Timothy TannerFebruary 3, 2013Get seats in the center and close if possible. Tickets go on sale months before each concert. The seating was metal card table chairs. I saw Duran Duran, Diana Ross & also Bad Company there and more.
Paige ToddMay 28, 2014Seat upgrades and exclusive VIP experiences are now available at Blue Hills Bank Pavilion. Upgrading is fast, easy, and fun! Just visit livenation.expapp.com from your iPhone or Android. Read more
MaryAugust 17, 2016Love this venue! Right on the water, which is just gorgeous. And when you're over 40, getting a seat in the front row- as opposed to a pit- is much preferred (not that I plan on sitting!).- Meg BermanDecember 6, 2018There is no better place to see live music than this venue right on the water. Located in the Seaport district, with lots of restaurant and bar options for before or after the concert.

Yuval ZukermanSeptember 15While it's clean and safe and well organized, the sound at the venue is atrocious. For the $100++ ticket price, you could wish they figure out how to make the audio worthy of the artists that appear.
Ali AllenSeptember 6, 2013Eat before you come. Pizza slices, 8.4 oz red bulls, plain fries, and popcorn each cost $6. Bring a sweater in sept. Otherwise a decent outdoor venue, gorgeous view right by the water.
The best bathrooms to hit up are to the left of the stage about halfway down the aisle. You'll still be able to hear everything from in there
Josh WhiteSeptember 7, 2015Nice summer venue. SUPER STRICT though. I've seen some heavy bands and if people even jump up and down they get reprimanded. Just look at this sign. Lol
LexusJuly 10, 2013Walk the Lexus Red Carpet and check out the all-new 2014 IS 250 F SPORT right past the entrance for a chance to upgrade your concert experience or win free concert merchandise. #LexusVIP!
Oxfam AmericaSeptember 2, 2011One of our favorite Boston concert venues! If you're checking out a show here, keep an eye out for the Oxfam table! Stop by and join thousands of music fans in fighting hunger, poverty & injustice! Read more
Jake SmithJune 13, 2013If you're the designated driver, sign up at the special DD booth to receive free soda for the duration of the concert you're seeing.
Get tickets at the tables and enjoy the room to stretch out and relax!
RC LationsAugust 19, 2010Probably the best large venue in the Boston area. Good seating, right on the water, and parking isn't bad either. Only problem is the $11 cans of beer.- Katie KearseySeptember 12, 2011This place is awesome for summer concerts! Be sure to scope out the waterfront & watch the planes taking off and landing behind the stage. Read more
VH1July 21, 2010On those cool nights, head to the first blue tent on the left when you enter the Bank of America Pavilion. It’s the only spot to get hot coffee! – Team Live Nation
kenji rossMarch 18, 2012confuse your friends by stubbornly referring to this place as Harborlights, years after the big banks bought the naming rights and made the name incredibly awkward.
William TollSeptember 21, 2022Massive Thunderstorm rolled in at the end of the New Order show, just before the Pet Shop Boys - even in row L we stayed dry
Blake SirachAugust 23, 2014Great venue, but be wary of slow beer lines (some vendors are more efficient than others)
Bri HowardJune 23, 2011Great venue. Can see the concert from anywhere. Grab a cone of ben and jerrys and sit back and watch the show.
Trevor KentSeptember 15, 2014Portugal. The Man was great. Wish there was dancing room and not seating.
Brittni LiyanageAugust 2, 2011RC is exactly right. Beautiful place on a nice summer night. Only thing he got wrong is that beers are $12 now.
Christine VarrialeSeptember 14, 2012Get drunk at the sandwich shop across the street first. Your wallet will thank you later.
Enrico ManaloAugust 16, 2018Odd place to see a concert. The drinks are expensive and whenever I go there it’s raining.
Doreen NicastroAugust 14, 2015#ledzeppelin #pinkfloydd Aussie style perfect summer night #bostonstrong- Chris ZinggMay 16, 2017Not an absolute horror but they need to work on their audio system. 1 large speaker on each side of the stage is not sufficient to deliver music to an auditorium of its size. Not going back soon.
Erin CopelandAugust 30, 2011Have drinks down the street at Atlantic Beer Garden before you head in - $12 beers in the venue!
Ellis ReaveyJune 14, 2012Idiots charge 10 bucks for 24oz beer when you can get two 12oz for 8 bucks. And get this...an o'douls costs 6 bucks.
Taylor MurphyAugust 23, 2012make sure you have cash before. for some reason, my BoA debit card didn't work in the ATM inside the venue!
Alec GiggiSeptember 28, 2011When you come to see Incubus here, double check that the show's not actually in Mansfield that night. Oops.
Walking in, go ALL the way to the right. Beers are oddly $2 cheaper...
Use the bathrooms to the left of the stage if you dont want to miss much of the show.
Jack's Mannequin On TourApril 21, 2011Come back and see Jack's Mannequin and Guster Live on August 12th, 2011. More info here:
MazdaNovember 19, 2010In 2004 FleetBoston merged with Bank of America; the pavilion was then renamed, Bank of America Pavilion.- Emily YeagerSeptember 12, 2011This is a nice venue, but Live Nation's concessions are so expensive! $7 for a 12oz Harpoon!? Read more
- Slightly StoopidMay 18, 2011
andre haynesJuly 9, 2013The security guards here are awful. LiveNation pays octogenarians 6 bucks an hour to bust balls. If anything bad ever went down this place would burn down.
Xavier RamirezJuly 23, 2010See a Slightly Stoopid show here... Happens every year... Usually 2 days in a row
Jeremy FreemanJune 30, 2009Enjoy a concert on the end of a pier and enjoy the music while surrounded by water!
Michael ThieleOctober 2, 2011Sound at outdoor venues is usually terrible, but the sound here is... decent.

Jamie Ferguson - 7.4
"They have a box seating, which is very nice! You will be treated as VIP, with your own bar, toilet and butler. Not bad for the price and you have a good view of the stage."
