First time at the venue. Easy to get to, parking nearby, great bars, great staff. It's a tight general admission environment, could use more bathrooms, but a really good spot to see a show. Dylan Scott was great!

We attended a general admission event and were fine at the very back of the venue with no desire to be close to the "action". We were interested in the music only. Monitors were hanging from the ceiling at the back of the venue, but we could see the stage just fine because that part of the floor was raised slightly. We were served by a nice bartender and didn't have to use the restrooms while there, so I don't have an opinion.

Giving 4 stars because the venue was fine, nothing bad or great, just ok.

Great venue that has truly amazing sound and lighting.  If you're ever in NYC and you have an opportunity to see a show at Terminal 5, you won't be disappointed. This is a full send venue! Totally recommend!

Great venue, the bartenders are hit or miss. Some are brothers and some are out to ruin your night, (I don’t actually believe that they are but heck, I’m feeling dramatic).
I saw Mk.Gee live at Terminal 5, reviewing a venue is such an interesting experience, I guess it all depends on the quality of the concert, the ambiance, the people you came with, the people standing next to you, the people standing next to the people standing next to you, the amount of drinks the people next to you have had, you get the point. There are tons of variables and terminal 5 keeps it pretty consistent. Kudos. Will be back.

Terminal 5 is one of the very best places to experience a concert in NYC.

I was fortunate enough to get the premium VIP 1 experience at this venue, not once, but twice for two consecutive nights to see one of my favorite bands from the great nation of Japan. BABYMETAL.

I arrived hours early at the venue for my appointment check-in and I could immediately see and understand the separate line queues that Terminal 5 had set up. Very appreciative, I stood in my line with fellow fanatics and it was a nice clean and safe block and I stood for hours chatting with fellow fanatics until the time came for my line to check-in. The organizers of this process did an outstanding job of communicating everything to the lines and how the process of getting in would work. Having our ID's ready, to confirm ages and personalized VIP check-in and having our digital tickets ready along with giving us distinctively colored wristbands to allow the check-in process to go smoothly.

Which it did.  After being given my VIP gifts, I was allowed to immediately purchase merchandise at an area that was clearly marked and visible.

After doing so, I was able to either, arrive to my front barrier spot on the floor (in front of the stage) or could have visited the numerous visible bars located on each level (from what I recall) and bathrooms were also clearly marked.

Everything inside Terminal 5 was clean and well cared for. The main floor and everything around that I noticed was spotless and I heard good things from others there that bathrooms and bars were also well taken care of.

I felt very comfortable and very safe inside. Speaking of that, I will say that Terminal 5 had the best Security Staff that I have ever seen in any venue anywhere in my life!

I am not exaggerating. I can specifically point out that the gentleman in charge of the Security Staff was an individual who I would say goes "above and beyond" the scope of the job. This gentleman was exceptionally accommodating. To this note, what I mean is Security Staff handed out Poland Springs to anyone who felt like they needed to hydrate.  They were also very courteous when interacting with us. Also, fans who were crowd surfing on their way to the front barrier, the Security Staff were very quick to accommodate the safety of that crowd surfer coming over the barrier. There were no accidents and everyone was perfectly safe from what I observed. This was my experience from two nights, not just one. I can claim that Security Staff working at Terminal 5 are one of the very best in all of NYC.

The Audio at Terminal 5 was also perfectly fine. The music was crisp and not too overly base-boosted and nothing was 'shaking' so for a heavy metal show I was very pleased with these acoustics at Terminal 5.

Exiting the venue  at the end of the shows was also perfectly smooth. The Main Exit was a minor queue to leave to the street however employees were present to guide everyone on their way out.

What else can I say about Terminal 5? I would rate it more that 5 stars if I could.

I was very honestly surprised with my exceptional experiences here over the two nights!
