Graceland Soundstage — Attraction in Memphis

I had a great experience going to the soundstage watching the comedy show with Nate Jackson as the main headliner. When coming into this venue, you wonder where to park at? Here’s the best advice I can give you! 🚨 parking will take you 15 to 20 minutes to get out if you park near the entrance. Once you come in it cost you $10 for regular vehicles bigger vehicles $15 but once you come in pass security gate, best parking is straight ahead nearest to the RV park gate. For those who know directions it would be the north east corner is the straight shot out. Once you come into the venue, you’re able to look around and enjoy the atmosphere very clean open and inviting. You will have a bit of a walk for almost 100 yards before you get near the welcome to Graceland building. You do have a check in both with School or your printout of your ticket. Travel light security will be checking. You will be going through a metal detector and or wand if needed. Once you come in everything is digital currency not currency! Coming into the soundstage lounge area very inviting open, you’re able to lounge for 30 minutes or more and just have casual conversations enjoy new company before going into the main venue. Once you come in, I will take this from the joke that was doing the show. It look like you would be in mega church the way it set up. Overall, everything is clear your seats do have numbers on them. They are hooked together so you are going to be close. If you big tall or like myself, I’m big size. Yes, I said it! You’re going to need that extra room if it’s you and your partner and you’re there early it’s best to unhook the seats before others arrive, which will make it harder if you’re on the ends works out perfectly in the middle not so much. The reason they give instructions in the email to arrive early and allow that our prior to starting show you’re able to come in so you’re able to locate your seat by merchandise and settle when you don’t do these things. It’s hard to find your seat, you and someone else may have similar seats with the wrong numbers and when the lights go down, the show is starting disrupts the flow atmosphere will change. If you’re there with someone that’s coming in a wheelchair and need assistance, they have more than a dozen ushers to assist.but you must approach them so you’re able to get proper seeding. Overall come with good intentions, good vibes and if anything I would say have some snacks in the car if you’re not parked in the...

I called the box office to purchase presale tickets. I was supposed to receive the tickets via email but never did and had to pick them up from will call. This was after making a few calls to the box office where they said that something was wrong with the system that emails the tickets so mine would have to be will-call. This ended up being a problem because I ended up with extra tickets I couldn't sell on Stubhub, etc.

Parking is a nightmare. We arrived 45 minute before the show but had to wait in line for 40 minutes on Elvis Presley Blvd. to get into the parking lot. They say it's a cashless venue in the email instructions, but you need cash to park (unless you want to wait in line even longer than 40 minutes for a big sold-out show).

The venue is a giant warehouse with interlocking banquet chairs. The space is not stadium seating, and the stage is low, so if you're in the back you probably can't see. Overall the space just seemed too large and was hard to navigate around to get to seats.

Bars unable to keep up with lines - people waiting 30 minutes or more for a drink.

30 minutes of hell to get out of the parking lot after.

For a venue of 2500 people, there is one set of small restrooms we saw. People waiting in line for 30-40 minutes to go.

Generally just seemed like something you'd encounter in Branson. Not a nice venue - just a money grab. We liked the performance but will never come back...

Subpar venue, which is a shame considering Elvis' name is on it. Plan to get there early; the line of cars just to enter the grounds from the street took 20 minutes from start to finish, and this was 45 minutes before the show. Next issue is parking - after paying $90+ for a ticket, and even with this venue being in the burbs of Memphis almost 10 miles from downtown, the venue charges $10-$12 to park on their grounds. Not a good look and comes off as a top-line money grab. Once inside the building, the room and layout itself is flawed. For some reason one set of main doors enters directly stage right near the front of the stage, which is less than ideal from a crowd flow perspective. It's a large room both width and length-wise. The acoustics were poor, especially from just outside the two sets of speakers. The band was good, crowd was good, but overall the venue took away from the experience. Don't recommend going unless it's a can't-miss act, in which case get there early, get a spot in the middle of the room for decent sound, and save up for parking so management can buy...
