Ben Folds Tickets

Ben Folds is always a good show and I love concerts at State Theatre. I really appreciate that one man and a piano can be such a great concert experience and I love the easy drive and parking options for a Saturday night show.

I love him. He’s so talented! It took me back to the 90’s and his newer stuff is fantastic too!!!!!

Ben Folds is at the same time a down to earth guy and stratospherically talented and among the best singer/songwriter/musicians (Piano) of my generation. The simplicity of "hanging out"with Ben, his piano (and a glass of tequila), and paper airplanes was all that was required for a performance of a lifetime. If you want to experience this world class musical talent in an intimate way, you must go see him on this tour. Mr. Folds, if you ever read this. THANK YOU!

the venue was not ideal. cramped. hot. claustrophobic. no seating. the opening act was too campy. we did not enjoy her. the acoustics were good. the show was average at best.

Ben Folds is an incredible entertainer. His piano chops are off the charts great! The venue was general admission which was fine. But there were no seats at all it was difficult to see anything with the crowd blocking most sight lines. One of our party had a recent leg surgery and no chairs were available anywhere. Sitting on the floor against the side wall was only way to relieve discomfort for 90 minutes of standing and not being able to see anything for her. The venue should explain what General Admission means. Our expectations were rows of folding chairs and you select an available seat.

My favorite concert of my life so far. I think this sums it up but they want more characters.

Love this guy! He loves an audience, for sure. I got a kick out of the way he plays piano up to the last 10 seconds or so of a tune, and he's up and ready to move on to the next action: talking with the audience or picking up another paper airplane request. Glad I got to see him live!

What an incredible show! Ben never fails to entertain. A wonderful mix from his entire discography, plus some amazing improv songs! And the paper airplane format was brilliant.

The venue was just reopening and there were problems. He handled it like a champ! I love the premise of this tour. And although after 2+ hours, there were still so many songs we could hear, there were many “oldies” that were new to me. Such poignant topics dealt with humor and kindness. His talent on the keys and with lyrics is boundless.

Ben Folds was fantastic. He is an amazing musician and was very entertaining. Love it!

This isn't the first time I've seen Ben Folds perform. My first was several years ago when he was touring with an orchestra and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I wouldn't consider myself a die hard Ben Folds fan. Sure, there are certainly songs that I like and I find his type of music appealing. What really sets his live performances apart from most is his interaction with the audience. You get the genuine love it or leave it personality of a normal human being. Your not watching some pretentious rock god or diva that's so caught up in themselves that they either have to maintain a carefully curated façade or are too good to talk with the common folk. His ability to make you feel like you're part of his gang just hanging out with him is outstanding. He's also quite possibly the best at improvising songs and lyrics that I've ever seen. I was a little leery that I wouldn't enjoy this show as much since it didn't include the orchestra, but I took a chance and purchased tickets for myself and my lady friend and I'm certainly glad I did. I will not ever miss a chance to see him live should he visit the city I live in.

Great performance and energy, hasn't lost a beat since I first saw him two decades ago. After the opening act Ben played a short set of about 45 minutes. There was an intermission wherein we were able to write a request on an airplane and after intermission there was a countdown and everyone threw their planes at once. He played eleven songs from the requests, only referencing his giant book of songs on one song (incredible to have almost his entire catalog mastered like that). A couple of the songs were improved based upon requests from audience members that just consisted of "sing a song about...". In all I very much enjoyed it, as did my wife, and I would absolutely go see him the next time he is in town.

My wife is the Ben Folds fan out of the two of us, but I have never left one of his shows without being impressed and entertained. This show was no exception. His talent for writing, singing and playing piano are evident with every song. His wit and personality fill the space between songs with engaging short stories, making for a great night. The Wind Creek Event Center leaves something to be desired with the flat gymnasium-like feel, but it still sounded good to someone like myself who isn’t that much of an audio snob. The big TV displays make up for much of what the flat seating lacks. The folding chairs definitely were squashed together and not comfortable though.

What an outstanding show! Not only did Ben perform all kinds of songs, both old and new, he was very engaging with the audience and made sure to take the time and describe where he got the inspiration for a lot of the songs. Hearing this and then playing the song right after gave them a whole new level of meaning and appreciation. Plus he did this all while recovering from bronchitis! Very glad I got to attend this event, and I would definitely do so again in the future. Highly recommended.

Phenomenal show! Ben is an amazing pianist, lyricist, storyteller and showman. Even with bronchitis, he wowed the crowd as he pushed through with honesty and humility. Ben's personal stories about several of the songs brought us in deeper to the lyrics. And Ben invited us to join him, singing along several times. I sat in Row 7 with so much gratitude! The only drawback, the folding chairs were a bit uncomfortable.

Great, intimate venue. Friendly staff. Good acoustics, comfy seats, cup holders.

Had a blast- Ben is always great. He was game as ever despite the fact that he wasn’t feeling too great. He puts on a great show!

Ben Folds was recovering from bronchitis, but you would barely notice! He gave a great performance, was engaging and entertaining the crowd as always. Ben Folds is someone I always try to catch when he comes around and I can't wait until the next time!

I was fortunate enough to see Ben Folds at The Wiltern in August. Was Super Stoked to see him in my hometown of Houston. Same tour, two completely different experiences (both great). I was mesmerized. Buying a seat in the 3rd row was the best decision, I could FEEL the music. Thanks for the memories.

Small venue, parking was extremely close and a breeze to navigate, the staff is super friendly and the amenities are great. Bathrooms were no problem as a guy, can't know the ladies' perspective, but there wasn't a crowded space anywhere in the building. There's a bar downstairs that has a small menu. I had the quesadilla, it's pretty much what you'd expect from a bar that serves a little food on the side but at $14 they weren't trying to kill you about it. Lots of room to hang out downstairs with a pool table and big puffy chairs and couches and such. We played checkers with a chess board at our table.
