Ben Folds Tickets

Wow. Just. Wow. Tall Heights was AMAZING too!! Was worth every penny. Thanks Ben and co!

We got hooked on Ben Folds' live shows because he is enthusiastic and energetic every single time. This was no exception. After seeing a solo show a few years back, and then a show with the Portland Symphony last year, this one fell somewhere in between as far as presentation, and was the best of all of those good shows. He played the entire night with the two musicians from Tall Heights (cello and guitar, his opening act) and also a drummer, bassist, and harmonica player. It was more like the Ben Folds Five days, but more polished. Lots from the new album, many of the classics, one improvisational song . . . still a master of piano, still hitting all the high notes, still tearing the place down. Great show.

This is my 7th time seeing Ben Folds (or Ben Folds Five) over the past 25 years and he is truly my favorite musician. Overall, his most mellow show - maybe he's showing some age and maturity? Music was good as always - his band was very good, but didn't add much. The harmonica player had some nice moments and the Tall Heights band added some nice harmonies, but over all it felt just a little off from his normal energy. I will forever and always see him when he comes to town, but this felt a little off.

Boring AF and the people there were super grumpy. Won't go see him again. Venue is fantastic, and the staff were awesome.

I have long loved Ben Folds. He is a great musician and songwriter and I love his sense of humor. Tall Heights were.an interesting opening act and provided a perfect backup band for his show as well. We thoroughly enjoyed the show.

Eight songs from new album? Most would hate that, but I have the album, it’s fantastic, so I loved it. Great band too. Just do NOT park on street, some homie broke into car, $450 for new glass.

Tall Heights was an excellent opening act and perfect for his band. Harmonies, cello, varied guitar sounds... all splendid Ben was witty and brilliant as ever!! Awesome sound. What Matters Most was the theme of the entire evening. Loved it! Best show of 2023.

Ben Folds was hilarious and brilliant as usual. His back up band was incredible. He played his new album, which had some good songs and he hit some old solo stuff. No Ben Folds Five songs were played, which was a bummer. However, he has such great solo stuff that it was still a fantastic show.

Hearing Ben Folds on the radio in the mid-90's can only mean one thing... You are old like me! Seeing Ben live has been on my bucket list for 25. A great show by a great artist.

The opening guys (Tall Heights) were so wonderful and then the way they meshed with Ben throughout the night, along with the rest of the musicians-it was truly one of the best shows I’ve been to in a while. It was a complete 180 than the vibe Ben put on in Dubuque earlier this year. That was just him on the piano, which is always a fantastic time, just different than the Cedar Rapids show. Definitely a fun evening with some extremely talented individuals all working together and having a good time. :) supposed to be outside. I was miffed when they moved it indoors but the weather forecast was stormy and it was hot and humid so the air conditioning was nice. Plus, we were so close to Ben! ;)

I have been a Ben Folds fan for decades now...the addition of Tall Heights as the backup band, along with the audience participation made for a well-crafted performance. Ben seems to always know when to balance a soulful ballad off against a rocking rant. Loved it!

I didn't know too much about Ben's program and I originally thought it would be with the orchestra but ended up being him solo, so things happen. I would have preferred the larger ensemble. He is VERY talented in writing and playing the piano, but I would have enjoyed less profanity and a little less talking, more music. We had a long interruption due to a failure in a part of the piano but the techs worked it out while we had an extra beverage. Again, things happen I'll look forward to seeing him again but with the orchestra. The facility is wonderful and I appreciate the efforts in keeping it up to the level it is.

I’ve seen Ben Folds twice now and he never disappoints. Loved seeing him at the Rose, it’s one of my favorite venues to watch live music.

Loved the show, venue was clean, staff was nice and helpful in finding seating. Ben Folds, again, was fabulous.

Opening band was great ! They performed 1 song that they called unplugged. So no microphone or plugged in instruments. This song and other song that they performed during the Ben Folds set couldn't be heard (I was in the last row if the lower level by the sound booth). Then while playing music from his new album he had a full band and that was fine for his new music. However when playing his older songs they played as well drowning out any a lot of the sound that has made me a fan. Moving forward I will only see Ben Folds if I know he will be the main act in his own show.

Unfortunately not being fans of Taller Heights music may have spoiled the opening for us. We appreciate their musicianship, but their songs go nowhere. Mindless rambling and mostly boring. We’ve seen Ben 4 other times and have always left wanting more, but tonight was off. Someone blew the sound check. Bass was too heavy and distorted and there was feedback throughout the entire show. Totally disappointed because Stiefel has the best acoustics in STl. Ben totally missed an opportunity to wow us.

Loved Ben Folds in concert. The venue has great sound and high def tvs everywhere that it is needed. BUT the back few rows under the center balcony were VERY hard to see anyone on stage. I had to either just watch the tv or stand in back. FYI! Perhaps some sort of risers could be made?

An evening with Ben Folds is like having a conversation with a great, old friend. A friend who has shared all your highs and lows throughout life. You think about times of growing up, your family and friends. But most importantly, you listen to some really good music. The band was amazing, Ben sounds supreme, and the venue has great acoustics. Couldn't have been a better night 😊

It was nice they moved us closer, but seats were reallyclise together.

Amazing but the band and ben sat too far back on the stage
