I attended the Makaya McCraven event and it was wonderful! The audio was perfect. The ushers were very helpful and kind except for one female usher who, in a very snarky manner, called my friend "des… Full review by The_Indy_Traveler

Hello Wandering / St. Louis . . . Cabs are easy to get in front of Symphony Center, usually waiting for customers. There are also busses on Michigan Ave, the #3-King Drive, #4-Cottage Grove, going both North & South. State street is but 2 modest blocks west of Michigan Ave, and there are many busses on State, The Broadway #36, and more. The Red Line subway runs beneath State street, exit either the Monroe or Jackson stop, walk the two blocks east. There are also good hotels within an easy walk to Symphony Center. Purchase a Ventra card at any elevated or subway stop, and most Currency Exchanges. The card saves when making transfers. CTA route maps are available at any elevated /subway stop, just ask personnel on duty. BEST SEATS: Highly recommend getting the highest balcony, although steep, lowest price, best sound and view. Access via 6th floor, ushers are very helpful. Enjoy the concert.
