Meymandi Concert Hall — Attraction in Raleigh

I love the Meymandi. We go to the North Carolina Symphony concerts at Meymandi frequently. The staff is wonderful and helpful! There is plenty of seating available for people with mobility issues--be sure to let the staf know, and you can have an option of tickets. The restrooms are always spotless.

🎶 North Carolina Symphony – A Magical Night with John Williams’ Music 🌟

The facility itself was ok but the staff at the enterance were tense, terse and began giving me conflicting directions. One woman told me to put my items in a plastic tray and when I picked it up the man in charge yelled at me to put it down and “why won’t you listen to my directions!” It was a lousy way to enter the building and ruined my experience within 10 feet of entering the building. I am a teacher and this was for high school graduation practice so I struggle to understand why they are treating guests worse than the TSA. If you are the staff in charge of these front of the house, people don’t take my word for it, watch them act terribly to...
