The Classic Center

The csc staff treated me and my friends incredibly rude at the beginning of the widespread panic show on February 10^th. We were in the correct seats and staff number 27 yelled at me and insisted we leave your seats. I had to raise my voice at him until he believed me. When I talked to the supervisors they stood by the person and wouldn’t listen to me. Going to put down my phone and enjoy the how now but I expect classic center or csc to give me some sort of apology or explanation.

FIRST THINGS FIRST!
When visiting the city for the first time, a stop at The Classic Center is a great first step. Here you will find the visitor’s center where you can obtain brochures and information regarding upcoming performances and things to do in the area. This is also a really large space for conferences and other events.
As you enter the building, there is a wall to your immediate left that holds brochures and to your slight right, you will find the receptionist desk, (not in today), where you can obtain additional information. On the lower level of this building is an indoor ice rink that can be assessed by the indoor escalators. This was a popular area today!
I love the casual seating and viewing screen that advertises certain events and activities. My husband and I actually sat in this area to review our brochures and to plan our tour.
Don’t even think that you can park here as there were literally five spaces, two blocked by orange cones and three occupied. Simply use the on street parking and walk.
This is a very spacious and beautiful building. I especially love the carpet and very clean bathrooms. I look forward to returning and actually attending a performance at the theater next door. Cool!

I attended a conference here and the facility was quite adequate in terms of sound, seating, and a very accommodating staff. I must say, however, that it was really disappointing that they ran out of bacon at breakfast before I got there on the second day!!!

If you get a chance to see a performer you love when he/​she makes an appearance at the Classic Center Theatre, please go! The acoustics are great and it’s lovely to see a show in this beautiful, professionally-​run space. I forget what the downstairs open space is called – Wilco has played here more than once and it’s NOT a theatre, just a huge barn-​like standing-​room-​only music venue. Not my favorite place to see a show.
The Classic Center hosts conferences and conventions throughout the year. It’s a really convenient, viable option for big companies, as it’s in the heart of charming downtown Athens, an already inexpensive city with a lot to do within walking distance. No huge city traffic issues or rental cars required here.
Broadway tours pass through here a lot, too.
