Peoria Scottish Rite — Attraction in Peoria

Although the building is beautiful and the stage area was festive, we were disappointed at the show we attended last night. I read the seating wrong when I picked out spots to sit. We were in the last row (M) of the middle level. These seats required several steps to reach and then several more to use the bathroom. This last row also has absolutely no room for our legs. We are tall. The other rows have more room for legs. Worse than the steps and lack of leg room was the temperature. Extremely cold air was blowing straight down on us!

The recent Walter Trout show was absolutely fabulous. Walter was in blistering blazing form and his touring band of seasoned players complimented perfectly. It was a perfect night at a perfect venue.

The Scottish Rite is such a handsome structure - seating was more comfortable than any other venue in Central Illinois - every seat is a great seat - and the acoustics are perfection!

I'll close with this: the staff at the Scottish Rite couldn't have been more professional and friendly and helpful! In a time, unfortunately, where most businesses and many employees could care less about customer service, the staff at the Scottish Rite get it. They were all smiles and THEY helped set the tone for the amazing experience that was to come.

Thank you to everyone at the Scottish Rite and thank you Walter Trout - rock on brother.

They herd you down like cattle and there was no where to sit. While they opened doors early, they wouldnt let you go to your seats. There is nothing on the ticket or website that said we couldnt go to our seats when they open the doors. There was no overflow area for handicap people to stage and sit.
