jefferson theater印象

I've been to two concerts in this venue. First time, I stood on the main floor, leaning against a wall to listen to the bands. During the opener, I went upstairs to check out the balcony and it was packed and I couldn't find a seat. For my second time, I decided I definitely wanted to sit down during the concert, so I arrived before the doors opened at 7 pm and there was already a line (sold out Ingrid Michaelson show) about 50-100 people deep. By the time I walked in and headed up the stairs to the balcony, the entire first two rows were filled. There are several rows of seats with a left, middle and right section so it was easy for us to find seats at that time. By the time the opening band started at 8, most of the balcony seats were taken with an occasional single unoccupied seat in a row. However, I am average height and my knees were pressed against the back of the row ahead of me so this would definitely be challenging for anyone tall, so you may want to try and get an aisle or at the wall seat to be comfortable.I later discovered that on the main floor, there are a few bar tables with a few chairs located at the back and near the bar. Not so sure that this would be available at every show, but something to keep in mind, if you get there early enough to snag. Great place to watch a show.

We went to see Sweetwater Band and had a wonderful time. Not really many places to sit so be prepared to either get there early or be on the dance floor.

The seating is absolutely atrocious, with folding chairs crammed together. It’s really a shame because they book some really good talent. Enduring the venue is more than we’re willing to take. Go if you don’t care about comfort or elbow room.

The Jefferson Theater was renovated several years ago. It was an old movie theater from the 1920's and they took the time to bring it back to life. There are two bars and a large open floor. there is seating on folding chairs for some performances but for most bands it is just an open floor. AT the top there are a few tables which are reserved (I believe there were 6 tables each seating 4 people.

I love this place - the atmosphere is great. I'm so glad someone had the insight to restore a lovely old theater and use it for music events. What a save!!

The theater is located on Charlottesville's pedestrian mall and is the ideal location to see a concert / show. Limited seating but a great sound system.

If you are headed to Charlottesville, take a minute or two to see who is playing at the Jefferson. Great place to watch music, and generally they have a great lineup of artists (local and national).

I was expecting a little better finish work since the Jefferson was such a classic old theater before they made it into a new venue. Too bad they gutted most of it to produce a new place for younger crowd rock bands future rock star hopefuls... We went there for a Led Zepplin cover... Even for them, the decibel level in the place was way above 100db... good thing we had ear plugs or we would have been deaf in the 1st 10 minutes... The staff running the audio console were over driving the microphones trying to keep up with the music volume and they were buzzing, humming and feeding back. It would have been much more pleasurable with just about 10 db less volume. (still over 90).Also... it's too bad they gutted the place. With the exception of the side boxes which were stuffed with soundproofing and not accessible to the crowd, There is little left inside of the original Jefferson Theater that represents the class and elegance they old theater used to have.Won't go there again.

We went to the Jefferson to see The Steep Canyon Rangers and had tickets for the balcony, thankfully. The acoustics were generally pretty good (although I think their sound guy had the instruments too high against the voices). There were seats on the main floor, which I understand is not the usual setup. About halfway through the show, a couple of people ran up the side aisle and started dancing near the stage, but in the aisle right in front of the seated people. They were less-than-careful with their drinks and seemed to be close to knocking into the people seated near them. After about 5 minutes of this, and not being able to see, one of the seated patrons finally went and complained and a bouncer came down and made them leave.This would not have caused a bad review, except for what happened next. After another ten minutes or so, more people came up and started dancing and carrying on. More and more came up until both side aisles and the front of the stage were clogged with people dancing right in front of those who had paid for and sat up front. No one from the Jefferson ever came to tell them to sit down and respect other's viewing.This did not diminish my enjoyment of the show as we were above it all looking down, but if I was one of those who had paid to watch someone's rear-end wiggling in front of me instead of the band i had come to see, I would have been pissed.Maybe since the main floor is normally "standing room only", the management forgot that they had paying customers seated there.

I've recently discovered the Jefferson Theater. I saw a 90's DJ Band and The Legwarmers there in the last two months. It's like an old vintage theater that they've removed all the seats. Everyone just stands there in front of the stage. Not too big, not too small. They also have a full service bar inside, which is awesome. They always have a FREE coat check downstairs which makes it so much easier in the winter time, so you don't have to carry your coat all night. The tickets for the shows are very inexpensive as well. SO worth your time and money.
