classy but not pretentious.

Hard to get to. Crowded. Building is nice. Old with character

I saw Modest Mouse here on Oct. 19th, this venue was awesome and look forward to attending other shows here

IU Auditorium knows how to make you feel like youre not on a college campus. Its classy, clean, and youll never get a bad seat!

The show I went to see was awesome, but the temperature in the auditorium was horrible. It was so hot that if the show hadnt ended when it did, I probably would have left early.

Love this beautiful building, location and fantastic events they offer.

We have enjoyed several shows at the IU Auditorium. We sit way up in the back and hearing and seeing whats going on hasnt been a problem.

Its nice and as always the campus looks great

Great place to see a show!

Awesome theater with a great view from anywhere in the place. Lots of friendly student volunteer ushers. Love the IU line up ...saw Chris Botti perform and it was excellent. Parking was good and free, but not super close.

Beautiful place with great shows. Broadway in Bloomington

Really nice Auditorium. Was there for a graduation.

Excellent

Very large, seats were cozy but definitely didnt feel cramped.

Perfect place to see Stomp!

The auditorium was built in the 1930s but the architecture still seems very modern and the inside is beautiful. They manage to snag very interesting shows every year and the staff is friendly and helpful.

Decent place to see shows. Can get a little pricey depending on where you sit. Wish balcony seats were more reasonablely priced.

Had a great time everybody was very nice

Super clean, super huge. My only complaint is that if youre going to take the lids off of drinks you need to have cup holders.

Hard to get parking or avoid traffic coming here when there is a show going on. I recommend you park much further away and walk to the auditorium or take the bus.

Great theater that offers many amazing performances! If you cannot afford tickets, ask if you can usher in exchange for free tickets.

Best place ever. Literally the best place in the world! Literally.

Amazing staff, convenient shuttle from garage, beautiful theater!

Have Abby lee dance come to iu auditorium june . at 3;00,pm two show 17+ show not for kids

Saw Straight No Chaser. Fantastic evening.

Sophisticated and elegant public space for performances.

I saw Tony Bennett perform here and loved it. Its the home of amazing musicals like Legally Blonde, Academy Award winners like Meryl Streep, and so much more!

Went there for a couple of contemporary dace shows. Great shows. Just too bad that they have such things only once a year.

A very nice, impressive auditorium for large events, public speaking, concerts, and musicals. Always helpful and friendly staff.

Opened in 1941 offering a wide range of performing arts and world-class touring entertainment.

Amazing shows are always put on by their very professional staff. Great theater!

Fantastic acoustics in this wonderful, medium-sized venue. I would high recommend it!

This is such a beautiful place to see a show!

Nice auditorium with good acoustics - no bad seats.

Very big and people are very nice

A really nice place. Shame that it has to be associated with Indiana University

Great place for my daughter to begin her IU experience

Great programming this year.

My family saw Wild Kratts Live at IU Auditorium. The show and the venue were both great. We were in the balcony in a corner, yet we could clearly see and hear everything going on one the stage. I have started to look for showed at IU Auditorium as a result of our experience.
