About Verti Music Hall
Verti Music Hall (now called the Uber Eats Music Hall) is a mid-size concert venue on Berlin’s buzzing East Side, part of the Mercedes-Platz (now Uber Platz) entertainment district (goout.net ) (aegworldwide.com ). Opened in October 2018 with a sold-out Jack White concert (aegworldwide.com ), it was built by AEG to fill the gap between small clubs and large arenas. The hall holds up to about 4,350 people for standing shows (around 2,250 when fully seated) (aegworldwide.com ) (www.tripadvisor.com.au ). Signature features include a flexible floor plan and retractable grandstands, giving nightclub intimacy and arena capacity under one roof (goout.net ) (www.meetingsbooker.com ).
The interior was crafted with an urban-industrial style. Swiss firm StudioForma designed public areas in warm earth tones with leather furniture and stone accents (www.world-architects.com ). A dramatic staircase with custom metal railing serves as a centerpiece. Ambient lighting and décor give a loft-like vibe, contrasting the bare-brick and metal look of many Berlin venues (www.world-architects.com ). There is a VIP lounge, outdoor terrace and a dedicated artists’ floor, reflecting the “industrial-chic” concept of the hall. In short, Verti blends a club atmosphere with venue-level amenities, aiming to deliver “new standards” for halls of this size (aegworldwide.com ) (goout.net ).
Verti Music Hall anchors the Mercedes Platz entertainment quarter, a €200-million urban development by AEG on the former railroad yards by the East Side Gallery. This project also added a 1,700-seat UCI Luxe cinema, bowling alley, and 20+ restaurants and bars (aegworldwide.com ). AEG expected Mercedes Platz to become “the vibrant centre” of a growing neighborhood with some 20 million visitors per year (aegworldwide.com ). Indeed, the U-Bahn, S-Bahn and tram lines here make Mercedes-Platz one of Friedrichshain’s busiest nodes. Verti expands Berlin’s cultural infrastructure: it’s the city’s newest major hall (2018) and a key venue for touring acts, filling a void between intimate clubs and massive arenas.
Events and Programming
Verti is a true multipurpose hall and the stage for a wide range of events. Music dominates – from rock and pop to indie, hip-hop, electronic and more. Acts have ranged from international stars like Jack White (its opening act) to local and genre-hit artists. It’s not unusual to see major touring bands (e.g. Jethro Tull or George Ezra) as well as emerging indie acts. TripAdvisor notes the venue hosts “pop to rock, musical, Schlager, classical music or hip hop – it’s a place for everyone” (www.tripadvisor.com.au ). Over 100 shows a year are booked, including concerts, club nights and live DJ sets (goout.net ).
In addition to concerts, Verti Music Hall regularly hosts comedy shows, family-friendly events, corporate presentations and even sports or e-sports showcases. The flexible hall can be reconfigured for theatre-style seating or standing-room gatherings. For example, during the Berlinale film festival in 2025 it was used for film events and screenings (www.tripadvisor.com.au ). There are also seasonal happenings (the venue sometimes partners with festivals or special series), and year-round corporate events: it was designed for “music, shows and corporate and presentation events” alike (goout.net ). On marquee dates the calendar quickly fills, so ticket demand can be high for big-name shows.
Tickets and Booking
Tickets for Verti Music Hall shows should be purchased through official channels well in advance. Large events often go on sale several months before the date, and sell out fast. Pricing varies by event: general admission standing tickets might start around €30–€40, while reserved seating (balcony or VIP) can range up to €75–€100 or more for top-tier shows. There is a mix of reserved seats (in grandstands and side balconies) and standing-floor tickets on the main hall floor. For big concerts, expect tiered pricing with cheaper balcony seats and premium front-floor or VIP sections. Some events may also offer presales for fan clubs or credit-card holders.
The venue no longer has its own public box office, so tickets are generally sold through approved ticket sellers. If a show isn’t sold out, very limited tickets may be sold at the door on event night – but this is risky. Always buy through a trusted outlet or the official event organizer to avoid inflated resale prices. Keep an eye on the venue’s website or mailing list for announcements on sale dates and presales. When planning to attend, check whether your ticket needs to be printed or if mobile entry is accepted.
Seating and Layout
Verti Music Hall’s main auditorium is a tall, rectangular space (~1,500 m² floor area, 16.8 m high (www.meetingsbooker.com )). The stage sits at one end of the long hall. In front of the stage is a flat general-admission area (no seats) for standing or dancing audiences. Raising up from the rear floor are telescopic grandstands and a balcony that provide up to ~2,414 fixed seats when fully extended (www.meetingsbooker.com ). A special “roller stage” system allows the central stage platform to move or reconfigure on demand (www.meetingsbooker.com ), making it easy to change stage size or position between shows. In effect, the venue can alternate between a stadium-style setup and a more intimate theatre or banquet layout.
Best views depend on show format. For concerts, many fans prefer the flat floor immediately in front of the stage (standing-room) or the front rows of the main lower grandstand. These give clear, close-up sightlines. If you want a seat, front-center rows in any tiered section are great. The side balconies also offer good acoustics and a panoramic perspective of the stage. Areas to avoid might be the far back of the highest balcony (obstructed by distance) or the extreme sides of the stage where view angles are limited. Overall, sound coverage is designed to be uniformly loud; some attendees report excellent acoustics and visuals in most sections, though a few have noted that sound can be too loud on the crowded dance floor (www.tripadvisor.com.au ) (www.tripadvisor.com.au ).
Getting There and Parking
Address: Mercedes-Platz 2, 10243 Berlin (Friedrichshain) (www.trip.com ). The venue is easily found at “Uber Platz” (formerly Mercedes Platz), adjacent to the Mercedes-Benz Arena (Uber Arena).U-Bahn & S-Bahn: The nearest station is Warschauer Straße (U-Bahn lines U1 and U3, and S-Bahn S3/S5/S7/S9) (tmp23.sticks-and-stones.com ). From the station it’s about a 5-minute walk via Warschauer Brücke to the venue (tmp23.sticks-and-stones.com ). The Ostbahnhof (East Station) is another option (about 10–12 minutes’ walk), served by the same S-Bahn lines plus regional trains (tmp23.sticks-and-stones.com ). In summary: Warschauer Str]· U1/U3, S3/5/7/9, Buses 248/347/N1, Trams M10/M13 ([tmp23.sticks-and-stones.com ); Ostbahnhof]· S3/5/7/9, Buses 140/248/347/N40 (and long-distance trains) ([tmp23.sticks-and-stones.com ).Buses & Tram: Several bus routes stop very close to Mercedes Platz, including lines 140, 240, 248, 300, 347 and night buses N1/N60 (moovitapp.com ) (tmp23.sticks-and-stones.com ). The M10 and M13 trams also run along Warschauer Straße right nearby (tmp23.sticks-and-stones.com ). Night service: on weekends the U-Bahn and S-Bahn run 24h, and night buses cover the area late evening (tmp23.sticks-and-stones.com ).On Foot: If you are walking from other parts of Friedrichshain, the venue is just off Warschauer Straße (not to be confused with Berlin’s main train station). Coming from the famous East Side Gallery or Schlesisches Tor, you can walk along the riverfront and cross the Oberbaumbrücke towards Mercedes Platz.Parking: Street parking near busy concert venues is very limited. There are nearby paid garages: e.g. the Uber Arena underground car park (Plaza) and “Plaza” parking garage (same complex) offer parking (including disabled spaces) for a fee (www.uber-eats-music-hall.de ). Note height restrictions (~2.0–2.05 m clearance) in those garages (www.uber-eats-music-hall.de ). For more spots, consider Park-&-Ride: large garages at Alexanderplatz or Ostkreuz (with 600+ spaces each) allow you to park and take a short S-Bahn ride to Warschauerstraße (tmp23.sticks-and-stones.com ) (tmp23.sticks-and-stones.com ). For example, the Q-Park at Alexanderplatz (655 spaces) connects via S5/S7 direct to Ostbahnhof in ~17 minutes (tmp23.sticks-and-stones.com ), while the Victoria Center at Ostkreuz (595 spaces) is ~9 minutes by train to Warschauerplatz (tmp23.sticks-and-stones.com ). Plan extra time for convergence traffic and arrive early if driving.Drop-off/Rideshare: Taxis and rideshares can conveniently drop off in front of the Uber Eats Music Hall on Mercedes Platz. (Pick-up after events may require walking to the side streets due to one-way traffic restrictions.)Bike: Cyclists will find ample bike racks around Mercedes Platz – especially in the plaza fronting the Arena – and the venue is easily reached on two wheels via Mühlenstraße or Warschauer Straße (tmp23.sticks-and-stones.com ). As in much of Berlin, be mindful of bike lanes and park only in designated racks.
Inside the Venue
Verti Music Hall is an entirely indoor, climate-controlled hall. On event days you will enter via the main entrance on Mercedes Platz (Uber Platz). Security screening (bag check and metal detector) is routine – arrive at least 45–60 minutes before showtime to clear the guards smoothly. A cloakroom (coat check) is available near the foyer, though busy nights can see long lines (one visitor advised arriving extra early in winter to handle the jacket line (www.tripadvisor.com.au )).
Once inside the auditorium, you’ll note the high, open ceiling and tiered seating. General admission ticketholders stand on the flat floor area near the stage. There are flush bar stations along the sides and back of the floor, offering beer, wine and soft drinks (Berlin’s usual policy applies: drinks must be bought inside rather than brought in). Tiered seating sections have their own nearby bars or kiosks on the concourse.
The hall has modern amenities: multiple restrooms (upstairs and downstairs), coat hooks, and large screens for closer viewing at the rear. Look for first-aid and info points if needed. Most events have merchandise tables lining the side corridors or lobby – if your act sells shirts or discs, these are usually available. (If attending alone, keep your phone wedged in your pocket, as you’ll likely be standing or dancing.) Note that professional cameras or video recorders are typically not allowed, and check the event’s age policy if bringing minors. The dress code is casual (jeans and comfy shoes are common) – many people also layer up for winter shows.
One of Verti’s selling points is its production quality. Audiences often praise the state-of-the-art lighting and sound. In fact, the hall boasts a “modern Ambiente Light System” to create vivid stage looks (www.meetingsbooker.com ). Some patrons have reported crystal-clear audio and visual extravaganza from almost every angle (www.tripadvisor.com.au ). (As with any arena concert, it may get very loud on the floor – bring earplugs or wear ear protection if you’re sensitive). In short, you can expect a professional concert experience: excellent sightlines from most vantage points, firmly built seating, and a clean, well-staffed facility. If at any point you need accessible seating or assistance, the on-site staff can help (see below for more on accessibility).
Nearby Amenities
The Verti Music Hall sits in an entertainment hotspot, so there is no shortage of places to eat, drink and stay near by. Right on Mercedes Platz itself (as of 2024 renamed Uber Platz) is the East Side Mall complex: here you’ll find casual chains and themed restaurants such as Tony Roma’s (ribs and American fare), Vapiano (Italian), MISMA (sushi), and a large cinema with cafes (aegworldwide.com ). Upstairs sports bars and cafes cater to Arena and Verti crowds. In warm weather, people spill onto the plaza benches.
A short walk east along Warschauer Straße leads to Friedrichshain’s nightlife core. On this street and the parallel Simon-Dach-Straße are dozens of bars, pubs and restaurants (everything from currywurst stands and kebab shops to craft-beer pubs and cocktail bars). For example, Tripadvisor’s top picks include the Asian-fusion Maison Umami and the West-African-inspired Bantabaa – both highly rated and within a few blocks (www.tripadvisor.com ) (www.tripadvisor.com ). Most fans enjoy a pre-show meal or post-show drinks around here.
If you prefer to stay overnight, there are hotels and hostels in every direction. Right at Mercedes Platz are two on-site hotels: the 118-room INNSIDE by Meliá (Indigo Design Hotel) and the 254-room Hampton by Hilton Berlin City East Side Gallery (aegworldwide.com ). Other nearby options (1 km or less away) include Motel One East Side, the nhow Berlin, Boutiquehotel Viv, and budget hostels near Warschauer Station. For convenient lodging, Hampton by Hilton is literally adjacent (www.tripadvisor.ie ), meaning just a two-minute walk to Verti Music Hall.
When to arrive: Plan to get there at least 30–45 minutes before showtime. Lines for security, bar, and coat-check tend to be busiest in the 30 minutes before doors (especially in cold weather). British tip: wrap up warm on the approach – one review joked that both guests and crew showed up in coats without warning (www.tripadvisor.com.au ). If you’re hungry, you can grab a quick bite at the nearby plaza restaurants or even find a cafe right inside the Mercedes Platz complex.
What Makes This Venue Special
Verti Music Hall stands out as Berlin’s newest purpose-built mid-size arena, filling a niche between underground clubs and stadiums. Its modern design and high-end production infrastructure make it a favorite for both audiences and promoters. Industry press notes that Verti “will set new standards for event venues of comparable size” (aegworldwide.com ). The wide, open interior accommodates spectacular light shows and sound systems on par with much larger halls, yet it still feels more intimate.
Architecturally, the venue is unique in Berlin: an industrial loft concept with warm finishes. Leather couches and wood-paneled walls in the foyer feel unlike a typical concrete arena foyer. The massive stairway and club-style lounges give a boutique vibe. Reporters and designers have praised the venue’s decor and layout (www.world-architects.com ). Behind the scenes, engineering features like a roller-stage platform and moving grandstands allow rapid changeovers – a cutting-edge feature not found in many older halls.
Its location also adds charm. Being right by the authentic East Side Gallery (a 1.3km open-air art gallery on the old Wall) lends a historic and creative aura. Fans arriving often take a moment to visit the Sprengelkacija portion of the Berlin Wall or walk across the nearby Oberbaum Bridge (an iconic red-brick viaduct). As one guide notes, after a long show Berliners love relaxing “sitting by the Spree River at the East Side Gallery, watching the sun rise over the beautiful Oberbaum Bridge” (www.tripadvisor.com ). In this way, a concert night at Verti often feels like part of a larger Berlin experience: good music followed by a Stoppف at a local bar or a riverside stroll.
AEG’s investment in Mercedes Platz (now Uber Platz) has also lifted the whole area. New cafes, restaurants and pedestrian plazas have sprung up around the hall, boosting local business. With expected footfall into the tens of millions (aegworldwide.com ), the venue drives considerable economic activity. Culturally, it has put Friedrichshain firmly on the international tour map – bands that might have once skipped Berlin as too small will now consider Verti. In short, Verti Music Hall’s blend of homegrown club energy and world-class event production, plus its East Berlin atmosphere, make it a standout destination in the city’s rich live-music scene.
Visitor Tips and Information
Accessibility: The Uber Eats Music Hall is fully wheelchair accessible (www.uber-eats-music-hall.de ). A designated entrance (the “Fast Lane” door on the left side) has level access and elevators up to all levels (www.uber-eats-music-hall.de ). There is wheelchair seating and companion seating available by request. If you have mobility needs, note that disabled parking is available in nearby garages (Plaza and Arena) (www.uber-eats-music-hall.de ). For large vehicles, roof height over 2.0 m may not clear, so contact the venue in advance if in doubt (www.uber-eats-music-hall.de ). Arrangements such as a guest assistant can usually be made by emailing AEG Berlin’s guest service (address on the official site).
What to Bring: Carry your printed or mobile ticket. Bring ID if you plan to drink alcohol – bartenders may ask. Small bags or backpacks are allowed but will be searched; large suitcases or instruments are not. Cameras: modern mobile phone cameras are fine, but professional DSLR cameras or video cameras are typically prohibited. Expect a security screening (no food, large liquids, or sharp objects). Swapping to cashless payment can save time at bars, but most vendors take both cash (euros) and cards.
Eat/Drink: There are no free food vendors inside, so eat beforehand or grab quick items inside if available (snacks/soft drinks). Alcohol is sold in the lobby/bars – note German public-drinking laws (don’t bring your own booze). Non-alcoholic beverages and decent sandwiches or pretzels are usually on offer. After the show, waterside beer gardens (like near the Oberbaumbrücke) stay open late in summer, and many bars on Warschauer Straße serve food until midnight.
Arrival and Patience: As one frequent concert-goer warned, the cloakroom and entry can get chaotic, especially on sold-out stands or winter shows (www.tripadvisor.com.au ). Allow extra time if you need to check coats or use the restroom before the concert. Doors often open 30–60 minutes pre-show, but during peak traffic this may be delayed. Always check the exact door time printed on your ticket. Expect friendly, if sometimes busy, staff – just like other big Berlin venues, patience and politeness go a long way.
Name Confusion: Note that in March 2024 the hall’s name officially changed to Uber Eats Music Hall (as part of a naming deal) (aegworldwide.com ). News articles and signage may use either name. It’s exactly the same venue – just owned by AEG, with Uber as naming sponsor. So if you see both names online, don’t worry: tickets and transit listings will be referring to the same place.
Weather: Since it’s fully indoors, outdoor weather won’t affect the show. However, Mercedes Platz is open-air between buildings, so if you’re waiting outside or smoking, come prepared for rain or cold. Berlin evenings can be chilly even in summer – bring a light jacket or sweater.
Age Restrictions: Many gigs have a minimum age (commonly 6, 12 or 16+) or requirements like adult accompaniment. Check the specific event’s rules. In general, families with teens attend pop/rock shows, while some late-night club events may be 18+ only. ID may be checked at entry.
Etiquette: Verti has a lively yet laid-back Berlin vibe. Most shows allow standing and dancing on the floor. Feel free to dance in your spot, but be mindful of others’ space. Use trash bins (Berlin prides itself on cleanliness). Queue in an orderly line if re-entering. Enjoy the international crowd, but English, German or even a little Russian can help communicate.
Connectivity: There is no guaranteed public Wi-Fi; mobile data coverage is usually strong inside. If you need internet, T-Mobile and Vodafone signals reach into the hall. There are no room charges mentioned for power outlets or phone chargers, so plan to go without for a few hours.
Following these tips will help you focus on the music and moment. With its blend of convenience, modern amenities and Berlin character, a visit to Verti Music Hall should be a highlight of any trip to the city’s live-music scene.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the seating capacity of Verti Music Hall?
Verti Music Hall holds up to about 4,350 people standing during concerts. If fully configured as a seated venue (using all retractable grandstands), it accommodates roughly 2,250 to 2,414 patrons (www.tripadvisor.com.au ) (www.meetingsbooker.com ). The hall’s flexible design means capacity changes with the setup: general-admission shows pack in more people than fully seated events.
How do I buy tickets for events at Verti Music Hall?
Tickets are usually sold online through authorized sellers or the event’s organizers. There is no permanent box office at Verti, so check the official venue/event website for purchase links. For popular shows, tickets often sell out in advance. If the show isn’t sold out, a small number of tickets may be available at the door on the night of the event. Always buy through official channels to avoid expensive scalpers.
Are there multiple price tiers for tickets?
Yes. Verti Music Hall has different zones: general admission floor (standing room) and tiered seating. Typically, floor tickets are less expensive, while seats closer to the stage (front balcony or VIP areas) cost more. Prices depend on the artist/promoter, but expect a range roughly from €30 for basic GA up to €75–€100 for premium seats. Always check the price category when selecting your ticket.
What are the transport options to get to Verti Music Hall?
Verti Music Hall is very well connected. Take the U-Bahn lines U1 or U3 to Warschauer Straße station, then walk ~5 minutes to Mercedes Platz (tmp23.sticks-and-stones.com ). You can also use S-Bahn lines S3/S5/S7/S9 to Warschauer Straße (same walk) or to Ostbahnhof (about a 10-minute walk) (tmp23.sticks-and-stones.com ). Several buses serve the area (e.g. 140, 240, 248, 300, 347, night lines N1/N60) (moovitapp.com ) (tmp23.sticks-and-stones.com ), and trams M10/M13 run along Warschauer. In general, the easiest route is via Warschauer Straße.
Is there parking available at Mercedes Platz?
On-site parking is limited. The nearby Uber Arena (Mercedes Platz) has an underground garage (“Plaza”) and another garage (“Arena”) with paid parking, including disabled spots (www.uber-eats-music-hall.de ). Gardens often fill up quickly on event nights. Many visitors instead use Park-&-Ride: large garages at Alexanderplatz or Ostkreuz (with 600+ spaces each) are good options, as you can then take a 10–20 minute S-Bahn ride to Warschauer Straße (tmp23.sticks-and-stones.com ) (tmp23.sticks-and-stones.com ). If you do park nearby, allow extra time to walk or take a tram/bus from the lot to the hall.
Can I easily walk from Warschauer Straße station?
Yes. Warschauer Straße (U1/U3 subway and S3/S5/S7/S9 trains) is only about a 5-minute walk away (tmp23.sticks-and-stones.com ). Exit the station towards the Oberbaumbrücke direction, cross the bridge over the Spree River, then follow signs to Mercedes Platz. The whole walk from station to Verti’s entrance is flat and well-signed.
What is the seating layout inside Verti Music Hall?
Inside, the hall has a large open floor room and telescoping stands. The stage is at one end; the entire floor in front of it is general-admission standing area. Behind the floor, there are several tiers of retractable seating plus a balcony. When fully set up, the venue offers about 2,250–2,414 fixed seats (www.meetingsbooker.com ). The setup can be changed: the floor can be cleared for standing gigs or partially converted to seated rows. A roller-stage technology allows quick stage changes. This flexibility means each show’s seating chart might differ.
Which areas have the best views?
For concerts, many fans prefer to be on the standing floor near the front or in front-center of the fixed seats. These sections give unobstructed, close-up views. If seated, try to be in the center rows of any balcony or grandstand — closer is generally better. Overside seating can be slightly angled, so center sections are optimal. Rear balcony seats still provide a full view but are farther from the stage. Overall, Verti’s design avoids pillars, so sightlines are quite good. As always, front-and-center seats or standing spots deliver the most immersive experience.
What are the venue’s policy on bags, cameras, and food?
Like most concert halls, Verti requires security screening. Large backpacks or suitcases are not allowed; small purses and camera bags are okay but will be checked. Photography with phones is allowed for personal use, but professional cameras or recording equipment are forbidden. Outside food/drink is generally not permitted. (Bottled water and snacks are sold at concession stands inside.) Follow standard arena rules: no weapons or hazardous items, and any forbidden item will be held at the entrance if possible. Check the specific event page for any special rules, but expect polite bag checks on entry.
Are there age restrictions for entry?
Age rules depend on the event organizer. Many concerts allow children if accompanied by an adult, sometimes with a minimum age (e.g. 6 or 12+) posted on the ticket. However, some late-night club or comedy events might require attendees to be 16 or 18+. Usually this is noted in the event details. If minors are allowed, they must have a ticket just like adults. Always check the age policy when you buy tickets. Bartenders will ID anyone appearing under ~18 before serving alcohol.
Is Verti Music Hall wheelchair accessible?
Yes. The venue is designed to be fully accessible (www.uber-eats-music-hall.de ). There are wheelchair-accessible entrances, elevators up to all levels, and designated seating areas for guests with mobility needs. For example, a “Fast Lane” entry door leads directly to elevators (www.uber-eats-music-hall.de ). Accessible parking spaces are marked in the nearby garages (www.uber-eats-music-hall.de ). The staff can provide assistance if requested. If you need accommodations, it’s a good idea to email the ticket office or guest services in advance so they can reserve appropriate seats.
What is the dress code at the venue?
There is no formal dress code. Concertgoers usually wear casual, comfortable clothing (jeans, t-shirts, hoodies). Layer up if needed because some concerts crank up cooling or heating. If you plan to dance on the floor, sturdy shoes are wise. Warmer clothing is recommended in winter, as one review found people tended to arrive wearing coats for cold-weather shows (www.tripadvisor.com.au ). For VIP areas or business events, smart-casual is appropriate. Bottom line: dress for comfort and the outdoors (cafe/metro) as well as the show.
Can I buy food or drinks inside the hall?
Yes. There are concession stands and bars inside. The main floor level has several bar stations for beer, wine and soft drinks. Seated areas have kiosks nearby on each concourse. If the hall is used for something like a gala, there may be served food. For regular concerts, snacks (pretzels, chips) and bottled drinks are sold. Outside food is not allowed, so plan to eat beforehand or grab something at one of the many Plaza restaurants. Note: bars get busy, so either arrive early or enjoy a drink in the outdoor beer garden before the show.
Is there a coat check or lockers?
Yes, Verti Music Hall provides a cloakroom (coat check) indoors where you can leave jackets or small bags for a few euros. It’s located in the foyer near the auditorium entrance. Hitch: on busy cold evenings the cloakroom can have long queues (www.tripadvisor.com.au ). Lockers are not provided, but your ticket or purchase slip is given as a claim check. If you arrive early, use cloakroom before the show to avoid the rush between support acts.
Can I take pictures or record video during the show?
Typically, casual photos with your phone or small camera are allowed, but flash photography is usually discouraged (as it can bother performers). Video recording, professional cameras or anything with removable lenses is generally prohibited at concerts. The rule is the same as most arenas: if the artist or promoter says “no photos,” that policy will be enforced at the door. Always check the specific event policy. For major concerts, they usually emphasize recording is not allowed.
What if I arrive late, can I still get in?
Latecomers can often enter after the feature act begins, but policies vary by promoter. It’s safest to arrive before doors close (typically 10–15 minutes after start time). Note there is no dress code beyond no disruptive items, but security will stop entry if you’re very late or if the hall is sold out. If late arrival is a concern (e.g. after work), try to communicate with staff – sometimes they may admit you at a side door during applause. For best experience, arrive in time to find your seat and hear the opening act.
Has the venue’s name changed from Verti Music Hall?
Yes. In March 2024, the naming rights were sold to Uber, and the official name became Uber Eats Music Hall (aegworldwide.com ). This was part of a large AEG-Uber partnership. However, many locals and older websites still call it Verti Music Hall. It’s the same building – just a new sponsor name. You may see both names on tickets or maps, but they refer to the same concert hall at Mercedes Platz.
Is Verti Music Hall wheelchair friendly?
Absolutely. The venue was built with accessibility in mind (www.uber-eats-music-hall.de ). There are ramps and a special left-side entrance that leads directly to elevators. The auditorium has spaces reserved for wheelchairs and their companions. Accessible restrooms are available on-site. If you require assistance, or have any concerns (like if your vehicle is too tall for garage parking), it’s recommended to email the venue in advance (www.uber-eats-music-hall.de ).
