Coors Amphitheatheatre Fiddlers Green

TERRIBLE service. Disappointed in Aramark, 45 minute line to get a beer, not worth the money!

No idea what my fellow reviewers are so disappointed with.  I think Fiddlers Green is great!  The sunset views are phenomenal and I really enjoy the lawn seating, even if it is sometimes difficult to come by if you come in late.  I thought the bouncers were actually quite reasonable and friendly, which I do not always think.  I also don't understand complaining about the prices.  They seem about right for the performances I have seen, and I've never gotten anything less than what I consider to be a great show in a beautiful venue.  It is kind of a pain to get to because it is outside the downtown Denver vicinity, but so is Red Rocks.

Fiddlers definitely does not even compare to Red Rocks, so let's not even start that discussion. It sports a decent view and if you live or work in the DTC (like me) it is pretty convenient. Parking is a total nightmare but the Arapahoe Light Rail station is probably a 5 minute walk from the venue, so that's definitely a bonus. There aren't really any great places to grab a drink closeby and tailgating is not really an option either.
Though it's not advertised, Fiddlers does allow you to bring in up to "one gallon" of food. Whatever that is. But there was a family chowing on Jimmy John's right next to me. So no huge pizzas, but sandwiches are ok apparently. I brought in a sealed water and they did not make me remove the top.
Prices for drinks are completely ridiculous. Coors will set you back $11 and any upgrade from there is $12 - $13. Mike's Hard was $9 and a bottle of beer that they peddle on the lawn is also $9. Not sure about the wine but for 4 beers and 2 tiny pours of wine, it was $65.
If a show is not sold out, you can upgrade to actual seats on the day of through guest services which is in a Tuff Shed- which I never did see so it must be by the main entrance. Upgrades are either $10 or $20 day of the show.
We sat at the very top of the lawn which was nice because it doesn't slope and you can stand because no one is behind you. You definitely can't see much but if you're sitting at the top of Red Rocks, you can't see much from there either!
Despite its many flaws, it is still nice to enjoy a concert outdoors on a summer night in Colorado.
