Addition Financial Arena

Addition Financial Arena is the main hall on the University of Central Florida campus in east Orlando, and it fills a real gap in the city's lineup. It seats around 10,000, which is the sweet spot for an act that's too big for a 500-cap club but doesn't need to rattle around the downtown Amway Center. When UCF basketball isn't on the floor, the arena pulls in mid-to-large touring shows and special events all year.

The east-Orlando location is built for cars - campus parking opens up on event days, so you're not circling a downtown block looking for a meter. The University area around campus has filled in with restaurants and bars aimed at the student crowd, which makes it an easy spot to grab a bite before doors. Pick your seats by the show: lower bowl if you want to be close for a concert, upper level if you're happy to take in the whole room.

It's a clean, straightforward arena night without the downtown traffic tax. Find upcoming Addition Financial Arena events on Evil Tickets and lock in your seats before the calendar fills.
